TLV 16K-50A Pilot Operated Pressure Reducing Valve

Description:

The TLV 16K-50A Pressure Reducing Valve is a pilot-operated steam pressure reducing valve designed to automatically lower and regulate downstream steam pressure in industrial steam systems. Commonly installed in boilers, heat exchangers, sterilizers, food processing equipment, and process heating systems requiring stable pressure control and high flow capacity. Maintenance teams, plant operators, and OEM service technicians use this valve for steam system upgrades, pressure regulation, and replacement of existing PRVs. The valve is part of TLV's COSR-16 series, known for precise pressure control and stainless steel internal components for extended service life.

Applications:

The TLV 16K-50A Pressure Reducing Valve is designed to maintain constant downstream steam pressure in industrial environments. It is commonly used in steam supply lines, heat exchangers, autoclaves, sterilizers, textile machinery, food and beverage plants, pharmaceutical facilities, and chemical processing systems where precise steam pressure control is required to improve process efficiency and protect downstream equipment. Pilot-operated operation provides fast response to changing loads while maintaining stable outlet pressure.
