KAR5 – Adjustable Anti-Shock Combination Kinetic Air Release Valve
KAR5 – Adjustable Anti-Shock Combination Kinetic Air Release Valve
Spec Sheet: KAR5 – Adjustable Anti-Shock Combination Kinetic Air Release Valve
Functions:
1. Large air release during the filling of the pipeline.
2. Small air release under a pressurized pipeline.
3. Large air intake during draining of the pipeline.
4. Restrict Air Exhausting Volume to prevent Water Hammer when air delta P reaches setting pressure.
5. Adjust the anti-shock working pressure from 0.1- 0.3 bar based on field working conditions
Description
KAR5 – Adjustable Anti-Shock Combination Kinetic Air Release Valve
Features:
• Advanced design with a simple mechanism, strong float to prevent cracking during sudden water hammer & quick closure.
• Aerokinetic mechanism to resist blow shut under higher air velocity even up to a sonic air velocity.
• For the potential water hammer location or transmission pipeline, we should use an anti-shock combination air valve to prevent damage or impact of severe water hammer.
• An anti-shock device is installed on top of the bonnet, It will slow down the exhausting air flow out during filling to prevent hammer impact, whenever a vacuum happens, the device will drop down and let Large air into the pipeline.
• There are no arms or levers to prevent vibrating, bending, or direct closure of the float.
• Smooth cage outside the float, keep the float moving in the specified guide rail.
• Bottom rubber buffer for collision prevention, and drain easily with proper holes around the cage during vacuum
• Outside screens will be an option for safety and to prevent insects or birds.
• Fully fusion epoxy coated inside and outside valve body for long-term services.
• Manufacturing standard meets or exceeds BS EN 1074-4, AWWA C512
• Flange drilling and dimension meets BS EN 1092 BS EN 558 and ANSI flange.
General Application:
For water systems, fire fighting, irrigation systems
