Do AP valves have any plans for a CE rated BOV?

Another advantage of a BOV over open loop- at least on a Meg: Picture yourself w/ a totally flooded canister/ loop. While you just might- depending on reason for flood- be able to purge enough water to breath open loop, it would not happen quickly if your OPV was not closed down reasonably tight. If flood was caused by loss of loop integrity, you’re hosed (pun intended

).

Good point. Would give you time to deploy bailout reg without holding your breath...
