The foot valve is a one-way valve installed at the bottom of the pump suction pipe. It is mainly used to prevent the liquid from flowing back when the pump stops working, keep the suction pipe full of liquid, and avoid the pump's "idle" or "air binding" phenomenon. The following is a detailed introduction to the foot valve:
1. Structure and working principle
- Structure:
- Valve body: usually made of cast iron, stainless steel or plastic, corrosion-resistant.
- Valve disc (valve disc): automatic opening and closing by spring or deadweight.
- Filter: prevent impurities from entering the pipeline and protect the pump body.
- Working principle:
- When the pump starts: the valve disc opens under negative pressure, and the liquid is sucked into the pipeline.
- When the pump stops: the valve disc closes due to deadweight or spring force, preventing the liquid from flowing back and maintaining the suction pipe full of liquid.
2. Main types
- Classification by design:
- Single-flap foot valve: simple structure, relying on the deadweight of the valve disc to seal.
- Double disc bottom valve: better sealing, suitable for high head or corrosive media.
- By connection method:
- Flange connection, threaded connection, welding, etc.
3. Application scenarios
- Centrifugal pump system: ensure that the pump can self-prime normally (such as farmland irrigation, fire protection system).
- Tank truck/storage tank: prevent medium backflow.
- Chemical/water treatment: corrosion-resistant material (such as PVC, stainless steel) bottom valve is used for corrosive liquids.
4. Advantages and disadvantages
- Advantages:
- Avoid frequent water injection of the pump and improve efficiency.
- Prevent water hammer effect and protect pipelines.
