Hale SV Sensing Valve
A Hale SV (Sensing Valve) is a specialized valve used in fire pump systems to regulate the pressure of the water being pumped. The SV valve is typically installed in the discharge line of the fire pump and is designed to maintain a constant discharge pressure by sensing changes in the system and adjusting the flow of water accordingly.
The SV valve operates by sensing the pressure downstream of the valve and adjusting a pilot valve to control the flow of water through the valve. This ensures that the pressure of the water remains constant, even if there are changes in demand or other factors that could affect the system.
The SV valve is an important component of a fire pump system because it helps to ensure that the system can deliver water at the correct pressure and flow rate to extinguish fires effectively. The valve is available in a range of sizes and configurations to meet the needs of different fire protection systems.
Proper installation, maintenance, and testing of the SV valve is essential to ensure that it is functioning correctly and providing reliable operation of the fire pump system. Regular inspection and maintenance of the fire pump system can help identify issues with the SV valve and other components before they become major problems.
