RAF 10 Float Level Control Valve

Description

RAF 10 is used to maintain a

preset water level in a reservoir
or a water tank in a simple, VENT
economic manner. The RAF
valve is activated by the line
pressure.

The RAF10 stays open as long

as the water level in the reservoir
is below the preset level. As the
water level rises and lifts the
float, the valve gradually closes.

 VENT

RAF 10 control mode

RAF Float level control Valve is
activated by line pressure and
controlled by a two-way float pilot. a
The pilot vent is opened or closed
according to the float level. The float
is located inside the reservoir as
shown. The vertical water level
changes are amplified by a lever and
conveyed to the float. The float valve
will close when water level reaches its
preset. RAF 10 - Float Level Control Valve

Automatic Operation:
When the water level is low, the lever
drops due to the float weight. The vent As the float lever moves upward, due Adjustment
is open. The control chamber of the to the rising water level inside the water
RAF is drained through the vent. The tank, the vent closes mechanically. The Adjust the needle valve a to allow
