Back-up safety feature
A failsafe mechanism designed for critical or sensitive water systems where continuous operation of control valves is crucial. This double safety feature is based on a third control chamber that is integrated into the valve’s regular actuator. The third Control Chamber acts as a hot-backup mechanism for ensuring continuous operation of the control system in the event of malfunction in the valve’s main control loop or diaphragm.
During regular operation the failsafe mechanism is on standby, monitoring the main control loop. Once the operation of the valve deviates from its designated control parameters, the third chamber control loop immediately kicks-in replacing the operation of the faulty one. An optional dry contact switch can be added for triggering an alarm circuit whenever the failsafe mechanism is activated.
