LB78 Dump Valve

The LB78 Dump Valve enables exhaled gases to be expelled at an ambient pressure level lower than that of breathing. It is used specially for evacuating to the outside of an hyperbaric chamber the oxygen rich mixtures breathed during decompression or therapeutic treatments.This prevents oxygen build-up in the atmosphere of the chamber, thus minimising fire risks.

The overpressure created by the expiration operates a diaphragm which, in turn, opens a large diameter fully balanced exhaust valve.
A large gas flow is thus obtainable with a minimum driving overpressure.
It is equipped with a safety valve which prevents any dangerous pressure-drop in the breathing circuit, in the event of the main valve leaking.

Description:
The LB 78 oxygen dump-valve features a circular housing made of medical POM-C easy to clean.
The stainless steel threaded locking ring gives quick access to the diaphragm to ease cleaning and periodic maintenance.
