Conrader NSG-23 pilot unloader check valve is used for running air compressors for continuous operation. It incorporates a discharge unloader valve, pilot valve and check valve. This valve can also be used on electric motor / gas engine-driven air compressors.
Working Mechanism:
- The pilot stays closed until the downstream pressure reaches the unload setting.
- The unloader valve is then opened and pressurised by the pilot, causing the unloader valve to open and release the compressor's surplus air into the atmosphere
- The pilot closes and depressurises the unloader valve as the compressed air downstream is consumed & the pressure decreases to the load setting.
- This cycle is repeated as the unloader valve closes, pressure builds once more, and so forth.
Features:
- Conrader NSG-23 pilot unloader check valve features a brass body for structural rigidity and high-pressure tolerance.
- It comes with a reinforced PTFE poppet and stainless steel spring for protection against wear and corrosion on exposed surfaces.
- This unloader check valve has unload set pressures ranging from 40 to 250 PSIG.
- It provides a maximum flow capacity of 20 SCFM at 100 PSIG.
- This NSG-23 pilot check valve comes with silicone / Viton O-rings for resistance against hazardous chemicals and UV radiations.
