PRODUCT INFORMATION

Bermad IR-435 Surge Anticipation valve

The Bermad 435 Surge Anticipation Valve is used in irrigation pump stations as a fast-acting pressure relief valve in the event of power failure. The valve features dual functions to relieve pressure under high-pressure conditions, and to open rapidly on a low-pressure condition on pump stoppage, or power failure of the motor pump.

FEATURES & BENEFITS

The model No 435 Surge Anticipation Valve is an off line , hydraulically operated diaphragm actuated control valve. The valve sensing the line pressure, opens in response to the pressure drop associated with the rapid pump stoppage. The pre opened valve dissipates the returning high pressure wave, eliminating the surge. The model 435 closes drip tight as quickly as the relief feature allows, while preventing closing surge. The valve also acts as a quick pressure relief valve responding to sudden increases in the line pressure.
