Can a quick-release valve be used in the control circuit of the anti-surge valve?

When learning*, one should focus on the principles, not just what others say. That is someone else’s thing; it’s their way of understanding it, and that doesn’t necessarily mean it’s the correct answer. The anti-surge valve is considered a micro-regulation valve, while the vent valve is a macro-regulation valve. Because the two viewing perspectives are different, the diameter of the micro-regulation pipe is smaller than that of the macro vent pipe. This anti-surge valve can make slight automatic adjustments within a set range, while the vent valve is under control via a sequential control program. For example, if an emergency occurs under subsequent operating conditions and a cascade reaction is triggered, this vent valve will open fully. Of course, the anti-surge valve also initially responds by opening wide, but as the vent valve opens fully, the signal received by the anti-surge valve falls below the set value, causing it to close automatically. It is recommended to understand it from a fundamental perspective and to read the device’s instructions more often. Some people say it can only serve as a reference question; before understanding whether what they say is correct, it’s best to treat all of these as one’s own. To avoid any misunderstandings.

First of all, thank you for providing such detailed guidance. I think I didn’t describe it carefully enough, which may have caused confusion. What I meant to say is that our company’s regulations prohibit the use of quick-release valves in the air control circuit of anti-surge valves for rapid exhaust of air from the cylinders. But based on my experience, or rather, looking at the application cases of Fisher’s products (a typical example from Fisher is the use of quick-release valves), is this requirement reasonable? The person in charge who I asked replied that releasing air too quickly can cause unstable valve operation. I don’t accept this reason. Therefore, I would like to ask the friends on the forum to help me figure this out.

The use of a quick-release valve must be combined with a solenoid valve, that is, it has to be used in conjunction with a interlock system. During normal operation, the quick-release valve does not participate in the control process, which eliminates the problem of instability in the air circuit caused by this valve. However, when the compressor fails, especially during surging, the valve must open quickly; at such times the entire system becomes unstable, and it is no longer possible to maintain stability in the air circuit. Resolving the fault is of primary importance.
