Universal media safety valve for liquid and gas applications Dresser Consolidated has launched the new 1900 universal media pressure relief valve, to meet demand for a pressure-reducing valve certified for both liquid and gas, while requiring no adjustments. Users can operate the 1900 universal media valve on either liquid or gas at the same set pressure without making any adjustments, making it highly flexible. Because of its efficient blowdown the 1900 universal media valve returns processes back to normal operating pressure very quickly while minimising the amount of process media released from the system. The valve builds on the proven Dresser Consolidated 1900 safety relief valve to more easily accommodate process changes. “A major challenge for our customers is ensuring that they have equipment and components that integrate well for maximum flexibility, precision and efficiency,” said Joshua Scott, global director of product management for Dresser Consolidated. “The new 1900 universal media valve offers our customers a complete solution through its ability to transition between multiple media types with no adjustment to the set pressure.” The 1900 universal media pressure relief valve offers improved performance and simplifies maintenance needs for the end user. Other benefits of the valve include reduced noise (less noise when popping on gas), and decreased customer inventory, as it reduces the level of needed inventory for multiple valves by being interchangeable between liquid and gas.
