BERMAD Irrigation Blog

Our recent webinar discussed "Digitalization and Modernization of Irrigation Infrastructure in Oristano, Italy". The session explored a transformation project in Sardinia, focusing on the upgrading process of BERMAD products that have been operating reliably for 30 years. By implementing these upgrades, the products and the entire system will

Irrigation infrastructure modernization project in Alcolea de Cinca, Spain
Irrigation modernization is imperative for optimizing agricultural productivity, especially in regions facing water scarcity and burgeoning demand. The Santa Cruz de Alcolea Irrigation Consortium embarked on a comprehensive modernization initiative in 2016, forming the UTE Alcolea to spearhead this transformation.

When we need to limit the flow using hydraulic methods (as opposed to electronic methods), the flow is not continuously measured & sampled (only during setting). Therefore, pilots are designed to hydraulically sense the differential of pressure or force/velocity associated with the varying flow.

How can two pilots operate on one hydraulic control valve?
Recently, one of our customers asked how is it possible for two pilots to operate on the same hydraulic control valve without interfering with each other's operation. In this short blog, we will describe how hydraulic flow control valves with two pilots operate.

What are Flow Control Valves?
Flow control valves are designed to maintain a constant pre-set maximum flow regardless of fluctuating demand or varying system pressure. Flow limiting is required at the outlets from main systems to consumers like secondary systems (main line to hydrant line; hydrant line to distribution line), reservoirs, etc. in order to protect the supplying system from over consumption.
