Air Relief Valves

General

The quality demands of hydraulic networks constructors, as well as GEMAK's target to offer products of high quality and technology, lead to the study and manufacture of this new type air relief valve. It is a combination of a kinetic and automatic air relief valve.

Simple, with only one chamber, much more lighter than the already existed, easy to use and with a perfect performance, secures an absolute balance and a steady operation of the network.

Air could be helpful in cases of high depression or during the evacuation of the line from water, but it causes many problems when entrapped into the piping of the system.

The entrapped air into the systems of the water distribution,

  • Causes decrease of the flow, loss of pressure and in cases of low pressure, total flow break.
  • Accelerates the corrosion of the piping system.
  • Is the cause of inaccuracies of the flow meters.
  • Causes breaks to the pipes during the over pressure due to hammer-shock.
  • Increases the cavitation risks.
  • Causes abrupt changes to the pressure with damaging results.

Applications

  • Water supply, Irrigation, Pumpstations.
  • Sewage networks
