CLA-VAL Valve built to last ! Stopped since 20th March due to Covid-19, the Geneva Fountain (Jet d’Eau) was put back in service last Thursday June 11th. Over 150 years old and the main attraction in Geneva; 500 l/s of water are jetted at 200 km/hr to a level of 140 meters by two 500 kW pumps. The two pumps, partially immersed in the lake under the Jet d’Eau itself, are joined in a single pipe under the water nozzle. Just before the water nozzle a CLA-VAL valve maintains a back pressure against the pumps to prevent cavitation when the pumps start. This CLA-VAL Series 138 valve is 350mm diameter. Its position is controlled by two solenoid valves. Installed at end of 1960s, the main valve is more than 50 years old!

Surviving the crisis and relaunching the post-crisis. The coronavirus has created two simultaneous global crisis: one health and the other economic. The reason is simple: to battle the first, it is necessary to "confine" people and therefore more or less "stop" consumption and production. As a consequence: the health system tests its capacity limits and the economy tests its survival limits.Interview of Hugo van Buel Managing Director of CLA-VAL Europe by Xavier Comtesse Manufacture Thinking, Article (in French) to read on:https://lnkd.in/dAhqdBh

Inspired by Swiss precision CLA-VAL goes beyond current limits with the new “Delta Pressure” motorized pilot. The exceptional motorized pilot does reach an unprecedent sensitivity of 5 cm pressure and manages high pressure up to 42 bar ! Moreover, the revolutionary design allows a manual hydraulic back up (or by-pass) in case of electrical failure. Very useful when high pressure does occur or for remote control reservoirs.
