An increase in air pressure to the actuator is required to cause the valve to open. This is called Air-to-Open Valve. Otherwise normally called Fail-Closed or Normally Closed Valve.
An increase in air pressure to the actuator is required to cause the valve to close. This is called Air-to-Close Valve. Otherwise normally called Fail-Open or Normally Open Valve.
Another way of looking at these definitions are:
When air is given from the bottom of the diaphragm, the stem will go up and flow enters from the input and flows to the output. This is called Air-to-Open.
When air is given from the top side of the diaphragm, the stem will go down and the stem will close the plug into the seat, meaning that the flow would be shut-off and the valve will be closed.
Basically, you need air to either open or close the valve to allow your flow to proceed or shut.

Why the energy losses in globe valve due to the fully open valve is greater than losses of gate valve?
Simple globe valves are not positive shut of and are used strictly for throttling thus they have a very high friction loss=Gate valves are either fully open of fully closed NORMALLY FULL PORT OPENING=
If the air intake for your air conditioner has a few places that are open to the space between the first floor ceiling and the 2nd floor should you close this off or is it okay to leave it open?
Hi, It is not ok to leave them open to suck in unflitered air and upset the air balance of your system. It is not something that has to be fixed immediately, but it needs to be fixed. It is an important task to be accomplished but not urgent. Do not repair with duct tape! Duct tape is not for air ducts. Use the correct material and masticks for the repair. If not certain what to use ask at your local hardware supply store. Check and replace filters at the airhandler because they are probably filthy dirty. Check and replace as needed air return filters while you are at it! Barry
What causes error code P505?
Error code P0505 typically indicates a fault with the idle air control system. This could be due to a faulty idle air control valve, a vacuum leak, or a problem with the throttle body. It is recommended to have the system inspected by a mechanic to diagnose and repair the issue.
What is an redundant gas valve.?
A redundant gas valve is a safety feature in a gas system where two valves are installed in series to ensure that gas flow can be shut off if one valve fails. This redundancy helps prevent gas leaks and potential hazards.
What is meant by suspended assumptions?
Suspended assumptions refer to temporarily setting aside or putting on hold certain beliefs or preconceived notions when exploring new ideas or perspectives. It can help individuals approach a situation with an open mind and evaluate different possibilities without being constrained by previous assumptions.
What color is the flame when the air valve is open?
yellow when fully open if on a bunson burner
How do you play g on a trumpet?
open valve, fast air
How do you properly air a Presta valve?
To properly air a Presta valve, first unscrew the top nut to open the valve. Attach the pump nozzle securely to the valve. Pump air into the tire until it reaches the desired pressure. Close the valve by screwing the top nut back on.
How do you put air in a Presta valve?
To put air in a Presta valve, first unscrew the top nut to open the valve. Then, use a pump with a Presta valve adapter to inflate the tire. Once inflated, tighten the top nut to close the valve.
What is the parachute valve cord for in a hot air balloon?
The parachute valve cord in a hot air balloon is used to control the opening and closing of the parachute valve at the top of the envelope. This valve helps release hot air to control the altitude of the balloon by allowing the air to escape. The cord is pulled to open the valve, releasing hot air, and released to close it.
When is a Schrader valve able to open?
A Schrader valve is able to open when it is pressed down by an external force, such as a pump or a tool, allowing air or gas to flow through it.
What does the idle air control valve do?
An idle air control valve (iac) allows the flow of air into the intake to be mixed with fuel while the vehicle is at an idle. when you open the throttle the valve does not need to work because the air is coming from the air box hence the name idle air control
What is the difference between an air bleed valve and a pressure relief valve on a boiler?
They serve two different purposes. An air bleed valve is used to remove air from the circulation system. A pressure relief valve is designed to automatically open when certain pressure levels are reached.
How does a self inflating camp mattress inflate itself?
The self-inflating ones are inflated by opening a valve which leads to an air bag that has a piece of foam inside it. With the open valve, the foam is able to suck air into itself so it can go back to its normal size. Air is also sucked into the other areas of the air bag. When the valve is close and you lay on the mattress, the air tries to escape the foam but it can't. This makes it just like an air mattress or sleeping on foam. To deflate it you open the valve and start rolling it up from the other end. This squashes the foam and all the air can escape through the open valve.
When do the intake valves of an engine open?
A intake valve open when the piston reaches the top of the cylinder and just after the exhaust valve closes. It allow fuel and air to enter the engine cylinder.
What is the function of the inlet and outlet valve in ic engine?
Inlet valve is open when piston moves from top dead center to bottom dead center inlet valve open and provide proper amount of fuel and air to the cylinder.
How do you properly fill a presta valve with air?
To properly fill a presta valve with air, first unscrew the top nut to open the valve. Then, attach the pump nozzle securely onto the valve. Pump air into the tire until it reaches the desired pressure. Finally, remove the pump nozzle and tighten the top nut to close the valve.
