Diesel generator storage tanks often handle highly flammable materials, which creates a significant fire hazard. This is a big concern for engineers, purchasers, and service providers in the diesel generator industry. The solution is to incorporate reliable safety devices, such as the BI-TORQ fusible link valve, which automatically shuts off the flow to prevent potential disasters.
The BI-TORQ fusible link valve is a thermal shut-off valve designed to give you automatic shut-off in case of fire. It works by using a fusible link made of a metal that melts at a specific temperature (165°F to 450°F). When the link melts, it releases a spring mechanism that closes the valve and stops the flow of flammable or explosive media. This makes it perfect for diesel generator storage tanks because it keeps you safe and prevents catastrophic incidents.
Understanding how fusible link valves work and the benefits they provide can help you improve the safety protocols in your operation.
How does a fusible link valve work
The fusible link valve works by using a fusible link made of a specific metal that melts at temperatures between 165°F and 450°F. When the temperature gets to that point, the link melts, which releases a spring mechanism that closes the valve and stops the flow of fluid or gas. This automatic response is critical in fire scenarios because it stops the spread of flames through the pipeline.
What are the fusible links found on an emergency fire valve
The fusible link on an emergency fire valve is usually an FM or UL-approved two-part linkage held together by heat-sensitive solder. This linkage keeps the fire safety valve open by maintaining tension on a spring pack through a trigger assembly. When the fusible link melts due to high temperatures, the spring is released, closing the valve to prevent fire spread.
