AcornVac Pneumatic Manual Valve Control System

Product Description

Advantages Disadvantages
No Electrical Power Required No Visibility
Lowest Initial Cost Limited Adjustability
  No Extra Functionality or Control

The AcornVac pneumatic control system is a low cost alternative to vacuum valve operation and control. The system includes pneumatic controllers which are used to operate the waste extraction valve. The valve controller is non-networked and is powered by vacuum pressure from the system, and thus requires no electrical service.

Features

  • Low cost

  • Vacuum powered – no electrical service required

  • Pneumatic Controller includes manual activation button and adjustable valve control timing

How it works

When the flush pushbutton on a toilet is pressed or when a change in pressure occurs at the accumulator, a pneumatic signal is received at the Controller. When this signal is received, the Controller uses vacuum from the system to open the waste extraction valve for a pre-set period of time sufficient to remove the waste from the accumulator or the toilet. Once the cycle is complete, the waste extraction valve closes. The Pneumatic Controller includes a timing mechanism that can be field adjusted.
