AIR VALVES

Description of IRRIGATION AIR VALVES

All the irrigation air valves They are responsible for introducing and removing air that can accumulate in pipes and filters. The presence of air can reduce the performance of these components, so it is necessary to control the amount of air present in them precisely. This control helps keep the flow pressure, avoiding possible air pockets.

It is advisable to install air valves in large irrigation networks and large diameter pipes, since they are systems more prone to being affected by air introduction problems.

Air can be introduced into an irrigation system in different ways. You can access changes in slopes, as these cause pressure changes and can release air that is dissolved in the water. It can also enter while the water is sucked in or dissolved in the water of ponds and canals.
