Gate Valves
•
No thermal pressure relief, only bleed function
•
Seat wearing increase – frequent maintenance intervals
•
Large installation space required
•
Two actuators, two input/output signal needed to operate the valves
•
Two valves, more joints, higher maintenance costs
Ball Valves
•
No thermal pressure relief, only bleed function
•
Seat deterioration due to abrasion increase maintenance intervals
•
Large installation space required
•
Two actuators, two input/output signal needed to operate the valves
