What is vertical check valve

Vertical check valve: Due to the pressure of the medium at the inlet end of the pipeline, the valve can be opened or

closed by overcoming the spring resistance. When the medium pressure at the inlet end is lower than that at the outlet end, the spring pushes the valve core to the valve seat to close the valve, preventing the medium from flowing back, so it plays a role of check. Vertical check valves are widely used in chemical, liquefied petroleum gas, fluid and other industries. According to the structure of the check valve, it can be divided into three types: lift check valve, swing check valve and butterfly check valve.

Introduction of vertical check valve:
Vertical check valve refers to the valve that automatically opens and closes the disc depending on the flow of the medium itself to prevent the medium from flowing back. It is also called check valve, one-way valve, reverse flow valve, and back pressure valve. Check valve is a kind of automatic valve, its main function is to prevent the back flow of the medium, prevent the pump and drive motor from reversing, and discharge the container medium. Check valves can also be used to supply pipelines for auxiliary systems whose pressure may rise above the system pressure. Check valves can be divided into swing check valves (rotating according to the center of gravity) and lift check valves (moving along the axis).

The function of this type of valve is to only allow the medium to flow in one direction and to prevent the flow of direction. Usually this kind of valve works automatically. Under the action of the fluid pressure flowing in one direction, the valve flap opens; when the fluid flows in the opposite direction, the fluid pressure and the self-coincidence of the valve flap act on the valve seat, thereby cutting off the flow.

Among them, internal thread check valve and butterfly check valve belong to this type of valve, which includes swing check valve and lift check valve. The swing check valve has a hinge mechanism and a valve disc like a door that rests freely on the inclined valve seat surface. In order to ensure that the valve disc can reach the proper position of the valve seat surface every time, the valve disc is designed in a hinge mechanism so that the valve disc has enough space for turning and makes the valve disc come into contact with the valve seat truly and comprehensively. The valve clack can be made of metal, or inlaid with leather, rubber, or synthetic covering, depending on the performance requirements. When the swing check valve is fully opened, the fluid pressure is almost unimpeded, so the pressure drop through the valve is relatively small. The disc of the lift check valve is located on the sealing surface of the valve seat on the valve body. Except that the disc can be raised and lowered freely, the rest of the valve is like a shut-off valve. The fluid pressure lifts the disc from the seat sealing surface, and the backflow of the medium causes the disc to fall back onto the seat and cut off the flow. According to the conditions of use, the valve disc can be an all-metal structure, or it can be in the form of a rubber pad or a rubber ring embedded in the disc holder. Like a shut-off valve, the passage of fluid through the lift check valve is also narrow, so the pressure drop through the lift check valve is larger than that of the swing check valve, and the flow rate of the swing check valve is restricted Rarely.

Industry development prospects of check valve

China’s check valve industry chain is numerous, but it is not a powerful valve country. Generally speaking, my

8 tilting-disc-swing-check-valve-3

country has entered the ranks of the world’s valve powers, but in terms of product quality, there is still a long gap between my country and the valve powers. The industry’s low concentration of production, low R&D capabilities for high-end products, and low manufacturing technology in the valve industry still exist, and the import and export trade deficit continues to expand.

The next few years will be a period of high-speed shock in the valve industry. The direct consequence of this high-speed shock is the expansion of the polarization trend in the valve cabinet brand camp. It is expected that there will not be so many valve companies that can really survive on the market in the next few years. But this kind of high-speed shock in the valve industry will bring huge opportunities, and the result of the shock will make the market operation more rational.

The road to localization of high-end valves is extremely bumpy. Basic parts have become a shortcoming restricting the development of my country’s manufacturing industry towards high-end. During the 12th Five-Year Plan period, the government will continue to increase the localization of high-end equipment parts. Here we select several representative valves in key development industries mentioned in the “Implementation Plan” for the feasibility

analysis of import substitution. From the analysis, we can see that the feasibility of valve import substitution in various sub-sectors is very different, and high-end valves urgently need more policy guidance and scientific research support.

The valve industry plays a very important role in the development of the national economy as an important part of preparing for the manufacturing industry. As there is still a certain gap between the level of China’s domestic valve manufacturing industry and the international advanced level, many key valves with high parameters, high temperature and pressure, and high pounds have been dependent on imports. In order to promote the localization of valves, the State Council issued the “About Accelerating Revitalization After the “Several Opinions on the Equipment Manufacturing Industry”, the relevant state departments have made a series of major deployments in accordance with the country’s requirements for the localization of major equipment. The National Development and Reform Commission led the China Machinery Industry Federation and the China General Machinery Industry Association. Deployed and formulated valve localization plans for major equipment in related fields, and coordinated with relevant departments many times. Nowadays, valve localization has reached a consensus in the domestic valve industry.

Actively adopt international standards for product design; absorb foreign excellent design structures; product testing and performance inspection are carried out in strict accordance with international standards; absorb foreign production process experience and focus on the research and promotion of new materials; understand the technology of imported high-parameter valve products Parameters and working conditions are the ways to speed up the process of localization, promote the continuous update of valve products, and fully realize the localization of valves.

With the acceleration of the restructuring of the valve industry, the future industry will be a competition between valve product quality and safety and product brands. Products will develop in the direction of high technology, high parameters, strong corrosion resistance, and long life. Only through continuous technological innovation, development New products and technological transformation can gradually improve the technical level of products, meet the needs of domestic equipment, and fully realize the localization of valves. Under the huge demand environment, my country’s valve manufacturing industry is bound to present a better development prospect.

Installation method and precautions of check valve

Check valve installation method:
1. Swing check valve: The disc of the swing check valve is disc-shaped and rotates around the shaft of the valve seat

double-wing-check-valve-3

passage. Because the inner passage of the valve is streamlined, the flow resistance is smaller than that of the lift check valve. It is suitable for large-caliber occasions where the flow rate is low and the flow does not change frequently, but it is not suitable for pulsating flow, and its sealing performance is not as good as the lifting type. Swing check valves are divided into three types: single, double and multiple valves. These three types are mainly classified according to the valve diameter. The purpose is to prevent the medium from stopping or flowing backwards and weaken the hydraulic shock.

2. Lifting check valve: a check valve whose disc slides along the vertical centerline of the valve body. The lifting check valve can only be installed on a horizontal pipeline. The disc can be used on a high-pressure small-diameter check valve. . The valve body shape of the lift check valve is the same as the stop valve (can be used in common with the stop valve), so its fluid resistance coefficient is relatively large. Its structure is similar to the stop valve, and the valve body and disc are the same as the stop valve. The upper part of the valve disc and the lower part of the valve cover are processed with guide sleeves. The disc guide can be lifted and lowered freely in the valve guide sleeve. When the medium flows downstream, the disc opens by the thrust of the medium. When the medium stops flowing, the disc depends on its own It falls on the valve seat to prevent the medium from flowing backward. The direction of the medium inlet and outlet channel of the straight-through lift check valve is perpendicular to the direction of the valve seat channel; the vertical lift check valve has the same direction of the medium inlet and outlet channels as the valve seat channel, and its flow resistance is smaller than that of the straight-through type.

3. Disc check valve: a check valve with the disc rotating around the pin shaft in the valve seat. The disc check valve has a simple structure and can only be installed on a horizontal pipeline, with poor sealing performance.

4. In-line check valve: a valve with the valve flap sliding along the centerline of the valve body. In-line check valve is a new type of valve. It is small in size, light in weight, and good in processing technology. It is one of the development directions of check valves. However, the fluid resistance coefficient is slightly larger than that of the swing check valve.

5. Compression check valve: This valve is used as a boiler feed water and steam shut-off valve. It has a comprehensive function of lift check valve and stop valve or angle valve.

In addition, there are some check valves that are not suitable for pump outlet installation, such as bottom valve, spring type, Y type, etc.

Precautions
1. Do not allow the check valve to bear weight in the piping system. Large check valves should be independently supported so that they are not affected by the pressure generated by the piping system.

2. When installing, pay attention to the direction of medium flow should be consistent with the direction of the arrow marked on the valve body.

3. Lifting vertical flap check valve should be installed on the vertical pipeline.

4. Lifting horizontal flap check valve should be installed on the horizontal pipeline.
