Type ACE95JR

Principle of Operation
The Type ACE95jr tank blanketing valve controls the
vapor space pressure over a stored liquid. When liquid is
pumped out of the tank or vapors in the tank condense,
the pressure in the tank decreases. Tank pressure is
sensed by the large actuator diaphragm. When tank
pressure is less than the valve set pressure, spring force
moves the actuator diaphragm downward.
When the actuator moves downward, it pushes open the
valve plug which allows flow in to the tank (See Figure 2).
When pressure in the tank increases above the setpoint,
the large actuator diaphragm is pushed upward, allowing
the valve plug to close.
The valve plug is balanced (inlet pressure equal upward
and downward force on these components); therefore,
the outlet (control) pressure of the unit is not affected by
fluctuating inlet pressure.

WArnIng
Personal injury, equipment damage or
leakage due to escaping accumulated
gas or bursting of pressure-containing
parts may result if this gas blanketing
system is over pressured or installed
where service conditions could exceed
the limits given in the Specifications
section and on the appropriate
nameplate or where conditions exceed
any ratings of the adjacent piping or
piping connections.
To avoid such injury or damage, provide
pressure-relieving or pressure-limiting
devices (as required by Title 49, Part 192,
of the U.S. Code of Federal regulations,
by the national Fuel gas Code Title 54
