Double Block and Bleed Valve
African Valve is trusted Double Block and Bleed Valve Supplier across Africa, delivering top-quality valves serving Egypt, Nigeria for various industrial applications. It is a type of valve that combines the functionality of two block valves and a bleed valve into a single unit. These valves are commonly used in industries where safety and isolation of fluid is critical, such as oil and gas, petrochemical, chemical processing, and power generation.
It consists of two seating surfaces, one on each side of the valve, along with a vent or bleed valve in between. This configuration allows for the isolation of both upstream and downstream flow, as well as the release of any trapped pressure between the seating surfaces through the bleed valve. The DBB valve design enhances safety by reducing the risk of fluid leakage and providing a means to safely bleed off pressure or fluids before maintenance activities. These valves can be operated manually using handwheels or levers. They can also be automated with electric or pneumatic actuators for remote operation and integration into control systems.
Advantages:
- Improved Safety: By providing two separate isolation points and a means for verifying the integrity of the seals, DBB valves help enhance safety by reducing the risk of fluid leakage or contamination during maintenance or shutdown procedures.
- Space and Cost Savings: DBB valves can replace multiple valves and fittings with a single assembly, reducing the overall footprint and potentially lowering installation and maintenance costs.
- Easy Maintenance: DBB valves simplify maintenance procedures. When closed, the bleed valve allows for the release of any trapped pressure between the seating surfaces, facilitating safe maintenance activities. This eliminates the need for separate venting valves or additional bleed connections, streamlining maintenance processes and reducing downtime.
