Surge Anticipating Valve K1 40
- Booster & deep weel, single & Variable speed
- Eliminates surge in all distribution network
Application
The surge-anticipating valve is designed to protect pumping stations against surges caused by pump stops on power failure, as well as overpressures during normal running of the pumps
Description
Valve is hydraulically operated, diaphragm operated and do not rely on any power supply installed in derivation of the discharge pipe and evacuates to atsmosphere or pump inlet.
Operation
The pressure is measured via a sensing line. When the pressure drop due to the sudden pump stop is measured, the Surge antici-pating Valve starts to open, in order to dissipate the returning high pressure wave and discharging the excessive pressure (surge). This anticipation process allows an immediate of the returning surge.
Installation
The valve is installed in derivation (off-line) valve opens quickly on low pressure wave due to pumps stop, and remains open until retutn of high pressure wave which is diverted to atsmosphere.
Close slowly without causing secondary surges
