Civacon has NV3000 pressure vacuum vent
Sep 1, 2009 12:00 PM
Civacon announced the availability of a newly designed pressure vacuum vent that is more durable, allowing it to withstand extreme shocks and vibrations often experienced in the field. The increased durability of the NV3000 pressure vacuum vent is due to the lightweight polymers used in the construction of its horizontally positioned vacuum poppets and vertically mounted pressure poppet. According to vibration tests, this design allows the NV3000 to last much longer than other vents.
The design of the NV3000 and its poppets also allows it to meet DOT406 MC306, ADR, and EN14595 standards for rollover protection and has also been designed to pass California Air Resources Board (CARB) tests. Poppets are strategically placed on the side body and located in a shielded bore to protect against damage due to high impact from the trailer bounce and surge forces that can occur when petroleum product is being transported.
Maintenance concerns with the NV3000 have also been lessened thanks to a new push-and-twist removable carrier designed for easy replacement. This design requires no tools after initial installation, making inspection and cleaning easier. The vent also contains a dust screen created to keep foreign materials out of the working portions of the vent. Leakage tests are also more reliable due to the poppet's stronger springs and higher set pressures.
