Clack valves allow fluid to flow in one direction and prevent it from flowing back. They use a flapper valve that opens when the upstream pressure exceeds the cracking pressure. They are used in various industries and can be made of plastic or metal. The human body also has trip valves, such as heart valves. Clack control valves can be manually or automatically controlled to regulate fluid flow. They are used in water softening to maximize solution efficiency and conserve reagent usage.
A clack valve is a mechanical device that allows fluid to flow from one direction and at the same time prevents fluid from flowing back in the other direction. The basic mechanism for a clack valve involves an object that would allow and obstruct fluid whenever it flowed from a specific direction. A clack valve achieves this by using a flapper valve that opens when the upstream pressure of a fluid exceeds the minimum pressure required to open it, also known as the cracking pressure. The flapper valve makes a clicking sound every time it closes due to fluid flowing from the opposite direction, hence the name “trip valve”.
Clack valves are a type of check valve. They are found almost everywhere and perform numerous functions that are as varied as the materials from which they are made. Whether used for domestic or industrial purposes, clack valves can be made of plastic or metal alloy. The function of a clack valve can range from regulating the amount of water flowing from a faucet to sealing a leak in a gas line to supplying oil in a pipeline.
The human body also contains some form of trip valves. Heart valves are made of human tissue and look like flaps that help move blood along blood vessels. The valves perform a vital function by preventing blood regurgitation, a condition in which blood flows backwards, which can be fatal if not properly treated.
Clack valves tend to operate independently of human control, which is ideal for continuous fluid augmentation. There are times, however, when you need to use them to regulate fluid flow. For this purpose, clack control valves are used.
A clack control valve is different from regular clack valves because of the way the valves work. These valves can be controlled manually or using an automated machine. A controllable valve allows the operator to maintain a desired level of fluid from entering or leaving a container. It also helps regulate the speed and flow of a fluid flowing through a pipe.
One particular use of clack check valves is for water softening. The water softening process requires the use of a brine or chemical solution. These reagents are used to “regenerate” the resins used to soften the water. Using clack control valves to regulate the flow of reagents, water softeners maximize solution efficiency, minimize environmental impact, and conserve reagent usage.
