Air Release Valve
An air release valve is a kind of air inlet and exhaust device, typically used in water or irrigation schemes to ensure that any entrained air in the water system is automatically released in order to maximize the system performance. Entrained air pockets in pipes can cause excessive head loss and flow reductions if air is not effectively released.
