Automatic Recirculation Valve in VR

Ixrlabs19 Jul, 2024Education

An automatic recirculation valve (ARV) is a control valve that is used to protect centrifugal pumps from damage due to low flow conditions. It is a safety feature that helps to ensure that the minimum flow rate required by the pump is maintained at all times, even if the flow rate drops below a certain level. It is usually installed downstream of the pump discharge line and upstream of any control valves, filters, or other components.
