| Abstract | ||
| Check valve or non-return valve is a commonly used component in fluid control systems, the function of the check valve is to allow the fluid to flow in one direction and prevent it from flowing backward in the opposite direction. There are many types of check valve that differs in structure, material, theory of operation, applications, installations constraints, etc. The swing check valve type has many advantages like lower pressure drop, high valve flow coefficient, ease of maintenance, etc. In this paper, the swing check valve type will be investigated using a new mathematical model that avoids the inaccuracy in explicit models and time consumption of evaluating different coefficients in implicit models. The present model is validated by comparing to experimental data. Investigation of the swing check valve is carried out in order to determine the vibration produced by its closing action and closing response. Also the effect of equipping the swing check valve with a torsion spring is investigated to figure out the spring effect on the valve induced vibration. | ||
