  • Systems and Methods for Autonomous Pressure Relief Valve Testing
    Publication number: 20240044420
    Abstract: A control system for a pressure relief valve can include a controller and an actuator. The controller can control the actuator to at least partially open a main valve of the pressure relief valve and can determine one or more operational characteristics of the pressure relief valve based on a response of the valve to the controlled movement of the actuator.

  • Pilot-operated relief valve assembly
    Patent number: 11680654
    Abstract: A pilot-operated relief valve assembly can include a relief valve, and a pressure detection assembly. A valve lift factor or indicator of relief flow can be determined based on pressure measurements gathered by the pressure detection assembly.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 9, 2022
    Date of Patent: June 20, 2023
    Assignee: Emerson Automation Solutions Final Control US LP
    Inventors: Vishwa Kalyanasundaram, Michael McNeely, Raul Almazan, William Bockeloh
  • Rapid dome loading pilot valve bypass
    Patent number: 11567515
    Abstract: A flow arrangement for a pressure relief valve assembly can include a bypass flow path extending from a pressure source to a dome of a relief valve. The bypass flow path can include a valve that is configured to open and close the bypass flow path based on pressure at the pressure source or the dome, or a pressure difference between the pressure source and the dome.
