Air Flow output by large orifice in m3/h (with the
pressure of main: air flow = water flow) - Air Flow input by
large orifice in m3/h (with the pressure of main: air flow =
water flow)
Air valve type VENTEX - SRI LANKA version
| The air valves protect the main: The device evacuates great air amounts during the filling of the main: - allows the inlet of great air amounts (in order to avoid a vacuum effect) during the emptying of the main - evacuates small air amounts that are accumulated in the high points of the main during normal working conditions The air valves are in conformance with EN 1074-4 and have a certificate of sanitary conformity. |
Range
Air Valves Type VENTEX exist in a range stretching from DN50 to 200, for pressure PFA10, PFA16 and PFA25.
Fast choice of Ventex
Allows during the emptying of the main with a speed 1m/s
Main | DN ≤ 250 | DN300-600 | DN700-900 | DN1000-1200 | DN1200-1800 |
Air Valve | DN50, 60, 65 | DN80,100 | DN150 | DN200 | 2 DN200 |
This Ventex choice allows, in case of break main, to limit maximal pressure drop 0,3 Bar for a flow rate with a part full gravity pipeline on a given slope: See paragraph Performances.
