More About Bleeder Valves
A bleeder valve works by releasing air, or gas through a valve opening to reduce the built up pressure inside a tank or remove excess air or gas in a system. The bleeder valve has a manually operated or automatic valve opening that serves as an exit point for air in a heating system, compressor or one of many other types of systems. The main functioning component is the valve itself, which is just a simple opening. Other components, such as automatic controls, pressure sensing parts, springs and levers, depend on the type of valve and system it is used on.
