Pressure relief device
11578808 · 2023-02-14 · ·

A pressure relief device includes a mounting seat, a valve core, and a pressure relief member. The mounting seat is internally provided with a fluid channel, and the fluid channel is capable of communicating with an internal space of a component to be subject to pressure relief. The valve core is arranged to be aligned with the fluid channel in the mounting seat, and a pressure relief channel is formed between an outer edge of the valve core and an inner wall of the fluid channel of the mounting seat. The pressure relief member is sleeved on the outer edge of the valve core and is deformable and configured to open and close the pressure relief channel by means of its deformation. The pressure relief device of the present application utilizes the deformable property of the pressure relief member to achieve the effect of repeated use and multiple pressure reliefs of the pressure relief device.

PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE AND METHOD OF RELIEF VALVE OPENING DETECTION

Systems and methods described herein provide for pressure relief valve detection and monitoring. A valve assembly includes a striker and an indicator assembly separated by a diaphragm. The diaphragm may be elastically or permanently deformable. The striker may be connected to a relieve valve disk that releases in response to high fluid pressure at the valve. Movement of the striker may be detected by contact with the diaphragm or by sensors near the diaphragm, which may trigger the indicator assembly to provide an external indication of a valve opening.

A pressure relief apparatus, a battery cell, a battery, and an electrical device are provided in embodiments of the present application. The pressure relief apparatus includes a pressure relief body and a score groove. The pressure relief body includes a pressure relief portion configured to be opened to relieve a pressure inside the battery cell when an internal pressure or temperature of the battery cell reaches a threshold. The score groove is arranged on the pressure relief body and includes a first arc-shaped groove and a second arc-shaped groove. The arc-shaped design of the first arc-shaped groove and the second arc-shaped groove makes it less likely that the pressure relief portion cannot be opened in a large area, thereby improving the safety of the battery cell.

Rupture disc having stress concentrating feature

A bulged, forward-acting rupture disc (10) and a pressure relief device (38) incorporating a rupture disc (10), having a line of opening (28) formed in the transition region (26) of the disc between the bulged section (12) and flange section (14) are provided. The line of opening (28) is a stress-concentrating feature that, in conjunction with a stress-intensifying edge (68) located on an associated outlet ring (42), facilitates opening of the disc (10) when exposed to a predetermined pressure acting upon the concave face (20) of the bulged section (12).

Hydrocarbon flowline corrosion inhibitor overpressure protection

The disclosure describes hydrocarbon flowline corrosion inhibitor overpressure protection. Such a protection system includes a fluid flow pathway fluidically coupled to a corrosion inhibitor injection pump that injections corrosion inhibitor into a hydrocarbon carrying flowline. When the injection pump pressure exceeds a threshold flow pressure, the corrosion inhibitor is flowed through a first branch of the fluid flow pathway to relieve the excess pressure. The first branch is fluidically isolated from a second branch. When a rupture disc in the first branch fails, then the corrosion inhibitor is diverted to flow through the second branch and the first branch is isolated from the corrosion inhibitor flow.

Rupture valve and energy storage device

A rupture valve is formed on a wall of a container and has a break line along which a wall thickness of the rupture valve is decreased. The break line has an outer edge line which defines an outer edge of an opening region and a plurality of division lines which divide the opening region. The outer edge line has: a first base line and a second base line formed discontinuously such that the first base line and the second base line extend in a first direction, and are formed in a spaced-apart manner in a second direction orthogonal to the first direction; a first support portion forming line formed on a breaking portion of the first base line and extending from the first base line toward the second base line; and a second support portion forming line formed on a breaking portion of the second base line.
