The unique pilot valve operation exhibits excellent constant flow characteristics.
|
|
Variable constant flow rate regulating function may be added for flow rate
control over a wide range, allowing effective use and stable supply of
water (optional).
|
|
The pilot valve does not have any minute, fixed restriction passage like
a needle valve, and is therefore clog-resistant.
And, even if clogging by foreign material occurs, the built-in self-cleaning
mechanism causes the clogged valve part to open automatically to remove
the foreign material.
|
|
Due to its simple construction, troublesome adjustments are unnecessary.
Being excellent in durability and practically maintenance-free, using this
valve reduces maintenance costs.

1.
|
An orifice is provided at the inlet side of the valve, and differential
pressure (P1-P1') that arises between the front and the rear of the orifice due to the
flow rate fluctuation drives the pilot valve, thereby opening and closing
the main valve and maintaining the set flow rate.
|
2.
|
The pilot valve operates in the same manner as in the Constant Pressure
Valve, with intermediate pressure Pe being formed by the actions of pilot A valve and pilot B valve. This intermediate
pressure is transmitted to the top of the main valve for automatic adjustment
of the main valve opening.
|
3.
|
The set flow rate can be finely adjusted with the coil spring of the pilot
valve. If flow rate control over a wide range is required, a butterfly
valve or other flow rate adjustment valve (optional) may be installed in
place of the fixed orifice.

Selection chart/Outer dimensions
If required bore size is 600mm or less, a direct-operation type constant
flow regulator valve that operates without a pilot valve is also available
and is generally more economical.
