The Multi-functional Automatic Recirculation Valve (ARV) is designed to protect centrifugal pumps from damage caused by low-flow or dry-run conditions. It automatically ensures a minimum flow by redirecting fluid back to the tank or suction line when the main process flow drops below a set threshold. This valve integrates multiple functions, including check valve, bypass valve, and flow control in one compact unit. It operates without external power or control systems, offering reliable and energy-efficient pump protection. Ideal for high-temperature, high-pressure, and critical service applications in industries such as power generation, petrochemical, and water treatment.

When the flow of a centrifugal pump drops below its required minimum, issues such as reduced efficiency, increased vibration and noise, and overheating may occur. Installing the DCHL Multi-functional Automatic Recirculation Valve prevents these problems by automatically directing a portion of the fluid back to the pump’s inlet-side container for recirculation, ensuring the pump’s minimum flow is maintained. When the pump shuts down, the main valve disc closes quickly to prevent backflow and reverse rotation of the rotor, thereby protecting the safety of the pump system.
