The role of check valves in potable water system projects is undeniable. Check valves permit the fluid flow only in one direction. The purpose of using check valves is the prevention of fluid backflow in systems. There are different types of check valves used in multiple applications and nozzle check valves are one of them. You can stay with us and go through this blog to unveil a lot about nozzle check valves.
A snippet into nozzle check valves:
Nozzle check valves are a kind of non-slam check valve offering high performance to users. Nozzle check valves are self-actuating devices to regulate fluid flow. It is the most reliable NRV (non-return valves) which are specially designed for demanding applications. This type of check valve reacts instantly to the highest deceleration rates but with “non-slamming” performance and, it lessens the water hammer occurring in reverse water flow conditions. While compared to other types of check valves, nozzle check valves are known to provide high flow and super energy efficiency.
Generally, nozzle check valves come with the choice of the valve body, springs, and inside orifice design which is optimized mainly for fluid flow conditions. Nozzle check valves also come with an in-built diffuser that can help in recovering head losses, dissimilar to NRV (non-return valves) and lessen energy consumption. One of the most important features of the nozzle check valve feature – is spring assisted with very short disc action and, it closes the nozzle check valves in just a few seconds. It is a vital function which aids in protecting pipework, costly pumping etc.
Why are nozzle check valves used in potable water transmission systems?
Nozzle check valves are used for effective prevention of reverse water flow. When we talk about potable water distribution or transmission systems, nozzle check valves assist in warding off treated water to flow back into water reservoirs which are not treated. Nozzle check valves are used to prevent the mixing of two different media between two water reservoirs.
Know some fundamentals about nozzle check valves:
Nozzle check valves are constructed especially for conditions where fluid (water) is pumped in low-pressure or intermittent fluid flow. The operation of nozzle check valves is meant to close fast and silently at the time of either “no-flow periods” or low pressure. Most potable water system projects deploy nozzle check valves to reliably avoid water from flowing in the opposite direction.
Dutco Tennant LLC is glad to announce its presence at WETEX Exhibition 2022. We will be showcasing the best solutions for potable water projects which also includes nozzle check valves. If you want to explore such solutions, you are cordially invited to Hall: H7, Stand no. 7B12 from September 27th to 29th 2022. If you haven’t registered yet, then register now only.
Some prominent applications of nozzle check valves?
Nozzle check valves are used in several applications. Mostly, they are used for potable water projects. Apart from that, these valves are also used in numerous other settings. They are one of the necessary devices used to reduce water hammer in plumbing systems as nozzle check valves are ideal for backflow prevention in cooling towers, processing industries, mine dewatering etc. You can contact one of the top suppliers of nozzle check valves in the Middle East and GCC region.
What are the benefits of using nozzle check valves?
Have a glance at the benefits of installing essential nozzle check valves:
-
Non-slamming feature
Nozzle check valves have very high economic efficiency. It results in low-pressure losses. It helps in keeping the design completely free of maintenance. Nozzle check valves close in a few seconds slam-free.
-
Saves energy
Most systems work at low fluid flow rates for minimizing the loss in pressure and maximising your water plant project’s efficiency. For achieving this, nozzle check valves can be completely opened by guaranteeing a very low-pressure drop.
-
Installation can be in the horizontal or vertical direction
Due to the lightweight discs, it will permit nozzle check valves to efficiently maintain the highest performance, be it installed horizontally or vertically.
Conclusion
We hope now you have a clear view of nozzle check valves. These valves are constructed for fluid to get pumped in intermittent flow or low pressure. If you want to prevent water from flowing in the reverse direction, then usage of nozzle check valves can be the wisest decision. Get in touch with one of the reputed suppliers of nozzle check valves.
