An air release valve can open against internal pressure because the internal lever mechanism multiplies the float force to be greater than the internal pressure. This greater force opens the orifice whenever air pockets collect in the valve. Air release valves are essential for pipeline efficiency and water hammer protection. 7, record 1, English, - air%20release%20valve

La ventouse est actionnée par la simple présence d’air. Elle fonctionne un peu comme un tuba d’enfant. Une bille placée en dessous de la purge vient boucher l’orifice quand elle est poussée par l’eau (poussée d’Archimède). Si de l’air s’accumule à cet endroit, le niveau d’eau descend et la bille également : l’orifice est alors libre d’évacuer les gaz prisonniers. 7, record 1, French, - ventouse
