GreenCap Series™ Pressure Relief Valves
Heartland Solutions, Inc. of Oldsmar, Florida, USA, is proud to announce the release of the first full-line of pressure relief valves for today’s transformers. The Heartland GreenCap Series ™ is now available. The use of Natural Ester-Based (NEB) fluids is rapidly becoming the fluid of choice because of its inherent efficiency and bio-degradability. One of the most commonly used NEB fluids is Cooper Power Systems Envirotemp FR3™. Under the guidance of Cooper Power Systems, the GreenCap Series ™ pressure relief valves were created. According to Cooper Power Systems, the conventional Mineral Oil transformer pressure relief valve may not be suitable for long-term exposure to FR3™ fluid. Therefore, a specially designed pressure relief valve should be used and adhere to the following requirements:
- Each valve should be properly treated to ensure the valve operates within the specifications outlined for each pressure relief valve model
- An easily distinguishing marking (i.e. a GreenCap) should be used to identify the valve is FR3™ compatible
- A minimum flow rate of 50 SCFM should be used, and
- Each FR3™ compatible pressure relief valve model type should carry a unique part number
The Heartland GreenCap Series ™ models meet these requirements and are available for all the same pressures, flow rates and features as our conventional Mineral Oil pressure relief valve models.
