SERIES 118/108SA

SURGE ANTICIPATION VALVE SERIES

The OCV Series118/108SA surge anticipation valves are designed to be installed in a bypass line and provide protection against damaging surges that can occur in pumping systems when a pump is suddenly stopped.  Unlike conventional relief valves, which open only when a high pressure wave hits, surge anticipation valves sense the precursor of the high pressure wave (pump power failure or low pressure wave) and opens in anticipation of the returning high pressure wave that follows. By opening, the valve prevents the buildup of pressure before it occurs.

FEATURES

Electro-hydraulic Series 118

  • Electrical power connection to pumping system for opening on loss of power or on a pressure switch low pressure signal.
  • Valve closes after (adjustable) predetermined time on power failure or low pressure opening.
  • Hydraulic, pilot operated, high pressure relief opening.
  • Available with Surge Commander electronics package (Model 118-4).

Hydraulic Model 108SA-3

  • No electrical requirements.
  • Low pressure opening pilot.
  • High pressure relief pilot.
