1.5. Safety valves for GSV, GSB, and GSF screw ‘compressors can be of two different designs. A unit will always be filled with one or more salely/by-pass valves, which are able to blow off the gas volume delivered by the compressor, so that the pressure will not exceed the working pressure of 25 ber by more than 10% (that is, max. 27.5 bar). Design 1: Safety valvos for opening pressure 25 bar. Must be connected to discharge into open air in a safe place, For size of discharge pipa see table. Safety valves Design 2: The slandard design from Gram A/S is dosign 2 shown at the bottom of the page. A by-pass valve is to be installed belween the oil separator where . there is discharge pressure, and the suction side of the ~ ‘compressor (he valve has not been mounted {rom the factory). The by-pass valve protects the differential pressure between the compressed gas and the suction gas against exceeding 18 bar. If you ‘operate with working conditions where the differential pressure is above 17 bar, contact Gram, This method of by-passing gas requires the mounting of an extra safely pressure control KP7ABS, Generally this pressure Control is factory sat to stop the compressor at 17 bar (B) and 23 bar (S) Safety Valve Discharge Pipe aly.
