steam engine safety valve

A steam engine safety valve is a critical device that prevents excessive pressure buildup within the boiler. It automatically releases steam when the pressure exceeds a safe limit, ensuring the boiler doesn't explode or get damaged. The valve is calibrated to open at a specific pressure point, releasing steam to maintain safe operating conditions. Once the pressure drops back to safe levels, the valve closes again. This mechanism is essential for safety, reliable operation, and preventing accidents caused by overpressure.
