Patent abstract
A method for determining the seal integrity of a four way valve includes tracking a fluid line pressure in a fluid line that is in fluid communication with the inlet of the four way valve, with a line pressure transmitter. A body cavity pressure in a body cavity of the four way valve can be tracked with a body cavity pressure transmitter. The body cavity is a space within the valve body outside of the valve plug. The four way valve can be insulated with a thermal insulation that reduces the effect of an ambient temperature on the body cavity pressure. A valve body temperature can be monitored with a valve body temperature transmitter.
