kelso safety valve made in china

Kelso"s pressure relief valve raises the bar on best available technology from railway equipment suppliers. Our external PRV design for general purpose tank cars improves reliability and performance over the older internal models that allowed active components to come in contact with the commodities being transported. In addition, the maintenance requirements for the Kelso PRV are less frequent due to elimination of contact with the goods inside the car, and the inspection process each time the tank car is loaded is far less time-consuming due to the Kelso PRVs location outside the car.  With thousands of units in service the Kelso external PRV has demonstrated reliable operations in many tough service conditions without need of maintenance or unscheduled repair.

The Kelso Technologies, Inc. pressure relief valve (PCH) for rail pressure cars has received final certification from the Association of American Railroads (AAR).

September 29, 2020, Vancouver, British Columbia and Burnham, Texas (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) – Kelso Technologies Inc. (“Kelso” or “Company”), (TSX: KLS), (NYSE American: KIQ) reported that in accordance with the requirements of the American Association of Railroads (AAR), major customers have begun to install Kelso’s new 2-inch pressure car angle valve ( K2AV), used for commercial field service trial test.

K2AV is a high-value special valve specially designed for pressure tank trucks. The service trial will test a total of thirty K2AV devices on ten tanks. According to AAR statistics, currently, the railway fleet currently has about 85,000 pressure tank cars. For Kelso, K2AV represents an important opportunity to expand the company’s product coverage in railway tanker equipment.

K2AV and the company’s Kelso top ball valve (KTBV), standard bottom hole outlet valve (KBOV) and pressure truck pressure relief valve (KPCH) have undergone field service test tests together, which is a prerequisite for obtaining the final AAR commercial. These advancements made by railway stakeholders in service field trials are a direct result of Kelso’s focus on customer-oriented product development programs that are expected to drive the growth of railway-related revenue in large railway product pipelines. The design goal is to significantly reduce the costly long-term performance and supply issues that are persistent problems with the current angle valves that are widely used today.

K2AV is used on pressurized rail tank cars, and its main purpose is to load and unload the contents of the tank. It is located on the top of the pressure service tanker, and its standard configuration consists of three or four angle valves for each tanker. The pressure tanker is loaded by an angle valve located inside the top protective cover assembly, and is used to transport flammable and non-flammable gases.

The key proprietary design elements of K2AV include the use of single-piece, high-quality machined parts to eliminate any pore defects-no cast parts are used. K2AV is designed for inspection, repair and maintenance, because the outlet panel flange and gasket can be easily removed for repairs. K2AV includes a self-draining, self-cleaning valve seat, so it can prevent the accumulation of goods in the seat area, thereby extending the life of the valve seat and valve. K2AV meets or exceeds AAR standards and regulations, and has a standard AAR tongue and groove installation, which is necessary for pressure car applications.

Like all Kelso railroad tank car products, the company’s K2AV is fully manufactured in the United States and completely processed from raw materials, which is a significant improvement over the imported castings used by competitors. The company’s comprehensive supply chain management system enables Kelso to provide customers with the shortest and most reliable delivery time in the industry, which is the main benefit of the dynamic production system to customers.

The company’s CEO and President James R. Bond said: “We will continue to leverage Kelso’s investment in the development of rail tank car equipment for motivated customers to strengthen the company’s rail business. This more effective R&D method and improvement with AAR The partnership, including the company’s long-term M1003 manufacturing qualification, increases the long-term potential for more revenue from newly developed products. Given the strict railway regulations and testing guidelines, the company’s R&D projects (such as K2AV, KTBV, KPCH and KBOV), Including the final AAR approval, it will still be complicated, time-consuming and expensive. The new revenue stream generated from any new products of the company is still unpredictable and there is no guarantee that it will generate considerable commercial revenue. During the K2AV field service trial period The management is expected to allow the company to legally sell the number of K2AV devices specified by AAR to meet customer needs in a commercial manner. If it is fully adopted by the railway industry, then the company’s K2AV and the company’s new KTBV, KPCH and KBOV are expected to improve Kelso’s financial performance of railway-related products contributes.”

Because of different of drive source, SSV can dividedinto Hydraulic safety valve and pneumatic valve ; With thermal and high voltage explosion-proof device ; Actuators and prepare two parts of the valve, standard interface, easy replacement and maintenance .

This valve is used for power plant boilers, pressure containers, pressure and temperature reducing device and other facilities. It serves to prevent the pressure exceeding the highest allowable pres-sure value and ensure the safety of the device when working.

（1）The pressure of the disc is balanced through the lever and heavy hammer and the valve is ensured seal by moving the for ton of heavy hammer and changing the weight of heavy hammer to reach the required set pressure.

（3）At the top of valve is equipped an electromagnet to open and another to close the valve. The actions of the mechanism and the electric appliance are separate and will not affect each other.

（2）Impulse safety valve shall be installed vertically and the lever shall be kept level. The clearance from the lever to both sides of guide fork shall be even.

（4）A long distance between the leading pipe of the impulse safety valve and the inlet pipe of the main safety valve shall be kept. And the distance between the electric contact pressure meter and the inlet pipe of the main safety valve shall be no less than 5 times of the diameter of the inlet pipe, for feat that the validity of the mater and the impulse safety valve may be affected by the steam releasing process of the main safety valve.

This valve is used for power plant boilers, pressure containers, pressure and temperature reducing device and other facilities. It serves to present the pressure exceeding the highest allowable pres-sure value and ensure the safety of the device when working.

1,When the medium pressure rises to the set pressure, the in-pulse safety valve opens, and the medium in the impulse pipe enters into the piston chamber of the main safety valve from impulse pipe, forcing the piston to descend, and then the valve automatically open-s; when the impulse safety valve closes, the disc will slash automatically close.

2,The main safety valve shall be fastened upon the gallows, which sustains the back-seat force produced in the steam discharging process of the main safety valve.

3,The exhaust pipe shall contain a special gallows to prevent the force of its weight directly applying on the main safety valve. The connecting Lange At the lowest point of the exhaust pipe, water drainage shall be taken into consideration to avoid producing water hammer while discharging set between the main safety valve and exhaust pipe shall eliminate any extra stress.
