ACCU-VENT Automatic Degassing Valves are designed to automatically vent gases and vapours that are commonly released from chemicals such as sodium hypochlorite or hydrogen peroxide or sulphuric acid. Gases or vapour are compressible, and if not vented cause what is known as vapour 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. ACCU-VENT Automatic Degassing Valves are designed to allow for the venting of gases and condensed vapour 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, vapour 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.
