BCV Blowdown Control Valves DN15 to DN50 (½" to 2")

Description Spirax Sarco's BCV blowdown control valves are manufactured using the market proven Spira-trol TM body. These valves are designed for the blowdown of steam boilers or for other high pressure drop, low flow applications, and are generally used with a blowdown controller as part of an automatic BCV control system.

The flowrate is adjusted by setting the stroke of the valve spindle. These valves have been specially designed to minimize seat erosion and ensure consistent tight shut-off. A ¼" BSP plug at the base of the valve may be removed to allow a sample cooler to be fitted. Two versions are available: - Electrically actuated BCV blowdown control valve. - Pneumatically actuated BCV blowdown control valve. Available models:
