Although an ARV would be ideal, for the small application and budget it cannot be justified. After doing some thinking about the most fool proof way to provide a constant 3 bar pressure in the valve test piece I have decided to use a manual globe valve in the minimum flow spillback loop as...
Thank you for all the responses
Bimir/ LittleInch - Although I have no experience in designing recirculation loops, from reading it does not seem to difficult. Ie size an orifice to set the pressure in the loop equal to 3 bar; which will provide a steady 3 bar pressure to the valve test piece...
bimir - the test unit is already in place, however I am to design a water recirculation system to fill the valves either in the test unit, or larger flanged up valves.
Ie water into valve from tank, down to sump, and a submersible sump pump back to the original tank. The design I am currently...
Thanks for all replies.
Inevitably if the system fails it will be my responsibility.
Additionally the water system has to produce a steady pressure of 3 bar for valve seat testing. I would imagine an accumulator would have the advantage of producing a more steady state flow to the valve test...
Hi Artisi, thanks for replying!
I should mention that I am designing a complete new system and only currently in design stage. Ie test facility not in operation and I am still to obtain components.
The requirements are approx. 10 gpm and relatively low pressure (5 bar).
The water system will...
Hi all,
I am placement student completing a project for a valve testing facility, where a water system is to fill up valves at low pressure (3-5 bar). The water comes from a large tank through a pump and enters a flanged valve (closed system).
My question is whether running a centrifugal pump...
I am a mech eng placement student currently designing a water recirculation system for a valve testing facility.
The system is a low pressure system (3-4 bar) where water is to come from a primary tank to a pump and fill up a flanged valve to 3-4 bar.
The water is then directed to a sump...
