Information on the discharge-side installation
n Install a vacuum breaker if the feed chemical may not press through
the metering pump. A metering pump is not an absolutely leak-tight
shut-off device.
n Install the injection valve at the injection point to prevent unwanted
mixing of water and feed chemical in the discharge line.
n A relief valve with a return into the storage tank is useful as overload
protection for the discharge line, for example install a ProMinent
®
mul‐
tifunctional valve.
n Dampen pressure peaks with a metering stroke with long discharge
lines with a pulsation dampener or increase the pipe cross-section.
* Ventilation line with pressure vessels
PD Pulsation damper
n Dampen the pulsations with a pulsation dampener in order to avoid
metering errors, premature wear and tear and damage to the metering
system.
