Unox Float Level Control Valve
What is a Level Control Valve?
Float level control valves are hydraulic control valves used to regulate the water level in storage structures such as water tanks, reservoirs, and pressure-reducing stations in transmission lines. For the main valve to open and close properly, a minimum water pressure of 7 meters in the existing network is required.
Features of Float Level Control Valve
-
Its simple design makes it very user-friendly.
-
The valve’s electric float is modular and can be easily installed on the structure where level control is needed.
-
The electric float allows easy adjustment of the desired level control range.
-
A simple control device is located between the main valve and the electric float.
-
The ball valve on the main valve allows manual control of the open-close function.
-
The valve operates fully hydraulically with line pressure without requiring extra energy.
Instructions for Using the Level Control Valve
-
Install the valve according to the flow direction indicated by the arrow on the valve.
-
For ease of service and maintenance, it is recommended to install isolation valves (gate, butterfly, or ball valves) on the inlet side to shut off the water in the line.
-
To ensure efficient operation, it is recommended to install an air vent before the valve.
-
Connect the electric float and solenoid valve on the main valve to the control device according to the voltage ratings.
-
If connected correctly to the control unit, the valve will operate in automatic mode.
-
Control valves perform open-close functions using system pressure. If the system pressure is near zero during tank filling, the valve will not operate. Check the inlet pressure value of the valve.
-
To operate the valve manually, use the drain ball valve marked as 3. For automatic operation, the ball valve should remain closed.
-
During winter, to prevent freezing, drain the water from the actuator to the atmosphere.
