Altitude Valve

Function of Altitude Valve: The function of Altitude Valve is to control the high water level in reservoirs without the need for floats or other devices. It is a non-throttling valve that remains fully open until the shut-off point is reached. This valve closes at a high water level. Water is withdrawn from the reservoir through a separate discharge line or through a check valve located in a by-pass line around the altitude valve. The valve delays opening until the water in the reservoir lowers to a desired level. The low level is adjustable from 1 to 15 feet from the high water shut-off point. This valve is hydraulically operated and pilot controlled. The pilot control operates on the differential in forces between a spring load and the water level in the reservoir. When the force of the spring is overcome by the force of the reservoir head, the pilot closes the main valve. The desired high water level is set by adjusting the spring force. The pilot control measures the reservoir head through a customer supplied sensing line connected directly to the reservoir. This valve can also be furnished with auxiliary controls to meet the need for multiple functions, such as: pressure sustaining, pressure reduction, rate of flow control, solenoid override, etc. If the check feature option is added and a pressure reversal occurs, the downstream pressure is admitted into the main valve cover chamber and the valve closes to prevent return flow.

Location of altitude valve: Used on reservoirs where water is withdrawn from the reservoir through a separate line. When the water level lowers to the desired opening point, the pilot control opens the main valve to refill the reservoir.

Pressure Relief Valve

The function of Pressure Relief Valve: The Pressure Relief Valve is a hydraulically operated, pilot-controlled, modulating valve designed to maintain constant upstream pressure within close limits. This valve can be used for pressure relief, back pressure, or unloading functions in a by-pass system. In operation, the valve is actuated by line pressure through a pilot control system, opening fast to maintain steady line pressure but closing gradually to prevent surges. Operation is completely automatic and pressure settings may be easily changed. If a check feature is added, and a pressure reversal occurs, the downstream pressure is admitted into the main valve cover chamber, closing the valve to prevent return flow.

The Location of Pressure Relief Valve: Mostly found on Water Heaters system (or heating boilers) and use to protect a system (e.g. pump, pipe segment or tank) from excessive pressure (in excess of the set point).

Pressure Sustaining Valve

The function of Pressure Sustaining valve: Pressure Sustaining valve is an automatic, pilot controlled, pressure sustaining valve, activated by the pressure of the pipeline. The valve will maintain a steady, predetermined pressure in the network, upstream of its location. Should the upstream pressure exceed the required set-point, the valve opens, increasing network flow, thus reducing its upstream pressure. If upstream pressure falls below the required value, the valve closes drip-tight. Pressure Sustaining Service When installed in a line between an upper zone and a lower area of heavy demand, the valve acts to maintain desired upstream pressure to prevent "robbing" of the upper zone. Water in excess of pressure setting is allowed to flow to an area of heavy demand, control is smooth, and pressure regulation is positive.

The location of Pressure Sustaining valve: Pressure Sustaining valve is used in the pipeline system to prevent of surpassing pressure or to keep the pressure of it, to reduce the water hammer's shock after the pump is closed and also used as a water hammer remover in the large water supply system.

The "PS" Valve maintains the minimum required pressure in elevated demand areas, when the network flow increases.

The "PS" Valve maintains a preset pressure in the pump, preventing excessive flow, cavitation, and surges throughout the system filling stage.

Constant Flow Valves

Function of Constant Flow Valves: The constant flow valves are used to maintain preset flow rate in a lines that develops primary (inlet side) or secondary (outlet side) pressure fluctuation. Requiring no control devices against pressure fluctuation, these valves contribute to savings in space and cost. Location of Constant Flow Valves: Normally use with cooling and hot water line of air conditioning systems in building and water supply lines in plants and multiple housing.
