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. |

SPECIAL FEATURES : |
|
|
|
- Large aero-dynamic flow passages ensuring quick entry of large volumes of air.
- Resilient seat fixed into the Valve Body giving drop-tight shut-off during normal operation.
- Critically balanced dashpot, cwt & disc assemblies ensuring that with slightest hint of vacuum formation in the pipeline, the disc opens to allow entry of large volume of air.
- Sturdy, robust cast construction of the valve body & disc. Body provided with swirl busting ribs.
- Non-Ferrous liner bush bearings provided for shaft & pins at all rubbing joints. This minimizes friction, enhances the availability of the valve & increases its service life.
