The Aqua Environment model 907 unloading valve uses a low control pressure to shut off a high pressure line such as on the discharge of a compressor. When control pressure is released, the valve opens. A minimum of 70 psi control pressure is required to operate the valve at 6000 psi. Control pressures up to 5000 psi can be used without affecting operation or damaging a valve. One application for the valve is to unload a compressor upon shutdown. Interstage pressure could be used as the control pressure. Also works on automatic condensate drains for compressor separators, like the Coltri MCH6.
