Description[edit]
The One Way Valve (Gas) is an intermediate device for connecting two pipe networks. As name suggests, it only allows gas to travel one way, indicated by the arrow on its side, based on the difference in pressure. This means that if pressure on input side is greater than on the output, gas will cross over to equalize pressures between the two pipelines, but higher pressure on output side will be isolated from an input side. This allows for the output pipe to accumulate pressure from the input, without then losing it through backflow.
As an example, this device can be used to prevent a part of the pipe network from losing pressure to an excessive volume when moving gas into it from one input, without the need to completely separate it from other inputs.
Unlike other Pipe Valve models, One Way Valve (Gas) is a purely passive device and cannot be closed.
