German camozzi valves camozzi models camozzi prices

camozzi valves can automatically open and close based on the system's working pressure. They are generally installed on equipment or pipelines in closed systems to protect system safety. When the pressure inside the equipment or pipeline exceeds the set pressure of the relief valve, it automatically opens to relieve pressure, ensuring that the medium pressure in the equipment and pipeline remains below the set pressure, thereby protecting the equipment and pipeline and preventing accidents.

camozzi valve working principle

is a type of hydraulic control valve. The main valve is divided into upper and lower parts by a diaphragm. The lower chamber of the diaphragm serves as the water flow passage, while the upper chamber acts as the control room, which controls the opening and closing of the main valve disc. The pilot valve itself is a relief valve; it also has a control chamber and a water flow passage, with the disc opening and closing controlled by the control chamber. The needle valve, i.e., the throttle valve, controls the water flow in the connecting pipe. During the operation of the fire water supply system, the main pipeline water flows from left to right. One path of control water enters the pilot valve control chamber. When the water pressure is lower than the set relief value, the thrust of the pilot valve spring is greater than the water pressure, keeping the pilot valve disc in the closed state. Another path of control water passes through the throttling needle valve into the upper chamber of the main valve, generating a static pressure. The pressure in the upper chamber equals the pressure in the flow passage. Since the upper surface area of the main valve disc is larger than the lower surface area, the pressure from the upper chamber on the disc is greater than the thrust from the water in the main flow passage on the disc, keeping the main valve in the closed state. If the main pipeline water pressure rises and exceeds the set relief value, the water pressure entering the pilot control chamber via the control pipe increases. When the water pressure exceeds the spring thrust, the pilot valve opens, and pressure relief begins in the upper chamber of the main valve. Due to the restriction of the throttle valve, insufficient water replenishment causes the pressure in the upper chamber of the main valve to decrease. The thrust from the water flow under the main valve disc becomes greater than the pressure in the upper chamber, causing the disc to rise and the main valve to open rapidly for pressure relief. Since this process occurs instantaneously, no harm is caused to the indoor fire water supply system during overpressure events. If the main pipeline water pressure continues to increase, the opening of the pilot valve also increases, resulting in a greater pressure difference between the upper and lower chambers of the main valve. Consequently, the main valve opening increases, and the system relieves pressure faster. Conversely, if the main pipeline water pressure decreases (e.g., when the number of indoor fire hydrants in use increases or more sprinkler heads are opened), the pressure in the pilot valve control chamber decreases, and the pilot valve opening reduces. The pressure in the upper chamber of the main valve increases, causing the main valve disc to move downward and close partially, stabilizing the main pipeline water pressure at the system design level.

camozzi valve classification

Relief valves mainly have two structural types: spring-loaded and lever-loaded. Spring-loaded types rely on spring force for sealing between the valve disc and valve seat. Lever-loaded types rely on the force of a lever and weight. With the need for larger capacities, a pulse-type relief valve, also known as a pilot-operated relief valve, has been developed. It consists of a main relief valve and an auxiliary valve. When the medium pressure in the pipeline exceeds the specified pressure value, the auxiliary valve opens first. The medium then enters the main relief valve through the guide pipe, opening the main relief valve and reducing the increased medium pressure.

camozzi valve operating instructions

Adjustment of relief valve opening pressure. 1) Before leaving the factory, each relief valve should be individually adjusted to the user's required set value for opening pressure. If the user specifies a spring working pressure class, it is generally adjusted to the lower limit of that pressure class before shipment. 2) Before installing the relief valve on the protected equipment, or prior to installation, the user must readjust it on-site to ensure the set pressure value meets requirements. 3) Within the spring working pressure class range indicated on the nameplate, the opening pressure can be adjusted by rotating the adjustment screw to change the spring compression. 4) Before rotating the adjustment screw, reduce the valve inlet pressure to below 90% of the opening pressure to prevent the valve disc from being driven to rotate during adjustment, which could damage the sealing surface. 5) To ensure accurate opening pressure values, the medium conditions during adjustment, such as medium type and temperature, should closely match actual operating conditions. Changes in medium type, especially when the aggregate state changes (e.g., from liquid to gas), often cause variations in opening pressure. As operating temperature increases, the opening pressure generally decreases. Therefore, when adjusting at ambient temperature for high-temperature applications, the set pressure at ambient temperature should be slightly higher than the required opening pressure. The extent of this difference depends on the valve structure and material selection and should be based on the manufacturer's instructions. 6) For conventional relief valves used in applications with fixed additional back pressure, when adjusting the opening pressure after testing (with atmospheric back pressure), the set value should be the required opening pressure minus the additional back pressure value.
