Pressure Reducing System with "Watchdog" Hydraulic Backup Valve BC-72S-H-P

Hydraulically operated, diaphragm actuated pressure reducing system, consisting of a BERMAD BC-720-P PRV and an integral “Watchdog” backup valve. The system reduces a high upstream pressure to a lower, constant downstream pressure, regardless of fluctuating demand or varying upstream pressure. The “Watchdog” backup valve is fully open in normal operation due to its double chamber configuration, minimizing head loss and maximizing flow through the valve. Should pressure rise downstream of the BERMAD BC-720-P because of valve failure, the “Watchdog” quickly responds and triggers an alarm, while providing stable pressure to consumers until the PRV is repaired. BERMAD 700 series valves are hydraulic, oblique pattern, globe valves with double chamber unitized actuator, that can be disassembled from the body as a separate integral unit. The valves hydrodynamic body is designed for unobstructed flow path and provides excellent and highly effective modulation capacity for high differential pressure applications.

Product Features & Benefits
