US Patent 10550665 Electronically controlled pressure relief valve system

A pressure relief valve system for a fluid injection system is provided. The pressure relief valve system comprises one or more pressure transducers configured to sense fluid pressure within the fluid injection system. The transducers then generate electrical signals representative of fluid pressure readings within the fluid injection system in real time. Signals are received by a controller which compares pressure readings with a stored pressure threshold. An actuation signal is sent upon detecting a signal representative of a pressure that exceeds the stored pressure threshold, causing an electraulically-actuated valve to rotatably move to an open position. A method for providing pressure relief for a fluid injection system is also provided.
