IntroductionThe Type ACE97 Pad-Depad valve is a self-contained, pilot-operated valve that maintains a blanket of inert gas on top of a stored product to protect it from atmospheric contamination. It reduces combustibility, decreases vaporization, controls vapor space pressure during pump-in and pump-out operations, and helps prevent the tank from entering a vacuum condition and collapsing upon itself. The Type ACE97 valve provides excellent and accurate pressure control of the vapor space in the tank. Blanketing pressure is kept to a minimum in order to conserve the use of blanketing gas.
Pad (Tank Blanketing) – ensures a minimum pressure is maintained in the tank vapor space during normal operation.
Depad (Vapor Recovery) – limits tank pressure to a maximum value during normal operation.
Tank and vapor recovery connections are available to meet most customer requirements. A Single Array Manifold (SAM) provides a single tank and sensing connection and is required for tanks having a single nozzle. Accessories include gauges, purge meters, pressure switches, and check valves.
Features and BenefitsPilot Controlled: Type ACE97 valves (NPS 1 / DN 25 and larger) are pilot-operated for a higher degree of accuracy and control.
Fully Balanced: A fully balanced valve eliminates setpoint changes caused by variations in inlet pressure.
Options and AccessoriesInlet Pressure Gauge: Displays pressure of blanketing gas supply to the blanketing valve.Control Pressure Gauge: Low-pressure gauge measures tank pressure.Pressure Switch: Allows for the installation of an alarm system to indicate either low or high-pressure on the tank.Flow Indicator: Provides a visual indication of blanketing gas flow.Outlet Check Valve: Prevents corrosive gases and vapors from flowing back into the blanketing system.Diagnostic Gauge: Allows analysis of valve operation in the field, simplifying service and reliability. (Only available on NPS 1 and 2 / DN 25 and 50 pad valve.)

Principle of Operation Pad (Figure 3)
NPS 1 and 2 / DN 25 and 50 Pad Valves (Figure 3)When tank pressure decreases below the pad setpoint (due to pump out operations or thermal cooling), the actuator diaphragm moves downward pushing open the pad pilot. This creates flow from the pad loading chamber to downstream. When pad loading pressure decreases, the force created by inlet pressure on the pad main valve plug overcomes the main spring force and opens the main valve plug allowing flow through the pad valve to the tank. Once tank pressure reaches pad setpoint, the pad pilot closes, pad loading pressure equalizes with inlet pressure and the pad valve closes.
NPS 1/2 / DN 15 Pad Valves (Not Shown)The NPS 1/2 / DN 15 Pad valve has a main valve only. When tank pressure decreases below the pad setpoint the actuator diaphragm
moves downward pushing the valve plug open and allowing flow through the pad valve to the tank.
Depad (Figure 4)When tank pressure increases above the depad setpoint (due to pump-in operations or thermal heating), the actuator diaphragm moves upward and pushes open the depad pilot. This releases depad loading pressure (nitrogen or other supply gas). When depad pilot loading pressure decreases, the depad main valve opens by a spring and allows flow from the tank to the vent or recovery system.
DiagnosticsTank blanketing valves are often installed in locations that are difficult to access. Type ACE97 valves are available with a diagnostics feature that allows analysis of valve operation in the field, making maintenance easier and more reliable.
The diagnostics feature relies uses relationship of pressure in the pilot and main valve chambers to analyze valve performance.

System SizingTank Blanketing systems must be properly sized to have capacity to supply enough blanketing gas to maintain the setpoint pressure, yet large enough to vent excess gas without having tank vapor space pressure rise above allowable limits. Pad valves must not be so large that they cause overpressure. Sizing must also take into account applicable codes and standards as they apply to the installation.
For proper sizing of the pad and depad valves, certain information is required. Proper sizing is essential to protect the product, the tank, the environment, and personnel.
Sizing InformationThe following list contains all necessary information to properly size a valve once system parameters are determined. The customer must provide the following:
• Pump-in rate (for depad calculation)• Pump-out rate (for pad calculation)• Inert (blanketing) gas specific gravity• Inert gas supply pressure (for pad selection)• Tank volume (for API sizing both pad and depad)• Stored fluid flash point (for API sizing depad)• Stored fluid boiling point (for API sizing depad)• Vent gas specific gravity (SG) (for API sizing depad)• Depad setpoint• Vent piping backpressure• Sizing method (Direct Displacement or API 2000)
Direct Displacement
The direct displacement method should be used with extreme caution. The direct displacement method determines the amount of blanketing gas required to replace liquid pumped out of the tank and the amount of gas that must be removed due to liquid pump in. Direct displacement does not account for fluctuating temperature or other factors that may affect pressure in the vapor space. This method is typically applied to tanks containing non-flammable, non-volatile products.
Pad Sizing Qpad = Qpump-outwhere, Qpad = Required Pad Flow Rate Qpump-out = Required Flow Rate for displacement due to
pump-out (See Table 2)
Depad Sizing Qdepad = Qpump-inwhere, Qdepad = Required Depad Flow Rate Qpump-out = Required Flow Rate for displacement due to
liquid pump-in. (See Table 2)
API 2000
The American Petroleum Institute Standard 2000 (API 2000) sizing criteria accounts for liquid pump-in and pump-out as well as contraction and expansion of tank vapors due to heating and cooling. When using API 2000 methods:
Pad Sizing Qpad = Qpump-out + Qthermalwhere, Qpad = Required Pad Flow Rate Qpump-out = Required Flow Rate for displacement due to
pump-out (See Table 5) Qthermal = Required Flow Rate due to thermal cooling
(See Table 6)
Depad Sizing Qdepad = Qpump-in + Qthermalwhere, Qpad = Required Depad Flow Rate Qpump-in = Required Pump-In Rate (See Table 5) Qthermal = Required Flow Rate due to thermal expansion
(See Table 6)
Supplemental VentingDepending on the method, there can be a significant difference in the calculated required capacity. No matter which method is used, the tank must be equipped with supplemental venting to protect the tank, product, and personnel in cases of equipment failure, fire exposure, or other conditions that could cause the tank pressure or vacuum to exceed operating limits.
Capacity Information
Pad ValvesIn the case of pad valves, the tables are based on 0.97 specific gravity nitrogen. If it is desired to convert nitrogen flow rates of another gas, multiply the flow rate value from the capacity table by the following correction factor in Table 3.
Depad ValvesIn the case of depad valves, the tables are based on air (1.0 specific gravity). Always use the differential pressure between tank pressure (depad setpoint) and vent header (vapor recovery) pressure to calculate flow through the depad valve.
