The purpose of Pressure-Vacuum (PV) valves is to protect cargo tanks from excessive over/under pressure. … A PV valve facilitates the flow of small quantity vapour during Breathing/transport as well as higher flow rates during loading, thereby allowing tank atmosphere pressure to stay within a preset level.
How do you test PV valves?
- Set the value of the pressure gauge to 0.
- Turn the switch to the pressure side to allow air supply.
- Check and compare the reading on the pressure gauge with that on the PV valve itself.
- Turn the switch to the vacuum side.
What is PV valve setting?
Pressure vacuum valve or PV valve in the ventilation system will prevent either over or under pressure. They are set usually so that tank pressure of about 0.14 bar will lift the main valve (The smaller valve will lift along with it) and release excess pressure.
