LESER presented its pressure relief valve for concentrated solar power plants

LESER has designed a safety valve for the special application in the solar field: Securing pressures of up to 40 bar and temperatures of up to 400 °C/750°F, the “Solar Field” product solution based on a “Compact Performance” valve is ideally placed to work in CSP plants. The body material is resistant to heat. With a spring and a balanced bellows made from Inconel, functionality is ensured even at high temperatures and high back pressures up to 80%. Weld-on inlet and outlet ends ensure a tight connection, as do special sealings between bonnet and body to enhance external tightness even for creeping media like HTF. The valve has a test gag in order to be able to do a pressure test of the entire power plant.

The safety valve configuration for concentrated solar power plants from LESER has been successfully installed in more than 30 plants around the globe.
