Vacuum Breaker / Air
VACUUM PREVENTION AND SLOW AIR RELEASE FOR PRESSURE SURGE CONTROL
Cla-Val Vacuum Breakers are reliable and economical pipeline surge control components, requiring no regular maintenance. The Vacuum Breaker Valve (Large orifice combined with Air Release Valve (small orifice) are normally closed. But when installed at points where water column separation can occur, both orifices open admitting air into pipeline, then instantly close to trap air and thereby cushioning rejoining of the water column. In this manner severe pressure surge/water hammer is prevented as the system returns to normal operation. Simultaneously the small orifice Air Release Valve opened...due to vacuum and stays open...venting the discharge of trapped air from pipeline slowly until gradual normal pipeline pressure is achieved. Various small orifice are available. See small orifice chart, Page 45. Water column separation in a pipeline may create high levels of vacuum only momentarily, but the severe damage,such as a pipeline rupture can occur when the water column rejoins. Also momentarily vacuum conditions can easily cause a thin wall pipeline or sealed water tank to collapse due to vacuum when draining fluid. Metal to Buna-N® insures “drop tight” seal at any pressure. For these reasons it is sound engineering practice to use Cla-Val Vacuum Breaker Air Release Valves to prevent water column separation in pipelines and collapse of tanks.

Series 38VB/AR Release Valve Data and Sizing
Vacuum Breaker Valve Sizing
Vacuum Breaker Valve Air Intake capacity is the same as for air vacuum valves. Use data below for sizing or use Cla-Val Air Vacuum Valve selector slide rule. 1. 2. 3. 4. Series 38 Vacuum Breaker/Air Release valves should be sized to admit the maximum volume of air into the pipeline but not exceed 5 psi pressure differential across the valve inlet orifice. Each high point of change in grade must be examined independently when determining vacuum valve size. Use the steepest slope for calculation. Use the flow capacity charts located below to assist in vacuum valve sizing. Determine the smallest valve size capable of admitting air equal to the potential flow in CFS while not exceeding a pressure differential of 5 psi across the valve orifice (Based on gravity flow). The following formula should be used to calculate the rate of flow in CFS that can occur within the pipeline under gravity flow conditions.

Q = .0007872 C S5 D

Where: Q= Flow of water in cubic feet per second C= Coefficient in Chezy’s formula=110 S= Slope in feet per foot of length D= Inside pipe diameter in inches

5.

If thin wall steel pipe is being used, the risk of pipeline collapse due to the formation of vacuum must be considered. The following formula may be used to calculate the collapsing pressure of thin walled cylindrical steel pipe using a safety factor of four:

P = 16,250,000
6. 7.

T D

3

Where: P= Collapsing pressure in psi T= Thickness of pipe in inches D= Diameter of pipe in inches

For other pipe materials or thickness consult pipe manufacturer for pipe collapsing pressure. Determine the smallest valve size capable of admitting the required air in CFS (as found in step 5) without exceeding the collapsing pressure (as found in step 6) or 5 psi, whichever is less. Do not exceed a pressure differential greater than 5 psi.

Vacuum Breaker/Air Release Valve Specifications
Vacuum Breaker valves shall be flanged sizes 4” thru 42” or threaded 1/2” thru 3” and automatically open to admit large volumes of air into a system to break a vacuum.

Sizes 4” thru 10” must accept a wafer butterfly valve directly connected, without disc interference. The valve shall have a spring-loaded plug, center guided and in-flow area equal to valve size. The valve must have a screened protective hood and be installed vertically. The valve must crack open at 0.25 psi and full open at 2 psi pressure differential.

Stainless Steel ASTM A313 T302 Option When Specified: Supply automatic Air Release Valve with the Vacuum Breaker Valve, for release of air when the system is operating. Description/Materials: Valve body inlet shall be threaded with hexagonal shape for wrench use. The shut-off orifice button shall be Buna-N or Viton. Valve Body and Cover, Cast Iron; Float (unconditionally guaranteed); trim stainless steel type 304; all field replaceable. Non-Metallic linkage not acceptable. Valve exterior shall be coated with high quality, alkyd metal primer. Air release valves shall comply with AWWA C512-92 standards and tested at 1.5 times the working pressure. Test certificates; drawings; parts list; O&M materials shall be provided as requested. Vacuum breaker valves shall be Series 38VB/AR for water or wastewater as supplied by Cla-Val, Newport Beach. California.
