General Description
The 9100 Series ARC provides reliable,
economical protection for centrifugal
pumps against the serious damage from
overheating and instability that can result
from even a few minutes of low flow. By
providing recirculation flow to the inlet of
the pump, the 9100 ARC assures a
minimum flow for stable pump operation.
The modulating 9100 ARC creates
operating economies in several ways. The
ARC recirculates only the flow required to
assure a minimum flow through the pump
at all times. Under full process main flow
demand, recirculation flow is not required.
But as the process main flow demand
decreases, recirculation becomes
necessary. Unlike continuous recirculation,
the ARC responds directly to this need.
The use of an ARC valve eliminates the
need to oversize the pump and prime
mover. Such oversizing adds significantly
to the capital cost of the pump and prime
mover as well as to the cost of energy
needed for operation.
An ARC valve also saves most of the costs
of a conventional multiple component flow
control loop because the valve itself is a
completely self-contained system: it is a
flow sensing orifice; a check valve; a
recirculation control valve and a pressure
letdown device. As a self-contained
system, it requires no instrument signal or
power source, or any of the associated
maintenance.
Manufactured and tested in the U.S.A.,
the 9100 ARC is one of an entire family
of ARC (automatic recirculation control)
valves. These valves have delivered
consistent and reliable service for over
three decades. In the U.S.A. alone, more
than 15,000 ARC valves have been
installed in power plants, refineries, and
chemical plants.

Flow
The cost of the electricity consumed in continuous recirculation cooling is significantly higher than many people realize. For example, the
manufacturer of a 1200 gpm pump with a discharge head of 500 feet, may require 400 gpm recirculated flow to keep it cool (Figure 4).
Continuously pumping 400 gpm against a 500-foot head requires 65 horsepower. In a 10/kwh power cost area, total annual cost savings
using an ARC valve would be $48,000 (Figure 5).

How to order
Use the application data form from the
website http://sizing.tycovalves.com
or provide data necessary for selection and
sizing of a valve to meet the protection
requirements as specified by the pump
manufacturer. Each valve is selected to
meet the specific application requirements.
For full information contact Yarway
Corporation.
How to specify
Centrifugal pump minimum flow protection
shall be provided by a self-contained
multi-function valve which requires no
external source of power. The valve shall
provide the functions of:
1. Spring loaded check valve to prevent
pump damage from reverse flow.
2. Flow sensor that will activate bypass
valve at the specified minimum flow.
3. Bypass flow control valve, sized to
provide the minimum required pump
flow.
4. Pressure reducing device to effectively
reduce high pump discharge pressures
to low receiver tank/sump pressures.
Use the Tyco Valves & Controls web-based
Yarway ARC sizing program. Register at
http://sizing.tycovalves.com
