Functions:
• This valve is designed to protect pumps, pumping equipment and all applicable pipelines from dangerous pressure surges caused by rapid changes of flow velocity within a pipeline.
Sample applications:
• The abrupt stopping of a pump could cause dangerous surges in the system with a down surge in pressure, followed by an up surge in pressure. The surge control valve opens on the initial low pressure wave, diverting the returning high pressure wave from the system. In effect, the valve has anticipated the returning high pressure wave and is open to dissipate the damage causing surge. The valve will then close slowly without generating any further pressure surges.
Good to know! Complete ACV range offers pilots in stainless-steel as a standard.
