High velocity valves

Important safety features of the HI JET ISO II valve

The invention in 1971 was what we would now call disruptive. Before that there were no high velocity valves. Cargo tanks carrying flammable liquids were in most cases only protected by filters to stop flames, but these mostly just clogged up and blocked ventilation of the tanks. The invention of the High velocity valve facilitated high venting rates at low pressure drop and most importantly raised safety to a level never seen before. Bay Valves is constantly evolving and improving this groundbreaking design with a focus on safety and loss reduction. The main features of the HI JET ISO II valve are:

• Safety first characteristic – no pressure surge after opening
• High closing pressure to minimize cargo boil off
• Minimize VOC loss during voyage

A history of excellence

The magnetic Mini slip-technology was patented in 1972 and was a gamechanger only sold by one company. In the years to follow simpler and cheaper weight activated systems dominated. These are not as reliable or safe. In 2006 Bay Valves took over production of the High Velocity Valves with magnetic Mini slip-technology and has been improving the design ever since.

On its own Bay Valves’ High Velocity Valve is an industry leader in safety and VOC loss prevention. In combination with the SuperSat you get an absolute top of the line system that will protect your vessels and cargo, improve the environment and save money by preventing cargo evaporation even further.
