    New pressure relief valve optimises safety and performance in critical gas applications

    Emerson has introduced the Anderson Greenwood Type 84 Pressure Relief Valve (PRV), specially designed to protect tanks and vessels used in hydrogen and other high-pressure gas applications. With Arlon® 3000XT* thermoplastic seating and ASME SA-479 Type S21800 stainless steel spindle material, the Type 84 PRV delivers exceptional leak-tight performance, resistance to embrittlement, optimum seat tightness, high reliability and long service life.

    PRVs are frequently used in traditional applications, but they are not designed to handle extremely small molecules at very high pressures. Therefore, they are not ideal for hydrogen gas, which can diffuse into metals and cause embrittlement of PRV internals, increasing the risk of leaks, failures and safety problems.

    To address these and other issues, Type 84 PRVs are constructed for high-pressure gas applications, with a range of 6,000 pounds per square inch gauge (413 bar gauge) to 20,000 psig (1,379 barg) for H2 and He, and a range of 6,000 psig (413 barg) to 21,756 psig (1,500 barg) for all other gases. It reaches full lift at less than 5% overpressure to protect the vessel or tank to which they are affixed, with zero leakage at 90% of set pressure.

    Type 84 valves feature a unique cartridge assembly design to apply uniform spring pressure, resulting in secure seat sealing and leak-tight performance. They are factory tested with helium and nitrogen, both accepted industry-wide as a substitute for hydrogen.

    Anderson Greenwood Type 84 valves comply with key industry standards for safety and performance, including American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) Section VIII and XIII, National Board of Boiler and Pressure Vessel Inspectors (NB) certification, and American Petroleum Institute (API) 527.
