A vent valve protects containers, pipeline systems or tanks from underpressure via targeted airing and therefore prevents damage such as deformation and contraction. The vent valve constantly synchronises the previously defined differential value between atmospheric pressure and internal pressure within the container with the current differential pressure. Should it fall below the set value, the vent opens and draws air into the tank, container or pipeline until the pressure fulfils the desired differential value. In order for your vent valves to function reliably, you must maintain them regularly and keep their vent openings free of dust and dirt at all times. Only then are they perfectly protected against underpressure damages.
