How does a check valve work?
A check valve is a component with a relatively simple design that boasts high reliability in terms of its operation. It’s a self-acting device, meaning it doesn’t require connection to other control systems to function properly. Its operation relies mainly on utilizing pressure differentials that occur on the throttling element, leading to the valve’s opening or closing. However, this occurs only when a certain threshold pressure value is exceeded. Some check valve models are additionally equipped with elements designed to expedite the valve’s opening and closing processes. These could be, for example, springs that assist the overall operation of the component. Such valves are referred to as pressure-loaded valves.
Plate Check Valve – Characteristics
Wafer plate check valves and threaded plate check valves are among the most popular types of check valves, characterized by their closing element. This element typically consists of a centrally positioned plate pressed by a spring. Thanks to their relatively simple design, they ensure high efficiency and reliability. Moreover, they are resistant to mechanical damage and other adverse factors that may occur during the flow of various fluids in a network. Plate check valves are an integral part of any installation, safeguarding other components of the system, including pumps. When choosing this type of valve, it’s important to carefully review its specifications and purpose to ensure it effectively performs its function within the installation. Key considerations include the medium it will interact with, the flow rate, and pressure losses.
