SchuF Automatic Recirculation Valve

One Valve, Many Functions. An automatic recirculation valve encompasses all of the hardware required in a conventional bypass system in a single housing.

Product features

  • Protects the business investment in critical pump equipment
  • Saves power costs by eliminating the need for continuous recirculation to cool the pump
  • Includes reverse flow protection
  • Avoids additional investment in pressure reduction equipment
  • Needs no electrical wiring, plant or instrument air
  • Reduces downtime – and is easy to maintain

Description

Minimum Flow or Automatic Recirculation Valves automatically protect centrifugal pumps during low load operation. As the pump’s load drops below a preset flow rate, the valve’s disc moves towards its seat and causes the bypass bush to open a bypass flow path. The pump minimum flow rate is thus reached and maintained.1 inch (DN 25) to 10 inch (DN 250) pumps and up to ASME 2500# pressure class. Other options on demand.
