Description
A Hale Thermo Relief Valve is a specialized valve designed to regulate the temperature of a fire pump system. It is typically installed in the discharge line of the pump and is designed to open when the temperature of the pumped water exceeds a certain threshold.
When the pump is operating, the friction generated by the movement of water through the system can cause the temperature of the water to increase. If the temperature becomes too high, it can damage the pump or other components of the fire protection system, potentially rendering it inoperable.
The Thermo Relief Valve is designed to prevent this from happening by opening and releasing a portion of the hot water from the discharge line, allowing cooler water to enter and reduce the temperature of the system. This helps to protect the pump and other components from damage and ensures that the fire protection system remains operational.
Hale Thermo Relief Valves are available in a range of sizes and configurations to meet the needs of different fire pump systems. It is important to ensure that the Thermo Relief Valve is properly installed, maintained, and tested as part of the overall fire protection system to ensure reliable operation in the event of a fire.
