KARX – Combination Kinetic Air Release Valve

Spec Sheet: KARX – Combination Kinetic Air Release Valve

Functions:

1. Large air release during the filling of the pipeline.

2. Small air release under a pressurized pipeline.

3. Large air intake during draining of the pipeline.

Description

KARX – Combination Kinetic Air Release Valve

Features:

Advanced design with a simple mechanism, strong float to prevent cracking during sudden water hammer & quick closure.

Aerokinetic mechanism to resist blow shut under higher air velocity even up to a sonic air velocity.

For the potential water hammer location or transmission pipeline, we should use an anti-shock combination air valve to prevent damage or impact of severe water hammer.

An anti-shock device is installed on top of the bonnet, It will slow down the exhausting air flow out during filling to prevent hammer impact, whenever a vacuum happens, the device will drop down and let Large air into the pipeline.

There are no arms or levers to prevent vibrating, bending, or direct closure of the float.

Smooth cage outside the float, keep the float moving in the specified guide rail.

Bottom rubber buffer for collision prevention, and drain easily with proper holes around the cage during vacuum

Outside screens will be an option for safety and to prevent insects or birds.

Fully fusion epoxy coated inside and outside valve body for long-term services.
