Air release valves

Air release valves are specialized installation components used for automatic air venting and releasing in networks. They are most commonly utilized in water supply and sewage installations. GTM Process Valves offers, among others, DN 50 air release valve and DN 80 air release valve, as well as many other products that can be effectively used in water and wastewater networks. All products offered by us are characterized by very high quality and reliability of these components. Air release valves are intended for professional applications, ensuring excellent performance over a very long period of operation.

Air release valve – construction

Air release valves are characterized by a compact and streamlined construction, which usually makes their installation in the system very simple and trouble-free. Valves of this type consist of several basic elements, among which the most important is the float. This is a hydromechanical element – under the influence of water or pressure in the pipeline, it is set in motion, resulting in an increase in the opening size. Depending on the pressure (or vacuum) in the system, air is either released or sucked in. The general principle of operation of air release valves is simple, which makes them highly effective and reliable.

Types and applications of air release valves

Air release valves can be divided into several basic types based on their function, installation method, and degree of air release. These include dual-function and single-function (air release) air release valves, for above-ground and underground installation, as well as single-stage and two-stage valves.

In terms of application, we can distinguish between water air release valves and sewage air release valves. As the name suggests, their primary tasks include venting and airing the system according to needs and protection against pressure buildup in pipes. Before choosing the appropriate valve for a specific application, several important considerations must be analyzed, which are crucial for subsequent use. Primarily, it is necessary to determine the air inlet opening, air venting, air outlet opening, and pipeline air release.
