Fluid pressure protection system for piping with minimal components
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11965603B2) discloses a system designed to respond to pressure changes in a fluid. The system comprises three piping subsystems, each receiving different input flows and equipped with operating valves sized according to the diameter of the pipes they are coupled to. A test subsystem simulates surge events to ensure proper pressure venting by the piping subsystems. The system includes pilots to detect maximum pressure and pressure rate increases, as well as surge-relief valves for pressure venting. The system also features block valves for maintenance isolation and the ability to relieve fluid into a container based on specific criteria.
Furthermore, the patent describes a method for responding to pressure changes in a fluid using the system. The method involves providing the piping subsystems, test subsystem, pilots, and operating valves as detailed in the patent claims. The method includes simulating surge events to assess pressure venting efficiency and ensuring that the operating valves are appropriately sized for their respective pipes. The system's design allows for effective response to pressure changes in the fluid, with the ability to isolate subsystems for maintenance while maintaining normal operation in other subsystems. The method and system described in the patent aim to enhance the safety and efficiency of responding to pressure fluctuations in fluid systems, particularly in scenarios involving surge events.
