Automatic Recirculation Valve

An Automatic Recirculation Valve is designed to protect pumps from damage by ensuring a minimum flow rate is maintained. It automatically redirects flow back to the pump's inlet when the main flow drops below a critical level, preventing overheating and cavitation. This is crucial in maintaining pump longevity and system reliability.

Applications of Automatic Recirculation Valves

In Mining:

Used to safeguard slurry and water pumps in mining operations.

In Waterworks:

Essential for maintaining consistent flow in municipal water systems.

In Building & Construction:

An automatic recirculation valve can protect pumps in HVAC and water distribution systems from damage due to low flow conditions.

What are the Benefits of Automatic Recirculation Valves?

Pump Protection: Prevents damage from low flow conditions, ensuring pump longevity.

Efficiency: Maintains optimal flow, enhancing system reliability and performance.

Automatic Operation: Requires no manual intervention, reducing maintenance needs. BERMAD’s range of pump control valves utilize this benefit.
