Pietro Fiorentini HIPPS Valve

[b]Pietro Fiorentini – HIPPS (High Integrity Pressure Protection System)[/b][line] HIPPS is a mechanical and electrical system designed in order to reduce the chance that the system pressure will exceed the tolerable allowable pressure. The protection against over-pressure is obtained by quickly isolating the source causing the over-pressure. [line] The entire HIPPS package consists of: Initiators, Logic Solver, and Final Element.[line] The initiators: Are field sensors and they are the inputs required to detect the hazardous condition. [line] The Logic Solver: Accepts these inputs and generates correct outputs that change the state of the final elements in order to mitigate the hazardous condition.[line]
