NFORMATION
1. Product Overview
The BPR is designed to maintain a constant set pressure in
pump discharge lines feeding the chemical injection
system. As pressure rises in the pump discharge line, the
BPR will maintain pressure levels at a Set Point while
allowing the unused fluid to return to the chemical
holding tank.
BPRs should be used in any pump discharge line where
the pressure must remain at a constant level and unused
fluid can be routed back to the fluid holding tank.
BPRs are not designed to be used as Pressure Safety
Devices.
BPRs provide a constant pressure to the system with
continuous spill-off to the chemical tank that is
independent of the flow rate. The BPR10000MFB series has
a maximum operating pressure of 10,000psi and supports
a flow range of 0.5 – 15 GPM.
