Analysis of Air Release Valve Working Principle

Air bleed valves are often placed at the highest point of the pipe to continuously release unwanted air to prevent unwanted surges and maintain system performance. The bleed valve is used to vent entrapped air in the fluid line. Ideally, the bleed valve should be placed at a critical high point in the duct where trapped air can accumulate.


The use of a China air release valve protects and maintains the efficiency of the piping system. They are great for quickly releasing large amounts of air during filling or startup. They also allow air to return to the duct when emptied. Negative pressure can cause pipes to collapse, so this is critical. A properly sized bleed valve is critical to an effective, efficient and safe air control system. The amount of air accumulated in the system is difficult to determine. Sometimes a 2% operating water flow rate is recommended based on the 2% solubility of air in water. Determine the maximum differential pressure allowed at the valve orifice by calculating the required flow.


鈪. What is the China air release valve?


One of the most common types of air valves is the bleed valve. In addition to the small cavity and heavy float, the device has a lever mechanism. When all these functions work together, the bleed valve is able to release trapped air with maximum force.


鈪. The basic knowledge of China air release valve?


Pipes carry water from the source to the destination of each irrigation system. Due to irregular water supply levels, trapped air often forms in these pipes during this process. Water pipes can become clogged with trapped air, affecting their performance and the lifespan of the overall system.


For this, an air valve is used. The bleed valve helps to expel entrapped air so that water can flow smoothly through the pipes and the irrigation system can function properly. As the pressure inside the water pipe increases, the bleed valve opens, releasing the air.


A bleed valve or bleed valve is used to release air pockets that have built up at each high pressure point in the pipeline. The internal lever mechanism of the bleed valve makes the float force greater than the internal pressure, allowing it to open against the internal pressure. Any time air pockets collect in the valve; this greater force opens the hole. Air bleed valves are necessary to maintain pipeline efficiency and protect pipelines from water hammer.


鈪. The air release valve working principle


Often, the presence of air in ducts is not the result of improper installation or supplementary equipment, but rather that the ducts have not been properly degassed.


There are three main sources of air in ducts:


1. Before starting, the pipes are not technically empty; they are filled with air. Air must be expelled from the pipe until it is filled with fluid.


2. When pumping water, it contains 2% air by volume. Other fluids, such as adhesives, can trap air in their pockets. During fluid flow, air separates from the fluid and collects at high points in the system.


3. Air can be sucked into the system through mechanical equipment such as pumps, packings, valves, pipe joints, etc.


The highest point of the duct, where the air naturally gathers, is equipped with an automatic bleed valve. When air bubbles enter the valve, they displace the liquid inside and lower its level. When the water level drops to the point where it is no longer buoyant, the float drops. Due to this movement, the valve seat is pulled away from the orifice, causing the valve to open and release the accumulated air.
