SCHROEDER automatic recirculation valves (ARC) for minimum flow to protect centrifugal pumps. To ensure minimum flow through the pump during operation at low flows.
Also called minimum flow valves, ARC valves, YARWAY valves. This is the solution recommended by top pump manufacturers: FLOWSERVE, SULZER, KSB, WEIR.
They have 4 automatic functions: main flow check valve / minimum flow measurement / pressure reduction / bypass.
Modulating service. Energy saving. Improves the installation’s NPSH.
Independent mechanical operation. No associated instrumentation required. Easy installation and maintenance.
We have models that include pilot operation, suitable for pressures up to 400 bar.
As an alternative to automatic valves, we provide minimum flow control valves, also known as leak-off valves.
