Product catalog summary
Overview of the Hydrobloc System
The Hydrobloc system is a versatile range of automatic control valves designed for applications such as pressure, flow, level, and network control. It features a hydraulically operated, diaphragm-actuated main valve with pilot valves, offering over 1000 combinations to meet specific needs.
Specifications and Standards
  • Pressure ratings: PN 10, 16, or 25 bar

  • Suitable for water with a maximum mesh size of 2 mm
  • Complies with Pr EN 1074-1 and ISO 5208 for pressure tests
  • Face-to-face dimensions follow ISO 5752 and EN 558
  • Flange drillings according to ISO 7005-2
Key Features
  • Available in DN 50 to DN 1000 globe pattern, with options for angle pattern
  • Large flow coefficient and low head loss
  • Corrosion protection with epoxy powder coating and stainless steel bolting
  • Easy modification and maintenance with a compact unit design
  • Tested under real working conditions for maximum resistance to cavitation
Main Valve Structure
The Hydrobloc main valve is line pressure actuated and pilot controlled, with components made from materials like ductile iron, bronze, and stainless steel. Optional features include anti-cavitation kits, stainless steel seats, and anti-scaling coatings.
Applications
  • Pressure Control: Includes pressure reducing, sustaining, and relief functions.
  • Level Control: Features altitude and float control systems for maintaining constant levels.
  • Pumping Station Control: Offers manual or remote control, solenoid operation, and surge anticipation.
  • Flow Control: Maintains constant flow rates and includes hydraulic check valves.
Installation and Sizing
Installation schemes and sizing diagrams are provided to ensure optimal working conditions and avoid cavitation risks. The system includes built-in check valves for easy commissioning and maintenance.
Examples of Multipurpose Valves
The document lists various multipurpose valves like "Hydrostab" pressure reducing valves and "Hydro" flow limiting valves, each with specific applications and adjustment ranges.
Conclusion
The Hydrobloc system by Bayard Engineering offers a versatile and reliable solution for hydraulic control needs, backed by 30 years of experience and extensive testing.
Hydraulic Control Valves
  • Application: Used for slow opening/closing at adjustable speeds, hydraulic slow closing upon reverse flow, and controlling pressure differences in booster pumps.
  • Options: Include pressure sustaining, two-step opening, and pressure reducing.
  • Operation: Primarily hydraulic, with some electric control options.
Safety Control Valves
  • Application: Designed to control pump shut-down during power failure, manage air exhaust and inlet during pump operations, and ensure pump operation at zero flow.
  • Installation: Installed in derivation on the delivery line of the pumping station.
Surge Anticipating Valve
  • Operation: Hydraulic, with quick opening on pressure drop and slow closing to prevent overpressure.
  • Application: Limits water hammer effects due to sudden pump shut-down.
  • Adjustment Range: Standard pressure range from 1 to 20 bar, with other options available.
Combination Valve
  • Operation: Hydraulic, allowing air entry/exhaust and pressure relief.
  • Application: Manages air flow during pump start-up/shut-down and provides pressure relief.
  • Adjustment Range: Similar to surge anticipating valve, with standard and other pressure options.
Additional Equipment
  • Includes check valves, air valves, safety relief valves, and more.
  • Specialized valves like the "HYDRO" hand control valve and "HYDRO" SCADA valve for remote operations.
Technical Specifications
  • DN range from 50 to 700, with pressure ratings of PN 16 or PN 25.
  • Flanges drilled according to ISO standards.
Optional Features
  • Include adjustable speed controls, twin-filter circuits, oil-damped pressure gauges, and manual or solenoid-operated bypass functions.
  • Limit switches and potentiometric indicators for enhanced control and monitoring.
