Series VBH
High-pressure bifunctional air valves
Air control in high-pressure hydraulic pipelines through evacuation of large volumes during filling and air intake during emptying or under vacuum conditions.

IRUA Series VBH consists of double-function air valves designed specifically for hydraulic pipelines operating at high pressures. In pumping mains, long pipelines or industrial infrastructures, air management is critical to prevent overpressures and vacuums.
How a Series VBH air valve works
High-pressure double-function air valves perform two essential functions to control air in hydraulic pipelines subjected to demanding conditions.

Evacuation of large amounts of air during filling

The valve will remain closed during normal operation of the installation

Air intake into the pipeline in the event of drainage or rupture
