The pressure loss of these breakaway couplings was optimised and significantly improved. The design is based on models from nature such as dolphins and squids and was developed with the aid of CFD or computational fluid dynamics analysis.
Just like the other RS series breakaway couplings, the ASVL series breakaway coupling with cable triggering protects against industrial accidents. It protects the hose or flanged systems such as pipes from too much of a burden, even in the case of non-axial burdens. Separation occurs by means of a path-controlled load cable that must be shorter than the connected hose line. After separation, the valves close and prevent the medium from escaping from the hose and tube side, thus protecting humans and the environment.
In comparison to conventional breakaway couplings, the control cable breakaway coupling offers even greater potential savings of energy and time. Pressure loss has been reduced to a minimum; at the same time, the flow rate has been improved.
The energy reduced and time gained during the loading process deliver real financial savings.
