Applications Summary
Mining View PDF
- Gland water flow control to gland-packing/stuffing box and mechanical seals of centrifugal and slurry pumps
- For water treatment, process water control, fire fighting, safety showers, centrifugal pump protection & dust suppression
Water Authorities View PDF
- Flow limiting, for non-payment of water bills, boosting mains pressure
- Extending water meter life
- Enabling economical distribution to rural, semi-rural connections
- Flow control Instead of water meters and to force water restrictions
Water Treatment View PDF
- Back-wash flow rate control for preventing media loss – service water flow rate control through delicate filters
- Control trickle flow to water quality analysing equipment
- Ultraviolet water sterilisation, controlled speed = controlled bacteria kill
- Water Softeners, for preventing loss of crystals during back-washing
Industrial View PDF
- Vacuum Pumps, for controlling flow of crucial sealing / service liquid to liquid ring vacuum pumps
- Fire Fighting, pump protection – Controlled maximum flow ensures correct operation for type of nozzle used, also for use in conjunction with smaller flow valve for correct ratio dosing of foaming agent
- Dust Suppression, sprinkler control on mobile water tankers. Dust & erosion control of crusher output and tailings mounds via sprinklers
- Industrial Linen and Dishwashing Machines – Prevents a large drop in mains pressure whilst filling
- Safety Showers & Eyewash Equipment – controlled flow ensures consistent and safe operation
Irrigation & Farming View PDF
- Sprinkler flow control, over-spraying mists and/or wastes water and under-irrigating wastes time – Fitted to each outlet ensures uniform output at different elevations
Centrifugal Pump Protection View PDF
- For keeping a pump on its curve and preventing cavitation damage
- For use on high draw-down bores for preventing up-thrust damage
- For preventing over-pumping beyond bores capacity & drawing in of air or sand, leading to unstable conditions
- Protection from overloading of electric motors – control of cooling water to liquid ring vacuum pumps
- Gland-water & mechanical seal – water flow control.
Domestic & Commercial View PDF
- Water conservation – Kwyflo valves are recommended for quiet operation
- Drinking Fountains – controlled stream prevents frustration at the drinking fountain
- Toilet Cisterns – prevents the potential “continuous flush“ operation if fill rate is too fast
- Water Heaters – keeping flow below a pre set maximum ensures gas & electric instantaneous heaters can heat to a sufficiently hot & advertised temperature
