Did you know
- Bay Valves was founded in 2006 with the aim of improving upon traditional weight- or spring-activated valve technology. They integrated magnetic Mini-Slip technology, originally patented in 1972, with weight force to enhance PV valve design and functionality.
- Within Bay Valves' range of pressure-vacuum valves, the 'Bay Valves' (Tankers (Oil & Gas)) model represents their general offering for maintaining stable tank pressure in various vessels, including oil and chemical tankers, FPSOs, and FSOs. It is distinct from their specialized 'High Velocity Valve' which focuses on rapid opening and VOC reduction, and the 'SuperSat' system designed for continuous pressure stability and VOC loss prevention.
- The Bay Valves PV valve is chosen for its ability to protect cargo tanks from both overpressure and underpressure, ensuring safety during loading, transport, and off-loading operations. Key strengths include adjustable pressure settings that can be changed while the valve is in service, and the option for in-situ maintenance of the vacuum side, which reduces downtime.
| Model | Opening Pressure (Oil Tanker) | Opening Pressure (Vacuum) | Maintenance |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bay Valves | 14 kPa | -3.5 kPa | Adjustable settings without removal, vacuum side removal with valve cradle |
| Bay Valves High Velocity Valve | 14-21 kPa | -7.0 to -3.5 kPa | Adjustable setting, exchangeable wear parts |
