There may be a variety of reasons why the burn-off pressure reducing valve cannot reduce the pressure normally. The following are the common reasons and corresponding solutions:
1. Internal component failure or blockage in the pressure reducing valve
Causes:
-Valve core, seat, or diaphragm wear and deformation leading to poor sealing.
-Foreign matter (e.g., pipeline rust deposits, fuel oil gum) blocking valve passages or filter screens.
-Spring aging or breakage impairing pressure regulation.
Solutions:
-Disassemble and clean the valve body, replacing damaged diaphragm, spring, or core.
-Inspect and clean upstream filters to ensure fuel purity.
2. Incorrect pressure setting or malfunctioning adjustment
Causes:
-Loose or stripped adjustment screw causing pressure setting deviation
-Damaged pressure gauge with inaccurate readings (requires calibration or replacement)
Solutions:
-Re-adjust the pressure reducing valve's output pressure using specialized tools to tighten the adjustment screw
-Replace faulty pressure gauge to ensure reliable readings
3. Abnormal inlet pressure
Causes:
-Sudden increase in upstream gas/oil supply pressure exceeding the operating range of the pressure reducing valve.
-System pressure fluctuations (e.g., pump start-stop shock).
Solutions:
-Check upstream pressure sources (e.g., pumps, storage tanks) to ensure stable pressure.
-Install buffer tanks or pressure stabilizers to mitigate fluctuations.
4. External Environment or Installation Issues
Causes:
-Incorrect installation direction of pressure reducing valve (e.g., inlet/outlet reversed).
-High ambient temperature causing diaphragm hardening or seal material failure.
Solutions:
-Verify valve flow direction markings and reinstall correctly.
-Improve ventilation or replace with high-temperature resistant pressure reducing valve models.
5. Other System Interconnection Issues
Causes:
-Leakage in downstream pipelines or incomplete valve closure prevents pressure establishment.
-Parallel standby pressure-reducing valves remain un-isolated, creating bypasses.
Solutions:
-Inspect pipeline seals and valve status to identify and repair leakage points.
-Close redundant pipelines to ensure single-valve operation.
Recommended troubleshooting steps:
1. Initial inspection: Check for unusual noises or leaks, and verify the pressure gauge reading.
2. Cleaning and maintenance: Disassemble and clean the valve body, replacing any worn components.
3. System testing: Isolate the pressure reducing valve and independently test whether its input/output pressures match the set values.
4. Professional support: If issues persist, contact the manufacturer or certified technicians for further inspection.
