Emergency Valves for Pressure Control Systems in High Rise Buildings

Pressure reducing valves (PRVs) are used in high-rise buildings to maintain constant outlet pressure at all times. These PRVs often operate in tough conditions that can cause them to fail and stop protecting against high pressure conditions, which in turn can result in severe flooding, damage to pipes and fixtures, mold and other health hazards.

In order to protect downstream piping from these potentially dangerous overpressure conditions, pressure safety solutions should be implemented in PRV stations. In our next webinar, we’ll be reviewing the different safety solutions for buildings, explaining the principles behind safety solution pressure zone design, and giving examples of installations.
