Developed for centrifugal pump protection, this unit provides the following features and benefits:

Operational Dependability

The valve has only one moving part. No pilot valves or linkages are required for operation. The combination check valve/flow sensing element is guided at the top and bottom for smooth operation. The multi-functional valve provides economical and reliable protection against low flow and reverse flow conditions. The valve combines the functions of:

• Main Line Check Valve
• Flow Sensing Element
• Bypass Flow Control
• Bypass Pressure Reduction

The DLPM eliminates at least seven separate components used in a conventional system.

Self-powered

The valve operates without air or electric power and is easily installed with three connections.

Pump protection with HBE Engineering series DLPM automatic recirculation valve.  Designed to ASME B16.34 in sizes ranging from 1 inch to 30 inch inlet/outlet  with ASME Class 150 to 600 ratings.

No main flow demand, minimum flow thru bypass

Modulating flow, main flow is less than minimum flow

Main flow greater than minumum flow, bypass closed

Installations

Typical installations include: transfer, feeding, circulating, boosting, and loading pumps. The valve was developed to serve pump protection requirements of the power, refining, chemical, petrochemical, pharmaceutical, and HVAC industries.

Usage

Typical uses include centrifugal pumps of ANSI/API configuration, vertical turbine, and canned motor design.

Applications

In general any clean liquid which passes through a strainer or filter before entering the valve. Typical services include but are not limited to boiler feed water, raw water, condensate, gasoline, diesel fuel, light hydrocarbons, and feed stocks.
