Maintain Pump Efficiency and prevent costly downtime with reliable flow control

Pump protection

Protecting valuable pump equipment and ensuring optimal efficiency with minimal unplanned downtime is essential in any operation.
BT-Maric constant flow valves offer proven protection by maintaining consistent flow and pressure conditions – safeguarding pumps from damage caused by pressure instability, cavitation, or improper operation.
Designed to maintain a fixed, pre-set flow regardless of pressure differentials (within the range of 1.4–10 bar), BT-Maric constant flow valves ensure that discharge pressure (or “head”) remains within manufacturer specifications – preventing damage to bearings, seals, and other critical components.

Key Advantages for Pump Protection

1. Prevents Cavitation and Bearing Damage

Keeps the pump operating on its performance curve, maintaining correct head pressure to avoid cavitation and mechanical wear.

2. Controls Peak Flow Rates

Regulates maximum flow to ensure water is efficiently drawn at the suction end – improving overall pump efficiency and avoiding pressure surges.

3. Protects Against System Overload and Damage

Prevents over-pumping beyond bore capacity, which could otherwise cause air or sand ingress, pump instability, and up-thrust damage.

4. Ensures Manufacturer-Specified Operation

By pre-setting flow to design specifications, the valve ensures optimal pump performance while preventing unauthorized adjustments or unsafe flow levels.

Common Applications in Pump Protection

BT-Maric constant flow valves are widely used in applications where pump integrity and long-term reliability are critical:

• Cooling Systems for Liquid Ring Vacuum Pumps: Controls the cooling water flow to avoid electric motor overload.
• Borehole and Deep Well Pumping: Prevents up-thrust damage in high draw-down bores and stops over-pumping that could lead to suction of air or sediment.
• Slurry and Product Handling Systems: Limits dilution by precisely regulating gland water flow.
• Fixed-Flow Systems: Ensures flow rate never exceeds the manufacturer’s intended rate, maintaining system stability and equipment protection.

Built for Demanding Environments

BT-Maric Constant Flow Valves are engineered for durability and performance in harsh and variable conditions. A wide range of body materials and rubber insert options are available to match specific chemical or mechanical requirements.
