Valve Sensing Valve TPM

Description

A Hale Sensing Valve TPM, or Hale Tank Pressure Management System, is a valve system used on fire trucks to regulate the pressure of the water in the pump and tank. It is a crucial component of firefighting operations, as it helps to ensure that the pump has enough pressure to deliver water to the fire, while also preventing the tank from overpressurizing and bursting.

The Hale Sensing Valve TPM system consists of three main components:

• Sensing valve: This valve is located on the top of the fire truck’s water tank and is responsible for sensing the pressure of the water in the tank.
• Relief valve: This valve is located on the pump and is responsible for relieving pressure from the pump and tank if it becomes too high.
• Control valve: This valve is located on the pump and is used to adjust the pressure of the water delivered to the fire.

The sensing valve is connected to the relief valve and the control valve by a series of hoses and pipes. When the pressure in the water tank reaches a certain level, the sensing valve opens and allows water to flow to the relief valve. The relief valve then opens and releases excess water from the pump and tank, preventing the tank from overpressurizing. By opening or closing the control valve, the firefighter can control the amount of water that is flowing to the fire.

The Hale Sensing Valve TPM system is a reliable and effective way to regulate the pressure of the water in a fire truck. It is an essential component of firefighting operations and helps to ensure that firefighters have the water they need to extinguish fires safely and effectively.
