Reliable Water Level Control in Dams: GSR Ventiltechnik Introduces Type 24 Piston Valve

Dams play a critical role in regulating water flow: they store water in reservoirs and release it in a controlled manner to the downstream through bottom outlet pipes. This requires extremely reliable, durable, and precisely controllable valves in control, auxiliary, and safety systems — even under high pressures and varying flow conditions.

German manufacturer GSR Ventiltechnik GmbH & Co. KG offers a robust solution for dam applications — the force pilot-operated piston valve Type 24. This solenoid valve is particularly well-suited for drainage and venting systems in dams and reservoirs.

Key Features of Type 24:

  • Force pilot-operated piston design — operates without minimum differential pressure
  • Pressure range up to 40 bar
  • Temperature range: −30 °C to +80 °C
  • Seal materials: NBR, FKM, EPDM, PTFE
  • Flange connection DN65 to DN300 (EN 1092-1)
  • High flow rates (Kv up to 1400 m³/h)
  • Optional ATEX approval for potentially explosive atmospheres
  • 100% duty cycle (ED) and IP65 protection
  • Long-term availability of spare parts kits

The Type 24 valve ensures safe and precise shut-off and flow control for clean neutral liquids and gases, making it an excellent choice for hydropower facilities, water treatment plants, flood control systems, and industrial water management.
