LEOPARD hydraulic diaphragm valve with float. This valves control the reservoirs filling.
Leopard Float hydraulic valve
Leopard with float level valves are available from DN 20 to DN 300 diameter.
Applications
Float valves are used in water tanks or regulation tanks. It is designed to fully open when the water level reaches a preselected low and closes tightly when it reaches the selected high level.
Functioning
When the water level in the tank reaches its maximum point, the buoy pilot closes the water passage, accumulating the water pressure in the valve chamber and closing it. When the water level in the tank drops due to consumption, the buoy pilot also descends, opening the water passage and draining the chamber, which opens the hydraulic valve.
In the case of the 1-level hydraulic float valve, the opening and closing of the valve is carried out through the float equipment.
In the 2-level float valve, the opening and closing set of the valve is carried out through the pilot, 3-way manual valve and 2-level float equipment. In relation to the operation of the 2-level hydraulic float valve, the valve opens only when the level of the water sheet reaches the lower buoy, sending the corresponding order to the pilot. When the water level reaches the upper buoy again, it sends an order to the pilot and the valve is closed.
