Automatic Circulation Valve Data Sheet PDF
Automatic Circulation Valve Data Sheet PDF
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
Discharge Nozzle
provides back pressure
for fluid condition
control.
Cascade Piston
dissipates energy of high
pressure discharge.
Pilot Valve
activates cascade element.

How to Order
Our sales representatives will help you select the correct valve for your application.
Please complete this form before contacting the sales office to help ensure all necessary information is provided.
Comments:
Flow tests are generally conducted on all model 5300 and 7100 ARC® valves and one model 9100 or 9200 ARC® valve per sales order line item at no additional cost.
Model 9300 ARC® valves and other flow test requirements are upon request and at additional cost. If flange drilling is other than ANSI, please specify in “Comments.”
Please include Pump Curve if available.
