Check valve is a common fluid control equipment, its main working principle is to use the fluid's own force to control the direction of the fluid, to ensure that the fluid can only flow in one direction, to prevent it from flowing in the opposite direction. The following will introduce the working principle of the check valve in detail.
First, the basic structure of the check valve
Check valve is usually composed of valve body, valve flap, spring and other components. The valve body is the main part of the check valve, the valve flap is the key component to control the fluid flow, the spring is used to provide preload to the valve flap.
Second, the working principle of the check valve
When the fluid from the inlet end of the check valve to the outlet end of the flow, the force of the fluid will push the valve flap to open, so that the fluid can pass smoothly. When the fluid stops flowing, the valve flap will be closed due to the spring preload to prevent the fluid from flowing in the reverse direction.
Specifically, when the fluid pressure is lower than the pressure at the outlet, the valve closes automatically under the action of the spring preload, preventing the fluid from flowing in the opposite direction. This automatic closing feature enables the check valve to automatically prevent the reverse flow of fluid in the case of unmanned operation, thereby protecting the safe operation of equipment and pipelines.
In addition, the flap design of the check valve also takes into account the impact of the fluid and pressure changes. Under the impact of fluid, the valve flap can open and close flexibly to ensure the smoothness of fluid flow. At the same time, the sealing performance of the valve flap can also ensure that when the fluid stops flowing, effectively prevent fluid leakage.
Application Scenario
Check valves are widely used in various fluid control systems, such as water supply, chemical, petroleum, pharmaceutical and other fields. Its main role is to protect the equipment and pipeline from the damage of reverse fluid flow, to ensure the safe operation of the system.
Fourth, the summary
In general, check valves control the direction of the fluid by utilizing the force of the fluid itself to prevent it from flowing in the reverse direction. Its structure is simple, easy to operate, and can automatically prevent the reverse flow of fluid in the case of unmanned operation, to protect the safe operation of equipment and pipelines. In practice, check valves are widely used in various fluid control systems, providing an important guarantee for the safe operation of the system.
