Exploring Butterfly Type Slow Closing Check Valves in Fluid Control

With the rapid development of my country's economy, the demand for fluid control equipment in various industries is constantly increasing. As a new type of fluid control equipment, butterfly slow-closing check valve has gradually become an important part of the fluid control field because of its advantages such as simple structure, good sealing performance, fast opening and closing, and long service life. This paper aims to explore the application of butterfly slow-closing check valve in fluid control, in order to provide new ideas for the development of my country's fluid control field.

I. Structure and working principle of butterfly slow-closing check valve

(1). Structure

The butterfly slow-closing check valve is mainly composed of valve body, butterfly plate, sealing ring, spring, bearing and other components. The valve body is made of casting or welding process and has good mechanical properties and corrosion resistance; the butterfly plate is made of stainless steel or wear-resistant alloy material, which has good wear resistance and impact resistance; the sealing ring is made of rubber, polytetrafluoroethylene and other materials, which has good sealing performance; the spring and bearing play the role of supporting and adjusting the movement of the butterfly plate.

(2). Working principle

The working principle of the butterfly slow-closing check valve is that under the action of fluid pressure, the butterfly plate rotates in the valve body to realize the opening and closing of the valve. When the fluid flows forward, the butterfly plate opens under the action of fluid pressure and the fluid passes smoothly; when the fluid flows in the reverse direction, the butterfly plate closes quickly under the action of spring force to prevent the fluid from flowing back. At the same time, the butterfly plate adopts a slow closing design during the closing process, which effectively reduces the water hammer phenomenon and protects the pipeline system.

II. Advantages of butterfly slow closing check valve in fluid control

(1). Simple structure and easy installation

The butterfly slow closing check valve has a simple structure, light weight and easy installation. Compared with traditional check valves, the butterfly slow closing check valve does not require complex installation processes, saving installation time and cost.

(2). Good sealing performance

The butterfly slow closing check valve uses a sealing ring made of rubber, polytetrafluoroethylene and other materials, which has good sealing performance and effectively prevents medium leakage.

(3). Quick opening and closing, easy adjustment

The butterfly slow closing check valve adopts a butterfly plate rotating opening and closing, which is quick and easy to adjust. In an emergency, the valve can be quickly closed to prevent accidents.

(4). Prevent water hammer

The butterfly slow-closing check valve adopts a slow-closing design to effectively reduce water hammer and protect the pipeline system.

(5). Long service life

The butterfly slow-closing check valve is made of stainless steel or wear-resistant alloy materials, has good wear resistance and impact resistance, and has a long service life.

III. Application cases of butterfly slow-closing check valves in fluid control

(1). Case 1: Urban water supply network

In a certain urban water supply network project, a butterfly slow-closing check valve is used as a check device in the network. In actual operation, the butterfly slow-closing check valve exhibits good sealing performance, rapid opening and closing, and prevention of water hammer, ensuring the normal operation of the urban water supply network.

(2). Case 2: Power plant circulating water system

In a certain power plant circulating water system, a butterfly slow-closing check valve is used as a check device at the outlet of the circulating water pump. In actual application, the butterfly slow-closing check valve effectively prevents water hammer, reduces pump room noise, and improves the stability and safety of the circulating water system.
