Application
The 72700 valve is a check valve that allows the fluid to flow through it only in one direction.
These valves are normally used to prevent the loss of prime of a pump and to avoid water hammer. The valve is widely used in water loops.
Operating principle
The check valve opens when the pressure of the fluid exceeds the cracking pressure exerted by the spring. When the two pressures are compensated, the valve closes. A higher counterpressure closes the valve.
When there are two pumps operating alternately, the check valves are installed at the outlet of each pump to prevent the backflow when the pump is stopped. The obturation shaft is provided with a perforation for minimum circulation flow to avoid water stagnancy.
