The compound vacuum gauge can also be used to determine the amount of suction in the line available for operating the air volume control. Most vacuum-operated AVC's require a minimum of 5-6 in. Hg during pump operation and a zero or slight pressure reading when the pump is stopped. 1, record 3, English, - vacuum%2Doperated%20air%20volume%20control

Le manovacuomètre sert également à déterminer si la dépression dans la canalisation est suffisante pour faire fonctionner le régulateur de volume d'air. La plupart des régulateurs de volume d'air par le vide requièrent une valeur minimum de 5 à 6 pouces Hg lorsque la pompe est en marche, et de zéro (0) ou proche de 0 lorsque la pompe est arrêtée. 1, record 3, French, - r%C3%A9gulateur%20de%20volume%20d%27air%20par%20le%20vide

Another air volume control commonly used for both shallow and deep well ejector pump service is the diaphragm type of the floatless construction.... This control dare not be used with reciprocating pumps. In service a small charge of air is put into the tank each time the pump stops, but only if air is needed. When the tank contains sufficient air no more is added as the air merely works back and forth in the control body. The location of this control is generally lower on the side of the tank because it does not use a float. 1, record 4, English, - diaphragm%20type%20air%20volume%20control

Un autre type de régulateur de volume d'air couramment en usage sur les pompes à hydro-éjecteur pour puits peu profonds ou profonds est le régulateur à membrane sans flotteur [...] Ce type est à déconseiller dans le cas des installations à pompe alternative. Chaque fois que la pompe s'arrête une faible charge d'air est admise dans le réservoir au besoin. Lorsque le réservoir contient suffisamment d'air, l'admission d'air est coupée et celui-ci ne fait que se comprimer et se détendre dans le corps du régulateur. Comme ce régulateur ne comporte pas de flotteur, il est généralement installé plus bas, sur le côté du réservoir. 1, record 4, French, - r%C3%A9gulateur%20%C3%A0%20membrane

Air Volume Controls. An automatic air volume control maintains the correct volume of air in a pressure tank and is essential to successful water system operation. Unless the correct amount of air is maintained in the tank it will be water-logged which works a hardship on the motor and controls, the same as a pressure tank of too small a size. 1, record 5, English, - air%20volume%20control

Régulateur de volume d'air. Un régulateur automatique de volume d'air sert à maintenir un volume d'air adéquat dans le réservoir hydropneumatique; il est donc essentiel au bon fonctionnement du réseau de distribution d'eau. Il importe de conserver un volume d'air suffisant dans le réservoir sinon le manque d'air imposera au moteur et à ses commandes le même genre de contrainte qu'un réservoir hydropneumatique trop petit. 1, record 5, French, - r%C3%A9gulateur%20de%20volume%20d%27air
