Hauck’s Self-Cleaning Micro Oil Valves are
engineered to produce accurate, reproducible linear flow control of oil
to any type of industrial process. The MOV valves are available in two
model series. The AS Series is used for straight through piping
applications while the S Series is employed where an angle valve is
required. All S Series valves are UL listed. This valve is intended for
flow control. It is not designed to replace a shutoff valve. For tight
shutoff, a ball or solenoid valve should be provided in the fuel supply line.
As the valve flow indicator is moved, the action of the cleaning pin
clears foreign obstructions from the crescent-shaped V groove of the
valve disk. This feature ensures thorough cleaning of the controlling
orifice without the need to dismantle the valve. Unlike conventional
valves, there is no constricted flow orifice to cause valve clogging or
reduced burner firing capacity.
All Hauck S and AS micro-valves are designed to ensure a linear-flow
control. With a constant pressure drop across the valve, each increasing
division on the dial will give a proportional increase in flow. The
operator can quickly adjust the oil flow to any desired capacity since
every dial position corresponds to a specific discharge rate - assuming
the same pressure drop and viscosity.
A hand wheel provides easy manual adjustments over the entire 180º range
of the dial. For automatic control, an adjustable radius lever is
supplied. When using automatic control, the range of operation is
limited by that of the control motor - typically 0 to 90º.
These valves will efficiently handle any grade of fuel oil, even the
heaviest residual grades, provided that they are preheated to the proper
viscosity and flow characteristics.
These valves are designed to allow accurate reproduction of desired flow
rates. Once the system has been balanced and the settings recorded, it
is then possible to check and exactly reset the valve if it has been
altered.
