AUTOMATIC CONTROL VALVES

XLC 380/480 PN 16/25

Excess flow automatic control valve

The CSA Model XLC 380/480 is a globe pattern hydraulically operated automatic control valve that senses the increase in flow above a pre-set and adjustable value of a high sensitivity pilot, diverting the upstream pressure to the main control chamber and causing a complete closure, to be manually reset after that. As long as the flow rate remains below the set point, the valve will remain fully open minimizing head loss.

Applications
• Installed at the reservoir outlet to interrupt the water supply in case of sudden and excessive increase of flow caused by pipe break, unwanted and unexpected emergencies whose demand would depressurize the system.
• To protect a gravity line or main transmission pipe, in absence of SCADA and flow measurements, from possible negative pressure conditions coming from pipe burst and unauthorized water consumption.
