11.1.5 Anti-Surge
Recycle
Valve
When included in Solar’s scope of supply, the anti-surge recycle valve is supplied as a
complete and functionally tested assembly, shipped separately for field installation. The
assembly includes the valve and the following accessories and features:
•
Spring-return, diaphragm-type, pneumatic actuator
•
Position transmitter with valve fully open and fully close relay outputs and 4-to-
20 mA proportional to percentage closed
•
Pressure regulator
•
3-way 24-VDC solenoid valve
•
Electropneumatic valve positioner
•
½-in. NPT actuator pressure port
•
Carbon steel body per ASTM A352
•
Interconnecting 316L stainless steel tubing and compression-type fittings
•
