Key product features
- Four functions in one valve → Reduces the number of separate discharge-side accessories.
- Backpressure function → Maintains the pressure needed for stable dosing when system resistance is too low.
- Pressure-relief function → Protects the dosing line from excessive pressure buildup.
- Deaeration function → Supports pump priming and removal of trapped gas.
- Drain function → Allows pressure-side piping to be emptied for service work.
- Two-diaphragm construction → Provides the defined internal design used by the Grundfos multi-function valve.
- Direct mounting on the pump discharge valve → Simplifies piping around compatible dosing pumps.
- Verified use up to 60 l/h → Defines the published capacity scope for applicable dosing pumps.
- Depressurization function up to 10 bar in AxFlow accessory data → Defines a verified pressure reference for applicable versions.
- Multiple body and seal material options → Supports chemical-compatibility selection for different dosing media.
A multi-function valve is relevant when a dosing system needs several discharge-side functions but plant space and service simplicity favour one compact accessory. AxFlow describes the valve as combining pressure loading, pressure relief, deaeration and drain. This is especially useful where the process does not provide enough backpressure or where the pressure-side dosing line needs protection against excessive pressure.
The Grundfos multi-function valve uses two diaphragms and is mounted directly on the pump discharge valve. It maintains the backpressure required by the dosing pump when system resistance is insufficient, relieves excessive pressure, and provides paths for deaeration and draining of the pressure-side piping. Combining these functions reduces the number of separate accessories around the pump.
AxFlow states that the valve is intended for dosing pumps up to 60 l/h. AxFlow accessory data also lists multifunction valves for pump degassing and depressurization up to 10 bar, with PE or PVDF body materials, PP or PVC connection materials and FKM, EPDM or PTFE sealing options. Exact compatibility must be confirmed for the chemical and pump version.
Combining four functions in one directly mounted valve can reduce piping complexity and the number of separate components that must be installed, inspected and replaced. The integrated deaeration and drain functions also support commissioning and maintenance work on the pressure side. Correct material selection remains essential because chemical attack can shorten component life and increase downtime risk.
