Valvula de Alivio de Presion
400 Series
Model: FP 430-59
Description
The BERMAD Model FP 430-59 combines fire pump relief with a pre-opening feature to anticipate pump start-up surge. The valve opens fully by means of electric override upon pump start-up, and continues to function as a pressure relief valve. The valve performs reliably in high capacity fire pump systems.
Typical Applications
Individual high capacity fire-pumps
Optional Features
Hazardous locations solenoid Electric limit-switch and/or valve position flow indicator Large control filter (code: F) Seawater service construction Valve Position Single/Double Limit Switches
Note: Optional features can be mixed and matched. Consult your local BERMAD representative for full details
400 Series
Operation
The BERMAD Model FP 430-59 is equipped with 2 parallel control systems to provide both pressure relief (via hydraulic pilot valve) and pump start-up surge anticipation (via solenoid valve): Simultaneously with electrically powering the pump to start, an electric command is sent to the Solenoid Valve [1]. This fully opens the main valve, ensuring that pump start-up sudden flow and pressure surge will be relieved and will not cause a water hammer effect. Via a timer, the electric power is kept active long enough to ensure functionality. After the electric command is turned off, the pump pressure relief feature remains active. When the Pressure Sustaining (PS) Pilot [2] senses upstream pressure that is higher than its set point, it acts upon the main valve control chamber [3] causing the main valve to modulate open, relieving excess pressure to either a reservoir or sump. The PS Pilot is equipped with an adjusting screw [4] to preset the desired upstream pressure and an integral needle valve [5] to control the main valve closing speed. [4]

Engineer Specifications
The pressure relief valve shall be both solenoid pilot and hydraulic pilot controlled. The main valve shall be an elastomeric type globe valve with a rolling-diaphragm. Valve actuation shall be accomplished by a fully peripherally supported, one-piece balanced rolling-diaphragm vulcanized with a rugged radial seal disk. The diaphragm assembly shall be the only moving part. The valve shall have an unobstructed flow path, with no stem guide or supporting ribs. The valve shall have a removable cover for quick in-line service enabling all necessary inspection and servicing. The pilot system shall be field adjustable, with adjustable valve closing speed, integrated into the main valve, hydraulically-tested and supplied as an assembly consisting of: Relief pilot valve with built-in, internal needle valve (6-12 only) Solenoid valve Y strainer The control line shall be supplied as an assembly, pre-assembled and hydraulically tested at an ISO 9000 and 9001 certified factory.

Installation Considerations
Valve size should be no less than NFPA-20 requirements. Provide adequate clearance around valve for maintenance, ensuring that the actuator can be easily removed. Design installation with the valve cover up for best performance. Ensure that before the valve is installed, pipeline is flushed at full flow.
