The relief valve (also called a bypass valve) is a mechanism used to control or limit pressure or vacuum in a system by allowing the media to flow from an auxiliary passage, away from the main flow path. The relief valve is designed or set to activate at a predetermined pressure or vacuum. When this pressure or vacuum setting is exceeded, the relief valve becomes the "path of least resistance" as the valve is forced open and a portion of the media is diverted through the auxiliary route. The diverted media is usually returned back to either the reservoir or the pump inlet. The relief valve and bypass path can be internal (an integral part of the pump) or external (installed as a component in the media path). Pressure (symbol: p) is the force per unit area acting on a surface in a direction perpendicular to that surface. ... For other uses, see vacuum cleaner and Vacuum (musical group). ...
