Crosby

Founded in 1874, Crosby’s earned worldwide recognition in overpressure protection. Crosby supplied the nuclear pressure relief valves for the first atomic submarine (USS Nautilus) and the first commercial nuclear power plant at Shippingport, Pennsylvania. The dedication and commitment that has existed for over 125 years is still present today as we continue to meet the high demands of today's nuclear industry.

   


HA (Safety Valve)
The Crosby Style HA has been designed for the exacting service and operating requirements of nuclear power plants. Style HA assures precise operation and continuing tightness plus ease of maintenance which characterizes Crosby safety valves. It is intended for service on pressurized water reactors as the main steam safety valve.

HB-BP (Safety Valve)
The Crosby Style HB-BP is designed specifically to meet the exacting requirements of nuclear power plant applications where the valve is not allowed to discharge to the atmosphere. The bellows "balances out" the effects of high backpressure in the discharge system, assuring constant popping pressure despite variable backpressure, Crosby's patented eductor design controls the dynamic forces of discharging fluid to stabilize valve performance. The valve provides full capacity, stable operation at backpressure up to 50% of the set pressure. The valve is used as a Pressurizer Safety valve in pressurized water reactors throughout the world.

HB-BP-DF (Safety Relief Valve)
The Crosby HB dual function safety relief valve fulfills the special overpressure safety requirements of boiling water reactor primary loops (where remotely controlled automatic steam blowdown valves are not used). The valve will pop automatically at the set pressure or may be opened by means of an electrical signal to one, two or three solenoid valves that actuate the air cylinder on the main steam valve. Mounted to the primary steam generator piping, the style HB dual function valve has similar construction and performance features to the HB pressurizer valve.

JLT-JOS/JBS
The Crosby styles JLT-JOS is a conventional pressure relief valve designed for liquid service. The JLT-JBS is a balance pressure relief valve for liquid service. The balancing bellows minimizes the effects of backpressure and prevents the process fluid from entering the spring chamber. The internal trim of both the JLT-JOS and the JLT-JBS provides stable non-chattering valve performance on incompressible fluid applications. this superior high performance valve has increased capacity at 10% overpressure that often permits the use of a smaller valve for the application.

JO and JB “Over-T”
The JO and JB valve designs are also offered with orifice sizes greater than “T” for applications with high flow requirements. The largest, with a capacity nearly seven times that of a “T” orifice valve, can relieve over 3,000,000 lb/hr (1,360,800 kg/hr) steam at 300 psi (20.7 bar) pressure. Their dependability and performance has been proven by successful operation in nuclear power stations worldwide. A typical application in the nuclear power station is the moisture separator/reheater.
