Minimising
Instrumentation Fugitive Emissions
using New Parker Valves and
Manifolds
>
Work safer
As pressure
grows to comply with environmental
standards, Parker Instrumentation
has developed a new ultra-low
emission valve and manifold range
that meets the most stringent
constraints on fugitive emissions.
The ISO
15848 standard sets a requirement
for zero emissions for processes
involving volatile air pollutants
and hazardous fluids. There are
three leakage classifications
specified by the standard: A, B and
C. Meeting any of these low levels
is a challenge.
Parker
Instrumentation has solved this by
taking its high quality monoflange
and ProBloc flange-ended double
block and bleed manifolds – already
designed for minimal leak paths –
and re-engineered the integral
needle and ball valves. The valve
designs meet the highest ‘A’
classification level, over the
temperature range -29 to +180
degrees Celsius, and the standard
instrumentation manifold working
pressure.

This
combination of new techniques and
innovative seal design delivers
impressive results. For example, if
the two ball valves and one needle
valve in a 10mm bore ProBloc meeting
ISO 15848 were to leak helium at
their maximum permitted rates for
the year, the total leakage would be
16.75 cm3. That’s less that the
17.16cm3 occupied by the average
walnut…
