Product Description
The principle of this Air Cushion Valves is to allow large quantities of air in the pumping main during separation, entrap the air, compressed it with the returning air column and expel the air under controlled pressure so as to dissipate the energy of the returning water column. An air cushion valve is thus provided

FAQs of Air cushion valves:
Q: How do air cushion valves function in pumping main separation?
A: Air cushion valves are installed on pumping mains to manage the release and intake of air during the separation process. They prevent vacuum conditions by admitting large volumes of air quickly and safely, which safeguards system components from pressure fluctuations.
Q: What are the key benefits of using air cushion valves for various media?
A: These valves can efficiently regulate the flow of different media such as gas, water, oil, base, and acid. Their compatibility with multiple substances allows use in various industries, reducing the need for separate valve types and simplifying maintenance.
Q: When should I consider installing an air cushion valve?
A: Air cushion valves should be installed when there is a risk of air accumulation or vacuum conditions in pipelines, especially during rapid changes in flow or pump separation. This is critical to maintaining uninterrupted and safe pipeline operation.
Q: Where can air cushion valves be used within industrial setups?
A: They can be installed in pumping stations, main pipelines, and any industrial environment requiring efficient air management. Their robust design suits numerous facilities across India, including water treatment plants, oil refineries, and chemical processing units.
Q: What is the process for selecting the right air cushion valve size?
A: To choose the correct size, consider the pipeline diameter, expected flow rates, and the type of media being managed. Sizes range from 50mm to 300mm, allowing for precise matching to your systems specifications.
Q: How does the color variety benefit users or installation teams?
A: Having multiple color options helps in quickly identifying specific valves during maintenance or emergency situations, enabling efficient management and reducing the time required for repairs.
