Question:

What are the differences between different check valves applications?

What are the differences between different check valves applications? For example, is the fire pump outlet swing check valve or a silent check valve? According to 35How to recognize single wall corrugated pipe and double wall corrugated pipe? Which is better?.What's the use of the silent check valve? And the bellow problem below, is there no answer?

Answer:

The application performance of the acoustic check valve only allows the medium to flow in one direction, and prevents flow in the direction. Usually the valve is automatically work, fluid pressure flow in one direction, the valve open; the opposite direction of fluid flow by gravity, fluid pressure and valve closing effect on the valve seat, thereby cutting off flow. Not suitable for medium containing solid particles and viscosity. The design of the check valve takes full account of the requirements of the use of the environment, and uses the inclined plate structure to achieve no vibration, no noise, stable operation, and ensure the quiet environment of the hotel and the residential environment, and has the effect of energy saving.
Swing check valve to rotate around the shaft, the fluid resistance is generally less than the lift check valve, which applies to the larger diameter of the occasion, the installation location restrictions, usually installed in horizontal pipelines, it applies with large caliber occasions. According to the number of valves can be divided into single swing type, double valve swing and multi valve swing type of three. Single swing check valves for medium and medium duty applications. Large diameter pipeline using single swing check valve, in order to reduce the water hammer pressure, it is best to use water hammer to reduce the pressure of the slow closing check valve. Double valve swing check valves are suitable for large and medium diameter pipelines. Double check swing check valve with small structure and light weight is a fast check valve. Multi disc swing check valve is suitable for large diameter pipeline
General pump station project, for the pump outlet check valve, the following principles should be observed;The outlet check valve shall be used when the diameter of the outlet pipe of the pump is smaller, that is, DN<50mm.The pipeline of the pump outlet pipe diameter DN is larger than 50mm, should be used in swing check valveSwing check valves can be installed horizontally or vertically.
