BELLOWS RELIEF VALVE : BOILER PRESSURE REDUCING VALVE
Bellows Relief Valve
relief valve
- The relief valve (RV) is a type of valve used to control or limit the pressure in a system or vessel which can build up by a process upset, instrument or equipment failure, or fire.
- Used at the discharge of a positive displacement pump. An adjustable, spring-loaded valve opens when a preset pressure is reached. Used to prevent excessive pressure buildup that could damage the pump or motor.
- safety valve: a valve in a container in which pressure can build up (as a steam boiler); it opens automatically when the pressure reaches a dangerous level
bellows
- In photography, a bellows is the pleated expandable part of a camera, usually a large or medium format camera, to allow the lens to be moved with respect to the focal plane for focusing.
- A kind used in a harmonium or small organ
- a mechanical device that blows a strong current of air; used to make a fire burn more fiercely or to sound a musical instrument
- A bellows is a device for delivering pressurized air in a controlled quantity to a controlled location. Basically, a bellows is a deformable container which has an outlet nozzle. When the volume of the bellows is decreased, the air escapes through the outlet.
- A kind with two handles used for blowing air at a fire
- A device with a bag that emits a stream of air when squeezed
Bellows Water Mill, Eaton Bray, Bedfordshire
Bellows Water Mill is now a private dwelling, although much of the equipment remains intact in the basement, including the mills spur wheel shown here. The 'stone nut' shown here originally drove one of the pair of millstones on the floor above (now a comfortable sitting room).
