ABSTRACT:
A safety relief valve (10) has a diaphragm actuator (24) including a diaphragm (26) with a dome chamber (34) on one side of the diaphragm (26) and an underdome chamber (36) on an opposed side of the diaphragm (26). A diaphragm operated pilot control valve (38) has a valve body (46) with a pilot sensing port (54), a pilot dome port (64), and a pilot underdome port (60) in fluid communication with a pilot valve chamber (52). A slidable pilot valve member (68) connected to diaphragm (42) is mounted for movement between two pairs of opposed annular seats (80, 84 and 82, 86). Actuation of pilot valve member (68) at a low set pressure permits fluid communication of inlet fluid from pressure vessel (15) to underdome chamber (36) and exhaust of fluid from dome chamber (34) to boost opening of main relief valve member (22).
