liquidrelief
Liquidrelief is a term used to describe systems or devices designed to relieve pressure or load in liquid-filled vessels by the controlled release of a liquid medium. Unlike gas-based venting, liquidrelief aims to damp pressure surges and cavitation through the release of liquid rather than vapor. The term can refer to individual components, mechanisms, or whole subsystems used for safety and process control.
A typical liquidrelief arrangement uses a valve, rupture element, or controlled throttle that activates when a
Applications include hydraulic power systems, chemical processing, energy storage and transfer, marine propulsion, and industrial cooling
Safety and standards require proper sizing, robust containment, leak minimization, and compliance with applicable codes and
The concept has appeared in engineering discussions and some product literature since the late 20th century,
