Uses of Air Valves in Irrigation Systems

Air valves play a crucial role in irrigation systems by managing air flow within pipelines. Their main functions include:

Air Release:

They remove trapped air from the pipelines, preventing air pockets that can reduce water flow efficiency.

Vacuum Prevention:

During pipe drainage or pump shutdown, air valves allow air to enter the system, preventing vacuum formation and pipe collapse.

Pressure Control:

By managing air movement, they help stabilize pressure fluctuations, reducing the risk of pipe bursts or damage.

Improved Water Flow Efficiency:

Air pockets can cause water hammer and uneven flow. Properly placed air valves ensure a smooth and consistent water supply.

System Longevity:

By reducing stress on pipes and fittings, air valves extend the life of irrigation infrastructure.
