An air vent valve is a safety device that discharges air at the water supply piping in order to avoid air related problems in the water piping systems.

Air vents are access points to the ducts running through your home which allow the free flow of air to and from your HVAC system. Supply vents blow conditioned air from the HVAC into the rooms, and return air vents pull the air out of the rooms and back into the cooling system.4 mei 2019

Air Release Valves are used to automatically vent the air that can become trapped in any pipeline conveying fluid. They should be placed at strategic high points along the pipeline, where trapped air can accumulate.

When liquid is pumped through the system at startup, the initial air inside the piping is pushed into the air vent by the pressure of the flow. ... If air enters the air vent while it is closed, the liquid level drops and the float lowers, allowing the valve to open and discharge air once more.

When open, air flows freely; when closed (or almost shut), there's little or no airflow. Have you ever wondered if an AC vent should be open or closed? If you are using your heating and cooling system, they should always stay open!2 feb. 2021

Operation is simple: when a fixture drains and creates negative air pressure in the correlated drain line, the valve is opened, drawing air back into the pipe. Once the air pressure has been equalized, the valve securely closes (preventing the escape of gas) until the pressure drops again.

Laypeople sometimes refer to it as "vent cleaning," though this term is a little reductive: air ducts are the vast system of (usually) metal tubes that run from your furnace throughout your home, distributing heated or cooled air; vents are simply the point where the ducts open into the house.15 jan. 2018

Air vent valve is a boiler mounting fitted in the headers, boiler drum etc, to avoid imploding of boiler tubes when it is depressurized or when initially raising the steam pressure. It also helps in oxygen scavenging ie. removing air trapped in water during intial firing upto 2 bar pressure.

The valve allows the rising liquid to force out air that occurs naturally in a piping system. ... Furthermore, a relief valve won't vent accumulated air at pressures below the set point. Unlike a pressure relief valve, an air release valve is open at atmospheric pressure, then closes automatically when liquid is present.
