MIkADO – eye-catching stream designThe new MIkAdO aerator turns the water stream into an eye-catcher. It has received the prestigious Red dot Award 2016 for its innovative design.

PCA® V – this aerator deals with pressureNeoperl now offers the PCA® v aerator with dual-Core® technology for use in low and standard pressure applications. At low pressure (starting at 0.2 bar) the aerator creates a full, aerated stream. When the pressure rises, the water-saving flow rate remains virtually constant.

AERATORS

Aerators – one of the most important components of every faucetNowadays, aerators can be found on the spouts of virtually all washbasin and bathtub faucets.They shape the water to produce a non-splashing stream and add air to make the water pleasantly soft. They also reduce plumbing noise and help to save water and energy.

SMaLL PaRTS ThaT MakE aLL ThE DiffERENCE.

8 | Aerators

A film of water builds up over time, which forms a bridge between the insert and the housing. This is where lime begins to form. The lime gradually spreads towards the middle of the screen and finally clogs the air inlets. The stream becomes hard and splashes.

With full-plastic aerators, the formation of water film bridges is hindered. Lime build-up is slow ed down considerably thanks to their unique structure (CASCAdE® and HONEYCOMB®). They continue to produce a straight, non-splashing stream of water, even after long periods of use.

Aerated streamAerators use the venturi effect to introduce air into the water stream. This gives the water a pleasantly abundant, soft feel for the user – regardless of the flow rate. Uncontrolled water splashing is a thing of the past.

Laminar streamPhysicists use the term “laminar” to refer to a stream that flows in parallel layers with no disruption between them. The stream is crystal clear and has a pure, natural appearance – an interesting aspect for the faucet designer. Furthermore, a laminar stream is the ideal choice for health care facilities because of its hygienic advan-tages: aerosol generation is reduced to a minimum due to the lack of air intake.

Spray streamThe spray stream offers an ideal means of dispersing water over the largest possible wetting area when the flow rate is low. Its water-saving attributes also make the spray stream an interesting prospect for highly frequented washrooms (e.g. in public buildings).

Rain Spray streamNeoperl's Rain Spray offers a special washing experience. Numerous little nozzles join forces to produce an extensive, abundant and pleasantly effervescent stream of water – a shower sensation for your hands.

Aerators with metal wire mesh screen

Aerators without metal wire mesh screen

Lime clogs aerators in time. It forms more slowly on plastic aerators than on aerators with metal wire mesh screen. Neoperl has developed the SLC feature for maximum lime resistance: you can simply rub away any lime deposits on the outlet surface of the aerator with your finger.

There are basically two possible ways to control the flow. One is to restrict it by defining the size of the orifice in such a way as to permit a predetermined flow rate at a specific pressure (e.g. 3 bar). Neoperl refers to these products as “flow restrictors”. While flow restrictors allow little water to pass at low pressure, the flow rate is often higher than necessary at high pressure.

Aerator with integrated flow regulatorUnder normal conditions, the water flow through an aerator increases as the pressure rises. However, it may be necessary to achieve a virtually constant flow rate, regardless of pressure fluctuations, in situations where the flow rate is subject to certain requirements, e.g.– compliance with standards in specific markets– saving water– regulated distribution of water.

This is where the PCA® technology comes into its own. PCA® aerators are easier and more convenient to use than flow restrictors at low pressure and save water at high pressure. The user has as much water as he needs (customer satisfaction) but uses no more than is necessary (environ-mental protection).

How the PCA® technology works

Static state (no flow, no or low pressure): the precision control o-ring is relaxed (position 1).

Dynamic state (flow): As soon as water flows through the flow regulator, the o-ring becomes distorted and is pressed into the gaps between the teeth of the core. This reduces the size of the opening for the water (position 2). The deformation of the o-ring increases as the pressure rises (position 3). When the pressure decreases, the o-ring gradually returns to its original shape, increasing the size of the opening for the water again (returning to position 2 and then to position 1).

Features:

SSR (swivel plate)The SSR function offers a means of adjust-ing the direction of the water stream as needed. The inclination angle of the swivel plate on the outlet side is adjustable. The maximum swivel angle depends on the model and varies between ±6° and ±10°.

AC (AutoClean)The dome screen of an AC aerator has an automatic cleaning function. Small dirt particles (up to 0.7 mm in size) are simply flushed out. This ensures that the stream pattern and flow rate remain unaffected, even after long periods of use.

SLC (Smart Lime Cleaning)Lime deposits at the tip of the aerator can simply be rubbed away thanks to the soft elastomer surface. This extends the service life substantially.

Flow rate V (full-flow model)Aeration starting at just 0.2 bar (with a minimum flow of 3.5 l/min). Flow rate v is available for most aerator product lines.

Flow rate Q (low-flow model)Aeration starting at just 0.1 bar with only a flow of 1.8 l/min required. Compared to flow rate v in the pressure range up to 0.6 bar, the Q has a lower flow rate and is therefore the water-efficient variant of the v.Flow rate Q is available for several aerator product lines.

NEW:PCA® V – the model for universal useThese days, pure low-pressure markets are increasingly rare. Mixed systems with pump-fed supply are becoming much more common. Hence classic low-pressure and standard-pressure applications may occur side-by-side, posing a special challenge to faucet manufacturers.In order to do justice to both types, Neoperl now offers the PCA® v aerator with dual-Core® technology. This model creates a full, aerated stream in low-pressure installations. When the pressure goes up, its regulating function maintains a virtually constant, water-saving flow rate regardless of pressure fluctuations.

Flow rates for low-pressure drinking water installations

Pressure range: 0.1 to 1.0 bar

In so-called low-pressure markets, the water pressure depends on the gravity generated in the building (gravity-fed system). The height of the water tank placed above the appliance (e.g. the faucet) determines the line pressure at the outlet.

Gravity-fed systems are characterised by low pressure; a classic aerator does not achieve an aerated stream under such circumstances. Neoperl offers special models which create a soft, comfortable, aerated water stream.

The SLIM aerators offer innovative possi-bilities for faucet design thanks to their low- height construction (approx. 5.5 mm high). They are the perfect choice for very flat spouts. A suitable service key is used to install and remove them. They produce a non-splashing laminar stream of water, without affecting the flow rate. The flow rate should ideally be restricted, e.g. by means of a flow regulator. This should be fitted on the inlet side, some distance away from the aerator.

The purpose of a flow regulator is to ensure that a defined, virtually constant flow rate is maintained, which is unaffected by pressure fluctuations to the greatest extent possible.

A NEOPERL® flow regulator comprises a precision control o-ring, a core and a housing (certain models). The gap between the o-ring and the teeth of the core is the opening through which the water flows. The opening may be inside or outside the o-ring depending on the model.

– Static state (no flow, no or low pressure) The o-ring is relaxed (position 1).

– Dynamic state (flow) As soon as water flows through the flow regulator, the o-ring becomes distorted and is pressed into the gaps between the teeth of the core. This reduces the size of the opening for the water (position 2).

The deformation of the o-ring increases as the pressure rises (position 3).

When the pressure decreases, the o-ring gradually returns to its original shape, thus increasing the size of the opening for the water (returning to position 2 and then to position 1).

They are available in diameters of 7 to 22 mm for flow rates of 0.25 to 100 l/min. You can choose between various designs with axial or radial seals. Special types are available upon request.

Low-pressure flow regulatorsSpecial flow regulators have been developed for low-pressure applications (0.25 to 4 bar). Unlike standard flow regulators, low-pres-sure flow regulators regulate the flow rate significantly below 1 bar.

FLOW REGULATORS – PRODUCT LINES

Metering liquidsexample: solenoid valveTime-controlled solenoid valves can be combined with pressure-compensating flow regula-tors, which maintain a virtually constant flow rate, to enable the accurate metering of liquids required for beverage dispensing machines and electronic faucets, for example.

Stream controlUse in water-saving products: the flow regulator controls the volume of water in the shower or at the sink, ensuring that less water flows. Comfort and convenience for the user is noticeably improved at the same time, as water continues to be virtually evenly distributed, even if several outlets are used at the same time (e.g. washrooms in public buildings).

Customised solutionsexample: water heaters/boilersFlow regulators maintain a constant flow of cold water to the water heater in spite of varying inlet pressures. This is a prerequisite for maintaining a constant temperature.

example: isolating valves A flow regulator may be fitted on the inlet or outlet side of an isolating valve, or in the ball valve itself. Certain isolating valves can be accessed in the closed position without having to drain the water from the system first. In this case, the flow regulator can be removed or replaced easily within the framework of maintenance work.Flow regulators in isolating valves offer a means of achieving constant control of the flow in downstream applications to the greatest extent possible.

Adjustable flow regulatorsAs the name suggests, the d-type flow regulator offers a means of adjusting the flow rate. The range of adjustment may be specified by the customer.It is used as a flow control valve in instanta-neous water heaters and other applications in order to compensate extreme differences in the temperature of the incoming water (e.g. winter / summer).

aLwayS LOOkiNg ahEaD.36 | Check valves

NEOPERL® CHECk VALVES

Check valves protect faucets and installation systems to prevent the backflow, backpressure or backsiphonage of used water into the pipeline system. They also guard against the potentially hazardous crossover flow be-tween hot and cold systems in thermostatic faucets, for example. This means that hot water cannot get into the cold water pipe or vice versa.Check valves are also available with integrated flow regulators. These not only protect against backflow, but also control the flow rate regardless of the prevailing pressure to the greatest extent possible.

Check valves | 37

38 | Check valves

The nominal diameter of the pipeline system is the deter-mining factor when choosing a check valve cartridge. The aim is to reduce the pressure loss through the check valve cartridge to a minimum (EN 13959). The pressure lost through a NEOPERL® check valve cartridge is very low. Open cage constructions have lower pressure loss than closed body constructions. The valves are available with different springs varying in stiffness in order to comply with international standards.

Operating principle

CHECk vALvES – CONSTRUCTION AND FUNCTION

Static state (no flow)The check valve is closed. The spring presses the cone into its seat and keeps the valve closed.

Dynamic state (flow)The pressure of the water is higher than the spring pres-sure. The cone is pushed out of its seat and allows the water to pass.

Backflow (flow in the opposite direction)If the direction of flow changes as a result of an increase in pressure downstream of the valve (backflow) or a reduction in pressure upstream of the valve (backsiphonage), the spring allows the cone to snap back into its original position, closing the inlet side of the valve to prevent water flowing back.

CHECk vALvES – APPLICATIONS

The use of check valves, or other suitable safety devices, is prescribed by standards and technical rules and regulations in many countries to prevent contamination of the drinking water. NEOPERL® check valves are used all over the world in their capacity as backflow safeguards that comply with the pertinent standards. The broad spectrum of check valves has also proven itself in many other fields of application.

– to prevent contamination of drinking water as a result of backflow, backpressure or backsiphonage

Example: a pull-out kitchen spray or shower head

– to prevent possible damage or contamination of sensitive equipment caused by backflow

Example: water meters, pumps or filters

– to hold water in a system or pipe to prevent it from running dry or to facilitate a restart

Example: pump systems

– to prevent crossover flow between systems with different line pressures Example: cold and hot water supplies in thermostatic mixers

– to minimise the risk of backflow or leakage in the event of a valve failure Example: a solenoid valve on the upstream side of an application

– to safeguard correct functioning in complex systems by ensuring that water only flows in one direction

Example: heating systems with multiple heating zones, booster pumps

– to prevent malfunctions caused by system pressure fluctuations in pressure-sensitive installations (unwanted discharge of water)

Example: a backflow preventer with aerated intermediate pressure chamber

dIvERTERS FOR BATHTUB FAUCETS

The main body and connector of a plastic diverter are made of high-quality plastic. The axle is made of either brass or plastic.

The diverter in a bathtub faucet switches the water stream to either the tub filler position or the shower hose. It has three main components – main body, a connector and an axle. The axle is made of brass or plastic. This gives rise to three possible material variants: brass diverters, plastic diverters and diverters using a mix of both materials (called

hybrid diverters). diverters for bathtub faucets are available in two sizes and either with automatic return to the tub filler position from 0.2 bar, or with a locking facility. They feature a self-retaining function, which becomes effective at the very low pressure level of 0.2 bar.

Flow regulator technology

There is an integrated flow regulator at the heart of every water-saving device. This offers a means of achieving a virtually constant stream of water, mostly regardless of the line pressure.

Each NEOPERL® flow regulator comprises a housing and a precision control o-ring made of rubber. This o-ring changes shape when water flows through it at higher pressure.

All of the products listed below are equipped with NEOPERL® flow regulator technology. Flow regulators are available in many different, colour-coded flow rates.

PCA® Aerators Apart from an attractive stream pattern, an aerator with integrated flow regulator also produces a virtually constant flow rate. PCA® aerators are available in nearly all product lines.
