AV Series Steam System Exhaust Valve

Working principle

Air and other non-condensable gases can cause many problems in steam systems. Not only will the warm-up time be prolonged, but the temperature of a steam-air mixture will be lower than that of pure steam at the same pressure. Air will form a gas film that reduces heat transfer efficiency, leading to increased fuel consumption, and these gases are also the main cause of pipeline corrosion. Using a steam system air vent valve can remove air and other non-condensable gases from the steam system without leaking steam.

Product Description
Restrictions
Design pressure (PMA):
• AV13: 12 bar
• AV32: 32 bar
• AV45: 45 bar
Maximum operating pressure (PMO) @ maximum operating temperature (TMO)
• AV13 type: 12bar @ 250°C
• AV32 type: 50bar @ 400°C
• AV45 type: 45bar @ 450°C
Install
When installing the air exhaust valve, the liquid capsule (sensing element) should be in a horizontal position and the valve cover should be facing upward.
The air exhaust valve should be installed where air is likely to accumulate (steam main or equipment top), and the discharge port should lead to a safe place.
For easy maintenance, consider installing isolation valves upstream and downstream of the air exhaust valve.
The air exhaust valve should not be insulated.
