Combination Air Release Valve: Optimizing System Performance
The Combination Air Release Valve is an innovative solution designed to enhance the efficiency and safety of fluid systems. This valve integrates the functions of both Air/Vacuum and Air Release Valves, ensuring optimal air management during system start-up, operation, and shut-down.
Dynamic Functionality
During system start-up, the valve expels large volumes of air, preventing pressure surges and potential damage. Conversely, it admits air during shut-down, safeguarding against vacuum conditions. Continuously throughout operation, it releases air to maintain system efficiency and stability.
Advanced Design Features
Engineered with a leak-proof seal effective under all conditions, the valve guarantees reliable performance even at low system pressures. Its aerodynamic float design ensures rapid airflow, closing only when water reaches the valve, thus preventing premature shut-off and potential system surge.
Installation Flexibility and Maintenance
Equipped with a threaded outlet elbow, the valve offers versatile drain connection options, facilitating seamless integration into various system configurations. Its straightforward design comprises minimal parts, simplifying maintenance and ensuring long-term serviceability.
Technical Specifications
Operating across a pressure range from 0.1 bar (1.5 psi) to 16 bar (230 psi), the valve is capable of handling continuous operation temperatures up to 60°C (140°F) and intermittent peaks up to 80°C (175°F). Available in multiple sizes, including 1/2”, 3/4”, 1”, and 2” BSP or NPT threaded bases, catering to diverse system requirements.
Material and Capacity
The valve’s GRP (UV-resistant) cover and base offer durability and resistance to environmental elements. Its internal parts feature corrosion-resistant plastic materials and synthetic rubber, ensuring longevity and consistent performance. Notably, the 2” valve can discharge up to 260 m³/h of air, and the 1” valve up to 60 m³/h, demonstrating significant air handling capacity.
The Combination Air Release Valve is essential for any fluid handling system, ensuring efficient operation and protection against pressure-related issues. Its innovative design, robust materials and significant air discharge capabilities make it a vital addition to maintaining system health and efficiency.
