PRODUCT INFORMATION
Bermad IR-430-55 Pressure Relief/Sustaining Valve
The Bermad Model IR-430-55 is a hydraulically operated, diaphragm actuated control valve that can fulfill either of two separate functions. When installed in-line, it sustains minimum preset upstream (back) pressure; alternatively, when installed as a relief or circulation valve, it relieves line pressure in excess of preset. The Bermad Model IR-430-55 either opens or shuts in response to an electric signal.

TECHINCAL DATA
The Needle Valve continuously allows line pressure into the Control Chamber. The Pressure Relief/Sustaining Pilot which senses Upstream Pressure and the Solenoid, together control outflow from the control chamber. The pilot throttles when drops below setting*. Pressure then accumulates in the control chamber causing the Valve to throttle closed maintaining at pilot setting, and eventually closing drip-tight. The pilot releases accumulated pressure when rises above setting, thereby causing the Valve to modulate open. Closing the solenoid shuts off the Valve.
