The Alfa Laval LKUV-2 is a reliable, self-acting air relief valve that releases excess air from process pipelines, or pumps to prevent cavitation and product loss, thereby preventing the negative effects of air entrainment. Vertically installed, it is ideal for use where the removal of air is required to maintain design pressure conditions, such as at the top of a pipeline, or pump inlet pipe on the suction side to remove excess air before starting the pump.
Air-relief valves designed for solid safety, efficiency and low cost of ownership
- Improved processing efficiency and product integrity
- Enhanced energy efficiency
- Protects pumps against the risk of cavitation
- Low total cost of ownership
This self-acting relief valve is designed for air-venting duties in hygienic applications across the dairy, food, beverage and many other industries. It is typically used in Cleaning-in-Place return line (CIP-R) applications.
