■Air valve
Intake and exhaust to smooth the flow of liquid in the piping.
■Features
・Air valves are also called automatic exhaust valves or automatic air bleed valves, and are installed in high places on piping or equipment, and are used for the following purposes.
・The M1600 type air valve is a highly reliable air valve that operates reliably from low pressure to high pressure, and is used in many fields such as chemical factories, water purification plants, water treatment plants, and seawater applications.
・It does not cause unpleasant water stains or rust, and is lightweight and easy to handle, so please use it instead of cast iron air valves.
■Pressure exhaust function
・Gas and air accumulate in liquids inside piping and equipment due to changes in pressure and temperature, or chemical decomposition.
-Air may also accumulate during the operation of valves and equipment, or from small gaps in pipe fittings.
・Air valves are installed in high places such as high and low piping, equipment, equipment, etc. Automatically exhausts air or gas during operation under pressure, and immediately closes off the flow of liquid when the exhaust is finished.
・Using the operating principle of an air valve, it is also used for recovering separated gas in chemical blunts and water treatment plants.
■Exhaust function during initial water flow
An air valve installed at a high location serves as an escape port for air when filling liquid inside piping or equipment, and immediately shuts off the outflow of liquid when the pipe or equipment is filled with water.
■Intake function when draining water
Air valves installed at high places act as air inlets when removing water from pipes or equipment, and can also be used to prevent vacuums and siphons.
■Packing
Packing is also available in FKM, PTFE, etc. by special order.
■Others
・The standard float ball is ebonite.
・The standard exhaust outlet has a Φ6 hole opening sideways and is open to the atmosphere, but we can also manufacture screw-in flange types by special order.
■Caution
The M1600 type molded air valve is designed primarily for the exhaust function under pressure, and since the exhaust port is small, it has the function of early water flow mass exhaust, such as the MH2600 type rapid air valve and the FS2600 type initial rapid air valve. Please consider.
