VORTEX DIFFERENTIAL PRODucT INFO
Vortex Differential valves are ideal for use in water tanks which are filled by a pressure system controlled water pump. The valve gives a level difference which is adjustable from 50mm to 2.5m to minimise starting and stopping of the pumping system.
Description
Principle of Operation• The valve should be mounted at the top of the tank using a threaded tank inlet fitting.
• As the tank empties the weighted float travels down the cord until it hits the bottom stop. The valve then opens immediately to give a full flow.
• The valve now runs constantly and the weighted float rises until it hits the upper float stop. This lifts the arm and the valve shuts down.
• Observe the pressure that your pump runs at while the tank is filling. Set the pres sure switch to turn the pump off at least one bar above the running pressure.
Pressure Range1 Bar – 10 Bar (15psi-150 psi)
ApplicationsMaintaining Water Levels in:• Water Storage Tanks• Water Cisterns• Irrigation Applications
Features• High flow• Easily adjustable water level differentials between on and off (50mm - 2.5 m differentials obtainable).• Reduces pump operation to a mininum.• Valve unscrews from tail for easy Valve Access.• Ideal for all makes and models of tanks.
