Description:
for General Purpose Nema 4, 4x or Explosion-Proof Nema 4, 4x, 7 & 9
The Moniteur DSS Dribble Control Package is a complete product incorporating two reliable ASCO solenoid valves and specially configured limit switches designed for two-stage operation. The package mounts to most spring return rotary pneumatic actuators and allows users to transform an automated valve into a two stage shutoff package. The most common applications are: Filling or metering vessels. By being able to reduce the flow rate at a given point during a filling operation, one can more accurately fill a vessel.
Flow dampening. With the two stage package, valves can be partially closed rapidly and then completely closed gradually. This reduces water hammer and shock to pipes and valves.
Application Note – Using spring return actuators for dribble control allows the unit to fail-close in case of an air or control signal failure. Avoid dribble control packages that use double acting actuators – they cannot provide this feature. Moniteur will not supply product so configured. |
Features & Benefits of Moniteur’s Dribble Control Products
|
Dual flow rate positions for filling vessels or flow dampening |
Fully adjustable set points allow the user flexibility to determine proper stage switching |
Open / Closed limit switches provide additional valve end point monitoring |
Factory assembled and tested, saving users and assemblers time and money |
