S-050 PVDF | Automatic Air Release Valve for Industry
Description
The S-050 PVDF series Automatic Air Release Valve releases accumulated air from the system while it is under pressure. The presence of air in a liquid transmission system can reduce the effective cross sectional flow area resulting in increased head loss and deceased flow. Unwanted air may also cause water hammer and metering inaccuracies, while hastening corrosion. In spite of its compact and light weight structure, the S-050 series Automatic Air Release Valve has a 12mm² orifice that enables it to release air at high flow rates.
Main Features
- Working pressure range: 0.2 - 16 bar
- Test pressure for the air valve is 1.5 times its working pressure.
- Maximum working temperature: 60° C.
- Maximum intermittent temperature: 90° C.
Note: For applications requiring a working temperature above the maximum stated or below 50 C., please consult first with the A.R.I. Applications Engineering Dept.
- The body is made of high strength composite materials and all operating parts are made of specially selected corrosion- resistant materials.
- The large orifice enables air release at higher flow rates.
- The enlarged orifice is less exposed to obstruction by debris.
- The valve’s rolling seal mechanism design is less sensitive to different pressures than a direct float seal, thus enabling a one size orifice for a wide pressure range (from 0.2 up to 16 bar).
- Lightweight, simple and reliable structure.
- A discharge outlet enables connection of a vent/drain pipe.
Valve Selection
- Available in male threaded sizes: 1/2”, 3/4”, 1” - BSP / NPT
- S-050 PVDF V Vacuum check valve - Available as a valve that will only release air from the system and will not admit air to the system when negative pressure conditions occur. This characteristic is obtained by adding a check valve to the air outlet.
Note
For best suitability, it is recommended to send the fluid chemical properties along with the valve request.
Upon ordering, please specify: model, size, working pressure, thread and flange standard and type of liquid.
