Key Benefits and Advantages
-
Highly Sensitive Control: The exceptionally large rolling diaphragm actuator allows the valve to respond to minute changes in tank pressure, maintaining setpoints within inches of water column.
-
Balanced and Frictionless Pilot: The fully balanced pilot design reduces sensitivity to inlet pressure fluctuations, ensuring that the blanket pressure remains stable even if the nitrogen supply pressure varies.
-
Bubble Tight Shutoff: Engineered to provide a positive seal, preventing the waste of expensive inert gases and ensuring the tank remains fully protected during static conditions.
-
Versatile Installation: Available in both angled and in-line body options to accommodate different piping geometries and space constraints on top of storage tanks.
-
Self-Contained Operation: The valve is self-powered by the process gas, eliminating the need for external power sources or complex control loops.
-
Vacuum Capability: Beyond standard pressure settings, vacuum settings are available for specialized applications requiring sub-atmospheric control.
-
Sanitary Ready: For pharmaceutical and food-grade applications, the ACE95 can be equipped with FDA-approved and ADI-free elastomers to ensure process purity.
-
Optional Accessories: Can be configured with a Purge Meter (Rotameter) to monitor gas flow or a Single Array Manifold (SAM) for simplified maintenance and testing.
Technical Properties
