Conclusion The ideal valve is which closes as soon as the flow begins to reverse.
The obturator must have :
• a low distance to travel,
• a low weight (inertia and friction reduced to a minimum).
CLASAR® answers • It prevents water hammer : because it closes rapidly before the reversal flow.
to these requirements • It is noiseless.
• It reduces the “shock” : due to polyurethane obturator elasticity.
Performances Temperature : water up to 60 °C. Other fluids, on request.
