Abstract
An air valve includes a valve body and a disc configured to engage a seat. An inlet port is upstream from the seat, and an outlet port is downstream from the seat. A stern is connected to the disc, and a piston is connected to the stern, wherein the piston has first and second positions. A chamber is defined at least in part by the piston and the valve body. A clearance between the valve body and the stem has a first cross-sectional area. One or more relief ports provide fluid communication from the chamber through the valve body and have a combined second cross-sectional area that is greater than or equal to the first cross-sectional area. A method for refurbishing the air valve, as previously described, includes increasing the second cross-sectional area greater than or equal to the first cross-sectional area.
