Pilot Operated Pressure Relief Valve - Axelson

An Axelson pilot operated pressure safety relief valve is


designed to be used on oil and gas production
systems, compressor stations, gas transmission
(pipeline) facilities, storage systems and in all gas
processing plants; whenever there is a need to exhaust
the overpressure volume of gas, vapor and/or liquid.
What's the big difference? The pilot operated valve
has unique design features that make this pressure
relief valve better than the spring loaded valve.

PILOT OPERATED RELIEF VALVE

Axelson Pilot Operated Relief Valves include the following models


(modelos)

Type HF - a full lift, pop-action valve with a fixed (5% to 7%) blowdown using a single nonflowing pilot. Applications for this design include gas and/or vapor service. It is available in sizes
ranging from 1" to 8" with pressures from 25 psig up to 6000 psig.

Type HD - a full lift, pop-action valve with an adjustable blowdown pilot. Applications include
gas and/or vapor service. It is available in sizes1" through 8" with pressures ranging from 200
psig up to 6000 psig.

Type GD - This valve has the same operational characteristics of the Type HD, however the
body of the valve is designed to provide a vertical straight through discharge. The GD valve is
available in 6" and 8" sizes only with operating pressures ranging from 200 psig to 1480 psig.

Type HL - a modulating opening valve with a fixed (2% - 7%) blowdown using a single nonflowing pilot. The valve is designed for gas, vapor and/or liquid service. Size offerings are 1"
through 8" with operating pressures from 25 psig to 1480 psig.

FULL FLOW CAPACITY - In addition to the various API orifice sizes, Axelson pilot operated
pressure relief valves offer FULL inlet size flow capacity through the valve. Many times this
allows us to recommend smaller size valves at a cost savings to the customer.

BACK-FLOW PROTECTION - The unique Axelson split piston (optional) is designed to


eliminate the effect of pressure in the discharge system back-flowing into a relief valve on
installations where several valves discharge into a common manifold.
SIMPLE MAINTENANCE - All maintenance, including changing the valve seat, can be
performed using ordinary hand tools without removing the valve from the installation.
NON-FLOWING PILOTS - Axelson non-flowing pilots reduce the problems of "freeze-up"
caused by the pressure drop through the flowing type pilots.
PRECISION OPERATION - The pilots of Axelson relief valves can be set externally with
exactness and will maintain accuracy of set pressure and reset pressure over an unlimited
number of cycles.

AXELSON OPERATING PRINCIPLE


Axelson pilot operated relief valves operate on the principal of unequal areas exposed to the
same pressure. When the relief valve is closed, system pressure is pushing upwards against
the piston seat seal on an area equal to the inside diameter of the seat. Simultaneously, the
same system pressure, passing through the pilot, is exerting a downward force on the piston
acting on an area approximately 50% greater than the inside diameter of the seat. The resulting
differential force holds the valve tightly closed. As the system reaches the discharge set
pressure of the valve, the tighter the piston seal becomes until the time the system pressure
reaches the relief valve discharge set pressure. At that moment, and not before, the pilot cuts
off the supply of system pressure to the top of the piston and vents that system pressure which
is located in the chamber above the piston of the relief valve. At the same instant, the relief
valve pops open. When the predetermined blowdown pressure is reached (either fixed or
adjustable), the pilot shuts-off the exhaust and re-opens flow of system pressure to the top of
the piston effectively closing the relief valve.

Over the years, P. C. McKenzie Company has literally sold thousands of Axelson Pilot
Operated Relief Valves. We receive calls daily requesting replacement parts to keep these
valves in operation. Normally, replacement parts are not a problem and we can respond quickly
to our customers. However, many of the older valve models, the D-3 and F that carry the
Garrett or USI name, have become increasingly difficult to source parts for.
Most of these valves date prior to 1960, when three USI manufacturing concerns merged under
the name of Axelson, Inc.
We will try to supply parts for the older valves but suggest the implementation of a valve
replacement program that focuses on these obsolete valves. This would allow customers
upgrade to current technology in the form of the Axelson HF, HD and HL valves. It also
eliminates the problems and frustrations of trying to locate parts that are no longer obtainable.

Actuator Design and Principle of Operation/ Diseo del actuador y principio de funcionamiento
Pneumatic control pressure enters the cylinder. The extended stem travels downward indicating the valve is open. The
adjustable downstop prevents further downward movement. The gate valve is now fully open. The actuator is designed to
maintain the valve (reverse-acting) in the open position with pneumatic pressure on top of the diaphragm.
La presin neumtica de control entra en el cilindro. El vstago extendido se desplaza hacia abajo indicando que la vlvula est
abierta. El downstop ajustable impide el movimiento adicional hacia abajo. La vlvula de compuerta es ahora completamente abierta.
El actuador est diseado para mantener la vlvula (de accin inversa) en la posicin abierta con presin neumtica en la parte
superior del diafragma.

Loss of pneumatic pressure allows pressure in the valve body and spring force to move the stem and gate into the closed
position. The extended stem indicates the valve is closed. The metal-to-metal seat between the actuator bonnet and lower
stem serves as a secondary seal. Upstream valve body pressure helps to hold the gate in the closed position. The
spring allows the gate to close with less than 100 psi in the valve body.
La Perdida de Presin neumtica permite que la presion en el cuerpo de la Vlvula y la fuerza de resorte impulsor el vstago y la
puerta en la posicion cerrada. El vstago extendido indica que la valvula esta cerrada. El asiento de metal de un entre el metal el cap

A surface
pressurevalve.

safety valve is a full-opening,


actuated, normally closed gate

Una vlvula de seguridad de la superficie es abierta completamente, vlvula de compuerta normalmente cerrado accionado por presin.

When control pressure is released, the valve is designed to close even when subjected to high flow line pressure.

Cuando se libera la presin de control, la vlvula est diseada para cerrar incluso cuando se somete a presin de la lnea de alto flujo

It closes completely and rapidly as the control pressure is released. Flowline fluid does not enter the operator
mechanism, nor exhaust to the atmosphere when the valve operates.
Se cierra por completo y rpidamente a medida que se libera la presin de control. Flowline fluido no entra en el mecanismo operador, ni de escape a la
atmsfera cuando opera la vlvula.

The surface safety valve assembly consists of a hydraulic or pneumatic actuator which operates a reverse-acting gate
valve. The actuator design makes it an integral part of the valve assembly by adapting directly to the valve bonnet.
El conjunto de vlvula de seguridad de la superficie consiste de un actuador hidrulico o neumtico, que opera una vlvula de compuerta de accin
inversa. El diseo del actuador hace que sea una parte integral del conjunto de vlvula mediante la adaptacin directamente a la tapa de la vlvula.

Pressure applied above the piston pushes the piston, stem, and gate down. This downward movement opens the gate in
reverse-acting gate valves.
La presin aplicada sobre el pistn empuja el pistn, vstago, y la puerta hacia abajo. Este movimiento hacia abajo se abre la puerta de las vlvulas de
compuerta de accin inversa.

Pressure in the valve body is sealed at the lower stem and prevented from entering the actuator assembly. The area
below the piston is vented to the atmosphere.
La presin en el cuerpo de la vlvula est sellada en la parte inferior del tallo y se le impidi entrar en el conjunto del actuador. El rea por debajo del
pistn es ventilado a la atmsfera.

When control pressure above the piston is exhausted by the operation of the pilot system, the valve closes. Valve body
pressure works across the area of the lower stem to force it out of the valve body, drawing the gate into the closed
position.
Cuando la presin de control por encima del pistn se agota por el funcionamiento del sistema de piloto, la vlvula se cierra. La presin del cuerpo de la
vlvula funciona a travs de la zona del vstago inferior a la fuerza fuera del cuerpo de la vlvula, dibujo de la puerta en la posicin cerrada.

With no pressure (less than 100 psi) in the valve body, the spring returns the valve to the closed position.
Sin presin (menos de 100 psi) en el cuerpo de la vlvula, el resorte devuelve la vlvula a la posicin cerrada.

A visual indication the valve is in the open position is when the stem is protruding approximately 1/4 inches above the
cylinder. If the stem is protruding visually 1/4 inch more than the stroke of the valve, this is an indication the valve is
closed.
Una indicacin visual la vlvula est en la posicin abierta es cuando el vstago sobresale aproximadamente 1/4 pulgadas por encima del cilindro. Si el
vstago sobresale visualmente un cuarto de pulgada ms que la carrera de la vlvula, esto es una indicacin de la vlvula est cerrada.
