Hello,
We have a pilot psv on a superheated 600 psig steam line. We operate close to the set pressure of the psv, hence a pilot psv was selected.
We were told by the vendor that the maximum temperature the o-rings, etc... can handle is around 400 F. Therefore, there is a condenser on the pilot line which radiates to ambient atmosphere to try and cool the steam to a suitable temperature.
The psv is located outside.
We are wondering if anyone else has used something similar, and could share their experience.
Best regards,
Jonathan
