BSV 8

BSV is a standard, back pressure independent safety relief valve, especially designed for protection of small components against excessive pressure and as a pilot valve for the pilot operated internal safety valve, type POV.BSV is an angle-way safety relief valve which can operate with a very high back pressure. The valve is designed to meet the strict quality demands and safety requirements for refrigeration installations, specified by the international classification societies.As the valve is not dependent on the back pressure, it is recommended for use as an internal safety relief valve. However, the valve can also be used as an external safety relief valve. The spring housing is tightly sealed to avoid refrigerant leakage.The inlet flow diameter of the BSV 8 is 8.0 mm (5⁄16 in.).The valves can be delivered with set pressures between 10 and 25 bar (145 and 363 psig).Standard pressure setting valves having "TÜV Pressure Setting Certificate" with each valve are also available.

Features and benefits

  • Applicable for the refrigerants HCFC, HFC, R717 (Ammonia), R744 (CO<sub>2</sub>)
  • Designed as a standard safety relief valve (DIN 3320) which are recommended for refrigeration plants
  • Recommended as an internal safety relief valve because its function is independent of the back pressure and can also be used as an external safety relief valve
