High Pressure Safety Valve HVAC: Description and Operation

The valve is located at the rear of the compressor. The valve is used to prevent excessive high system pressure. The valve vents the system when a pressure of 3445-4135 kPa (500-600 psi) and above is reached. This prevents damage to the compressor and other system components. The valve closes with a minimum pressure of 2756 kPa (400 psi).
