UF4 / UFR4 Series - Pressure Relief Valves
Industries : Chemical
UF3 and UFR3 Valves are used to protect pumps and听other related process equipment in the event of a听pressure spike downstream of the pump.听 These valves听can be set to relieve pressure in the range of 0-10 bar.听听
New: UF4 and UFR4 Series is being introduced to听deliver this same functionality with the advantages of听added controls to monitor pressure release events, and to听actuate the valve during any required CIP cleaning.听听
Note: UF3 and UFR3 valves will still be available through the end of the 2023 and existing installations can be updated to include these added features through inserts. Standard options are available up to 10 bars, for higher pressures or for ATEX UF4/UFR4 options please consult 爆料瓜.鈥�

FEATURES
Benefits:
翱辫迟颈尘耻尘听肠濒别补苍补产颈濒颈迟测鈥�
- No dead spaces in the valve body鈥�
- No stroke limitation by seat lift actuator; the full opening cross section is available during cleaning鈥�
- 3-A approved designs听available /听Designed to EHEDG听guidelines鈥�
- All product-contact parts are made of AISI 316L / DIN EN 1.4404 stainless听steel.

- Enhanced control for improved response to pressure relief听events听(through proximity switches or through control unit feedback)鈥�
- All valves come with a seal lifting function to open the valve during cleaning operation which helps听minimize听downtime鈥�
- Clamps allow for a听service friendly design听鈥�
Optimize your听process听鈥�
- Protect your pump with an external over-pressure relief valve. If pump discharge听pressure exceeds听the set cracking-pressure,听the valve听will听open to a relief听path鈥�
- The modulating cone of the UFR4 valve provides for slower, smoother closing of the valve when low flow is expected and prevent pressure听hammers鈥�
- Leverage the breadth of options to standardize your operations: can be supplied in nominal diameters from DN25 to DN100 and ISO 1" to 4"鈥�
Feature:鈥�
- Ball shaped valve body with smooth passages, i.e., no sump and dome, making CIP-cleaning more efficient and more reliable.听
- Seat lift actuator as a standard offering with feedback switches on top of the actuator.听
- UF4/UFR4 replacement insert fits into existing UF3/UFR3 housing making an easy upgrades to next generation with improved features.听
- Wide range of pressure settings can be achieved using four different actuators.听
- UF4 maintenance free actuator minimizes maintenance costs and downtime听
- The metal stop ensures defined compression of the seat seal, reducing material stress.听听
- The UF4/UFR4 valves can be delivered with a comprehensive range of CU4, CU4plus control units.听听
UF pressure relief valves use a standard shut-off type disc for closing against product and are suitable for general applications.
To provide smoother transitions from open to closed and to maintain constant pressure, UFR valves feature a profiled cone design.听听This design minimizes the unwanted effects related to water hammer to further protect the pump.鈥� 鈥�
Both UF and UFR relief valves open when the pressure in the outlet increase above the set point of the valve in over pressure conditions. This prevents pumps from producing excess pressure which can cause a pipeline to burst. Over pressure conditions can also damage to coupling, rotors, rotor casing, and pumps shafts.鈥�
