Accumulated air can cause catastrophes to the pipeline systems. Generation of vacuum leads to pipeline implosion or pressure transients. The preventive course is use of efficient Air Release valves & use of Anti-Vacuum Valves at the critical locations of the pipeline that are prone to vacuum generation. The R & D Multiple’s Anti- Vacuum valves are designed & manufactured to be extremely responsive & sensitive to the pressure decrease in the line. They instantly allow the entry of sufficient quantity of air at the slight hint of the inception of vacuum & preclude the possibility of vacuum build–up.
SALIENT FEATURES :
Size range: 150 to 400mm. Pressure ratings: PN10 PN16 & PN24.
Material Options: C.I., S.G.I., C.S. (WCB) for Body & Cover, Bronze Dashpot & Seat Ring & Guide Bushes & SS Shaft, Pins, Links & levers.
Hydraulic Dashpot arrangement to eliminate slam in closing of the AVV.
Externally adjustable Counter-weight arrangement to set the closing torque.
Large cowl type covered valve body eliminating any possibility of internal assembly being tampered-with.
Provision for mounting of an isolating sluice valve & Air Release valve on the body of the AVV is given.
