Well i try to explain it in a few words without going to deep into the technical details.
Ball valve with dbb. One ball block valve will isolate the upstream of medium while the other will shut off the downstream. This dbb ball valve will house two ball block valves and one ball bleed valve. For example the british valve and actuator association bvaa defines dbb as a manifold that combines one or more isolation valves usually ball valves and one or more bleed vent usually a needle style global valve into one assembly for interface with other components e g pressure measurement transmitters pressure gauges and switches. A positive seal is attained by fluid pressure act ing on the upstream surface of the ball and producing a constant uniform contact between the downstream ball seal and the.
Lately i was often asked about the difference between a floating and a trunnion ball valve. Ydb valves llp is an iso 9001 2015 certified manufacturing company in india for forged three piece body dbb valve dbb type double block and bleed ball valve. Status quo ball valves.
