The Model 840 High Pressure, Booster Pump Control Valve is a hydraulically operated, piston actuated active check valve that opens fully or shuts off in response to electric signals. It isolates the pump from the system during pump starting and stopping, to prevent pipeline surges.

TYPICAL PRODUCT APPLICATIONS
Typical Applications
In this system, a pump battery supplies the main line through a manifold. The Model 840, installed downstream from each pump:
Prevents surge generation rather than minimizing surge damage
Provides surge free starting and stopping of supplementary pumps
Allows surge free switching between “on-duty” pumps
Delays reaction for variable speed primary pump to single speed supplementary pump going on line or off line
