The main valve is a hydraulically operating diaphragm valve. The work energy is the inherent medium.
Most valve types operate purely hydraulically without any foreign energy.
Application
To use in drinking water systems (other media after consultation)
Level control in a reservoir or pressure–breaking shaft
Level control in an equalising basin
Mode of operation
The open/close valve with float protection mechanically/hydraulically regulates the water inflow in a reservoir by means of a float solenoid valve and float bulbs. The closing speed can be adjusted by means of a throttle non–return valve to prevent surges in pressure.
At inlet pressures less than 1.5 bar and more than 4 bar consultation is to be kept.
Product information
To calculate the dimensions of the valve please refer to the following information:
Maximum and minimum inlet pressure (static and dynamic pressure ratios)
Existing counterpressure of the reservoir
Required flow rate
Available line diameters and lengths
Construction of the valve (straight or angle design)
Minimum and maximum water level (as standard between 100 and 900 mm can be adjusted using stops, greater water level differences on request)
For the calculation basis, information on the loss of pressure and the characteristic values of the valve, please refer to the end of Chapter E.
