Yarway 5300 Series ARC® Valve

For Centrifugal Pump Protection

The 5300 Series Automatic Recirculation Control

ARC® valve performs four separate functions within
the pumping circuit, all within one compact body.

Features
• Saves Power Costs
- Eliminates the need for continuous
recirculation to cool the pump.
• Saves System Engineering Time
- Includes reverse flow prevention,
low flow detection, recirculation
flow control, and recirculation flow
pressure reduction.
- Eliminates multiple vendor
complexities associated with
systems combining various
pneumatic, thermal and mechanical
components.
• Saves Installation and Maintenance
Costs
- Needs no electrical wiring, plant
or instrument air.
- Eliminates other components of a
conventional system.
- Eliminates multiple pressure
reducing orifices and capillary
tubes.
- Eliminates duplication created by
two control valves in a series – one
for pressure reduction and one
for tight shut-off.
• Reduces Downtime
- Minimizes the problems of high
velocity wiredrawing and cavitation
erosion common to high pressure
drop service.

Sizes
• 3" to 12" main discharge feed.
• 1" to 3" recirculation discharge.
• Flanged or Butt Welding
end connections.

Pressures
• Classes 600, 900, 1500, 2500.

Temperature Limitations
• 500°F

It actually performs four separate To process

functions within the pumping circuit – all Flow meter
within one compact body. Essentially,
the 5300 ARC® valve is a check valve
installed in the main line. But it also acts
as the sensing and powering element Gate or Check

which pilots the operation of a
recirculation control valve. The sensing Pump Sensing orifice
system responds to changes in flow
rather than pressure.
The control valve incorporates a
pressure reducing device that divides

 Yarway 5300 Series ARC® Valve
For Centrifugal Pump Protection

How it Works

The ARC® valve is installed in the pump
discharge line in the position of the main
check valve it replaces. It is adaptable
to horizontal or vertical piping and to
either horizontal or vertical upward flow.
Flanged or welded ends are optional
to suit specifications.
Decreasing flow through the valve
causes the spring loaded disc to move
toward its seat. At a flow rate determined
by the minimum flow requirement
through the pump, the disc triggers the
pilot valve through the lever. This vents
the pressure on the head of the piston.
Pressure acting on the opposite side
of the piston opens the bypass valve,
permitting flow through the multi-stage
cascade element. The flow rate through
the bypass valve is equal to the minimum
flow requirement of the pump. The
directional changes of the successive
helical flutes, as well as the multiple
orifices, provide for the absorption of
pressure energy.
The bypass valve will remain in an open
position as long as the pilot valve is open.
This corresponds with the position the
disc assumes at flow rates between an
established low flow and no flow through
the main check valve. As the flow rate
exceeds the minimum flow rate, the
rising disc allows the pilot valve to
close; pressure entering the chamber
over the piston through the annular
clearance around the pilot.

 Yarway 5300 Series ARC® Valve
For Centrifugal Pump Protection

Hydraulic Performance Test Lab

Performance – Profiled in Yarway’s Hydraulic Performance Test Lab

In our hydraulic performance test laboratory, state-of-the-art data acquisition and
computer graphics techniques are called upon for evaluation of the significant performance
characteristics of Yarway recirculation control valves. The lab’s equipment makes it
possible to test a valve over its complete flow range for factors including:
• Total flow through the pump
• Disc position
• Pressure drop across the main check
• Bypass Cv
• Bypass ΔP
• Valve response to sudden changes in flow
• Bypass piston pressure
These detailed analyses are the user’s complete assurance that the valve meets
performance requirements in all respects and can be supplied with the valve.
A certified test curve is shipped with each valve (see page 10 for example).
Insist on it, as you would for your pump!
