In high rise developments and large scale water networks, pressure consistency determines equipment lifespan and operational stability. A compactly designed water system produces clean treated water in the plant room that is ready for delivering high pressure through the distribution network. The potential for generating and supplying high-quality water at the lowest overall cost gets maximized by this. The needs are different at the point of use, however. Lower pressure water can offer a wide range of advantages here as the design of the equipment and its construction can because of lower pressure rating cost less to buy, as the pressure loss is reduced can cost less to operate, suffer fewer scaling problems due to lower operating temperature.
At Dutco Tennant LLC, we offer our advanced Pilot Operated - Ductile Iron valves to regulate downstream pressure precisely while adapting to changing demand conditions within distribution systems. Our valve works in such a way that it balances the downstream pressures against a control spring. Lower pressure water can offer a wide range of advantages here as the design of the equipment and its construction can because of lower pressure rating cost less to buy, as the pressure loss is reduced can cost less to operate, suffer fewer scaling problems due to lower operating temperature.
This configuration functions as a responsive pilot operated pressure reducing valve, where a small pilot assembly senses outlet pressure variations and adjusts the main diaphragm accordingly. The result is controlled throttling action that maintains a preset reduced pressure even when upstream supply or downstream demand fluctuates.
