Air valve type VENTEX SR (without isolating system) - Standard
version
The Ventex SR air valves are without shutter gasket.
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 Ventex SR air valves are without shutter gasket. They are less bulky and easier to handle. They therefore do not include isolating system.
The air valves are in conformance with EN 1074-4 and have a certificate of sanitary conformity.
Warning: in order to allow the maintenance, the air valves must be installed with a concentric butterfly valve Lug type or an isolating valve Euro 20 type between the network and the air valve.
Range
Air Valves Type VENTEX SR exist in a range stretching from DN50 to 200, for pressure PFA10, PFA16 and PFA25.

Features
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.

Performances
Water flow in case of break
Examples of use: for a main DN600 laid inclined 4mm/m flow water around 1800 m3/h , flow which will not create a depression higher than 0,3b according to graph air flow large orifice below
Air flow large orifice
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)
Nozzle air flow
Constant Flow from 1 bar (10MCE)
