ACCU-VENT
Automatic
Degassing Valves Designed
to improve the performance and safe
operation
of most pumps used for metering applications.
ACCU-VENT
Automatic Degassing Valves are designed to automatically vent
gases and vapors that are commonly released from chemicals
such as Sodium Hypochlorite or Hydrogen Peroxide or Sulfuric
Acid.
Standard
Features:
• CPVC (Corzan) and Viton corrosion resistant wetted materials
of construction
• specially designed float material that automatically vents
built up gases on system start up and under working pressure
• can be used on feed side or discharge side of pump (or both)
• standard 1/2" NPT threaded connections or optional 3/4"
NPT
• available in other materials of construction for various
gaseous liquid chemicals
Gases or vapor are compressible, and if not vented cause what
is known as vapor lock in your metering pump and the system,
causing the metering pump to malfunction and in most cases
the pump to stop discharging chemical to the system.
The valve is designed to allow for the venting of gases and
condensed vapor back to the feed tank, which improves priming
on initial startups and continuous trouble free operation
while working under pressure.
The valve when in operation vents gases, vapor and a small
amount of liquid, which is the same as the chemical being
pumped. This discharge must be returned through hard piping
or tubing back to tank, to prevent personnel or equipment
from coming in contact with the vented corrosive liquid.
