pressure release valve air compressor

The pressure release valve is a critical component of an air compressor. This helps to ensure that the compressor is completely turned off when idle; which in many cases it might be on constantly during use. When the air pressure in your compressor tank is too high, this valve opens and some of that compressed air bleeds out. A safety device to stop the tank exploding in your face and doing you harm due to its flammable nature.

Preventing Accidents with an Air Compressor pressure Release Valve

Dangerous, if you do not basic knowledge and precautions when using an air compressor. The tank air pressure is monitored continually by the position of this valve and it also serves to do that job. The valve is meant to open and release air if the pressure inside becomes too high. This is what helps in maintaining the optimum range of pressure. If the valve is a bit faulty or builds up enough dirt to become blocked and you have not tested this in years then even that relatively low pressure can still build up into an amazing amount of power with no warning. This causes an explosive decompression that can be lethal, and understanding how the valve works is vital.
