Vent Valve Uses

The main purpose of the Vent Valve is to control the flow of gas. It is commonly used in a variety of systems, including piping systems, storage tanks, liquid containers, etc. The main functions include:

Pressure control: The vent valve can help control the pressure in the container or system to prevent excessive pressure from causing equipment damage or safety accidents.

Exhaust: In some systems, such as water treatment systems or chemical equipment, it is necessary to exclude internal air or other gases to ensure the normal operation of the system.

Safety protection: In the case of overpressure or negative pressure, the air vent valve can be automatically opened to release excess pressure or introduce outside air to protect the equipment from damage.

Maintain balance: In some environments where specific air pressure needs to be maintained, such as medical devices or laboratory equipment, ventilation valves help maintain the required pressure balance.

Prevent contamination: In some applications, a vent valve can also prevent outside contaminants from entering the system while allowing gas to escape.

The design and use of a vent valve depends on the specific needs of the system in which it is located, including the type of gas being handled, the pressure level, and the material requirements for the valve. They are integral components for many industrial and commercial applications.
