A
differential pressure bypass valve is a device that allows fluid to flow through a bypass passage when the differential pressure between two points exceeds a certain value. This type of valve is typically used in systems that require a constant differential pressure between two points, such as HVAC systems, fuel delivery systems, and hydraulic systems.
There are several advantages to using a differential pressure bypass valve:
Increased system efficiency: Bypass valves allow excess flow to bypass the main system, reducing pressure drop and increasing the overall efficiency of the system.
Enhanced Safety: Bypass valves help prevent overpressure situations that could damage equipment or pose a safety hazard.
Improved Control: Bypass valves can be used to maintain a constant pressure differential between two points, allowing better control of the system.
Ease of Maintenance: Bypass valves are relatively simple devices that are easy to install, operate and maintain.
Cost-effective: Bypass valves are typically less expensive than other types of pressure control valves, making them a cost-effective choice for many applications.
