Commercial facilities often use liquid systems for plumbing, fire protection, chilled water, condenser water, and service-water applications. When pressure reduction is concentrated at a valve, restriction, or discharge point, cavitation can create noise, vibration, and premature wear.
Commercial buildings and facilities may use liquid systems for plumbing, fire protection, chilled water, condenser water, and general service water. Cavitation risk can develop when pumps, valves, restrictions, or discharge points create sudden pressure reduction.
For severe cavitation risk, the system should be reviewed to determine whether a controlled restriction solution is appropriate.
The Anti-Cavitate Orifice Plate™ helps manage flow, pressure drop, and cavitation behavior in a single fixed-geometry device.
Controlling how flow and pressure are reduced can lower noise levels generated within the system.
Managing the pressure drop helps mitigate cavitation that can damage pipes and downstream equipment.
The plate regulates flow rate to help the system operate within the intended design conditions.
