Sarasin – Starvalve (RS type) Changeover Valve

Sarasin – Starvalve (RS type) Changeover Valve

The Sarasin-RSBD® Starvalve series of changeover valves provides a safe and efficient method of switching from an active to a standby pressure relief valve.

Due to the changeover valve design, no seat lapping is required for maintenance, meaning there are minimal spare parts and a reduced cost of ownership. It reduces the risk of a pressure relief valve chattering from excessive pressure drop through traditional shuttle type changeover valves. The Sarasin-RSBD® Starvalve is a rotor type changeover valve which maintains a pressure drop of pressure below 3% through its body. This changeover valve is designed for use in refineries within the petrochemical and cryogenic industries.

KEY FEATURES & BENEFITS

  • Rotor type maintaining a pressure drop of pressure below 3% through its body
  • Clear, positive indication of the active pressure relief valve
  • Tested packing design plus minimal leak points ensure reduced fugitive emissions
  • No seat lapping is required for maintenance
  • Minimal spare parts reduce the cost of ownership
  • Simple operation, built-in seat equalization, and no special tool requirements minimize the total valve operating time
  • Tandem design (single way) for dual pressure relief valves which are discharging into a closed header system
