Bidirectional Breathing Valve
Bidirectional breathing valve is a safety device used in various industrial applications, particularly in the storage and transportation of volatile or hazardous liquids. It is designed to maintain safe pressure levels within a tank or vessel by allowing the release of excess pressure or vacuum conditions.
Overview
How It Works
. Pressure Release: When the internal pressure of a tank exceeds a predetermined limit, the valve opens to release the excess pressure, preventing potential damage or rupture.
. Vacuum Relief: If the internal pressure drops below a certain threshold, the valve allows air to enter the tank, preventing it from collapsing due to the vacuum.
Key Features
1. Bidirectional Functionality: It can handle both overpressure and vacuum conditions, hence the name bidirectional.
2. Safety: Protects tanks and vessels from excessive pressure or vacuum that could lead to structural damage or failure.
3. Durability: Often made from corrosion-resistant materials to withstand harsh environmental conditions and the chemicals stored within the tanks.
4. Regulation Compliance: Designed to meet industry standards and regulatory requirements for safety and environmental protection.
