Air Release and Vacuum Break Valves

The presence of trapped air in a pressurised pipeline can have serious effects on system operation and efficiency.

As air pockets accumulates at high points, they reduce the effective cross-section of the pipeline in their location, decreasing the water flow, increasing energy consumption required to pump the water through, thus reducing the overall system efficiency.
