Design of A Lever Safety Valve

The document describes the design of a lever safety valve. It includes objectives to model and design the valve parts and generate drawings. It then describes the purpose of the safety valve to relieve excess steam pressure in a boiler. The document lists and describes the various parts of the valve including the body, valve seat, lever, weights and fulcrum. It provides the design calculations to determine the blow off pressure of 0.154 MPa based on the placement of the weights and counterweights.

DESIGN OF A LEVER SAFETY VALVE

ABHIJITH SANKER T
Roll No 1
M1 MD
OBJECTIVES
• To model and assemble the parts of a lever safety valve using a
modelling software
• To generate the 2D drawings of various parts
• To design the valve for find the blow off pressure
LEVER SAFETY VALVE
• It is used to maintain a constant safe pressure inside the boiler
• When the pressure inside the boiler increases the safe value, the
excess steam blows off through the valve automatically
• The weights and its distance from the fulcrum are so adjusted
• When the steam pressure acting upward on the valve exceeds the
normal limit, it lifts the valve and the lever with its weights

• Valve,valve seat,bush and lever
• Nut, Bolt
Design
• Distance from the fulcrum point O to counter weight centre, 𝑙1 = 145 mm
• Distance from the fulcrum point O to bearing centre , 𝑙2 = 64 mm
• Distance from the fulcrum point O to weight centre, 𝑙3 = 670 mm
Design
Taking moments about fulcrum point O
W𝑐 ×𝑙1 = F×𝑙2 - W×𝑙3

For the Weight,density , ρ = 7.2 g/𝑐𝑚3 (for Grey C.I)


volume, V = 𝜋𝑟 2 h
= 𝜋 × (90 × 10−3 )2 × 96 × 10−3
= 2.19 × 10−4 𝑚3

Weight , W = ρVg
= 7.2 × 103 kg/𝑚3 × 2.19 × 10−4 𝑚3 × 9.81 m/𝑠 2
= 15.47 N
For the Counter Weight; density , ρ = 7.2 g/𝑐𝑚3 (for Grey C.I)
volume, V = 𝑙𝑏𝑡
= 0.150 × 0.1 × 0. 07
= 1.05 × 10−3 𝑚3

Counter Weight, W𝑐 = ρVg


= 7.2 × 103 kg/𝑚3 ×1.05 × 10−3 𝑚3 × 9.81 m/𝑠 2
= 74.163 N
• Applying in the equation
74.163 × 0.145 = F × 0.064 – 15.47 × 0.67
Maximum steam load, F = 330 N
If p is the pressure acting on the valve
𝜋𝑑 2
×p=F

d = diameter of the opening of the valve
= 52. 2 mm
𝜋×0.5222
× p = 330

p = 154081 Pa
= 0.154 MPa
