Unique Vacuum Breaker Valve How It Work

The Alfa Laval Unique Vacuum Breaker Valve operates in a manner similar to a ball check valve. When pipelines are pressurized during a process or CIP, the internal ball is forced upward against its seat, closing the vent port (Fig. 1a). When pipeline pressure drops, the ball is drawn downward, allowing air to enter the vent, thereby preventing vacuum in the system (Fig. 1b). During CIP, a pneumatic actuator is used (pulsed) to force the ball off the upper seat, enabling the seat and the interior of the vacuum breaker valve to be cleaned. CIP fluid is discharged during the actuator pulse and is drained through the vent port
