DVD Non-Slam Air Release and Vacuum Valves are designed to perform the three functions of DVD Double Chamber Air Release and Vacuum Valves, and an additional damping function to protect the system from a possible water hammer:
1. Venting of large volumes of air on the start-up of the system, while pipelines are filled.
2. Intake of large volumes of air on shut-off of the system, while pipelines are being drained.
3. Discharge of pressurized air pockets during the operation.
4. Prevention of slamming during the operation and the start-up of the system by forming an air cushion in the system.
