Pressure reducing valves (PRVs) are essential components designed to lower the incoming pressure of steam or gas to a desired outlet pressure, enhancing safety and efficiency in boiler systems. By reducing steam pressure, these valves improve energy efficiency, cater to application-specific requirements, and minimize the risks of overheating. There are two main types of PRVs: direct-operated PRVs, which are simpler and used in lower-capacity applications, and pilot-operated PRVs, which provid
