<p>A fluid transfer control valve (76) is connected to a pressure vessel formed from a plurality of hollow, polymeric chambers (50) interconnected by polymeric conduit sections (44) disposed between adjacent ones of the chambers. The valve includes a valve body and a pressure relief mechanism (295) attached to the body. The pressure relief mechanism (295) is operative to release pressure from the pressure vessel when the pressure within the vessel exceeds a predetermined maximum pressure. In a preferred embodiment, the relief mechanism comprises a rupture disk (321). The pressure relief valve may also include a filter element disposed along a fluid flow path defined within the valve body and/or a restrictive flow path for reducing the pressure of fluid flowing through the valve body.</p> |
