One of the most recent developments in industrial tools to prevent fire damage is the introduction of fire safe valves. These valves are designed to prevent fire from spreading or becoming life threatening if the fuel valve gets damaged or generates a leakage.
The fire safe valves are thermally actuated spring-loaded valves. In case of fire, these close automatically and stop the fuel flow. The fuel flow from crankcase of the engine and the reserve oil supply is hindered, thus minimising the chances of leakage. Preventing the flow of fuel such as oil, gas, petrol and other combustibles, these spring loaded valves prove to be very useful and effective against any damage. A number of companies offer a large range of fire safe valves that provide great protection even in high-temperature and high-pressure conditions.
