This study presents an innovative method for detecting PRV leakage using specially designed cavity-shaped whistles to generate sounds at specific frequencies. The accuracy of this method is superior to commercial acoustic emission methods, as the discernable sound spectrum from cavity-shaped whistles alleviates interference from leakage jet noise. The generated sounds' frequencies are independent of leakage flow rate, channel size, and sensor location, showing great potential for PRV leakage detection.
Currently accurate on-line leakage detection of pressure relief valves (PRVs) is still a challenge. This study presents an innovative method of detecting PRV leakage by generating sounds with a crest at a frequency of 32.7 kHz and a trough at a frequency of 25.0 kHz using specially designed cavity-shaped whistles. The accuracy of the leakage detection using the proposed method was superior to that of the commercial acoustic emission method. On the one hand, this is because the interference by the leakage jet noise could be alleviated by the discernable sound spectrum generated using cavity-shaped whistles. On the other hand, this is because the occurrence of the crest (32.7 kHz) and trough (25.0 kHz) of the generated sounds was independent of the leakage flow rate, leakage channel size, and sensor location. The integration of the cavity-shaped whistle with the PRV showed negligible effects on the PRV dynamic performance. The proposed method showed great potential for the leakage detection of the PRV given its advantages of low cost, high sensitivity and good accuracy. (C) 2021 Institution of Chemical Engineers.
