3 Points about Fire Pressure Reducing Valves

Today we share 3 points about fire pressure reducing valves as follows.

1. The use of pressure reducing valves to reduce pressure zoning water supply should comply with the following provisions.

(1) The performance of the pressure reducing valve used for fire fighting water supply should be safe and reliable, and should meet the requirements of fire fighting water supply.

(2) Fire pressure reducing valve should be selected according to the design flow and pressure of the fire water supply, and the design flow should be in the effective section of the pressure reducing valve flow pressure characteristic curve, and check at 150% of the design flow, the pressure reducing valve outlet dynamic pressure should not be less than 65% of the design value.

(3) Each water supply partition should have no less than two groups of pressure reducing valves, and each group of pressure reducing valves should be set up as a backup pressure reducing valve;

(4) Fire pressure reducing valves should only be set up on the one-way flow of water supply pipe, and should not be set up on the main water pipeline with two-way flow.

(5) The pressure reducing valve should be proportional pressure reducing valve, when more than 1.2MPa, it is appropriate to use the pilot operated pressure reducing valve.

(6) The pressure reducing valve should not be greater than 3:1 pressure ratio before and after the valve, and when the pressure reduction valve cannot meet the requirements, it can be used in series, but the series pressure reduction should not be greater than two levels, and the second level pressure reducing valve should be pilot operated, and the pressure difference before and after the valve should not exceed 0.40MPa.

(7) The safety valve should be set after the pressure reducing valve, and the opening pressure of the safety valve should meet the system safety, and should not affect the water supply safety of the system.

2. The setting of the pressure reducing valve should be in accordance with the following provisions.

(1) Pressure reducing valve should be set in front of the entrance of the alarm valve group, when connected to two or more alarm valve group, should set the backup pressure reducing valve.

(2) The pressure reducing valve should be set at the inlet of the filter, the diameter of the filter mesh should not be less than 4 mesh/cm²-5 mesh/cm², and the overflow area should not be less than 4 times the cross-sectional area of the pipe.

(3) The filter and pressure reducing valve should be set before and after the pressure gauge, the diameter of the dial of the pressure gauge should not be less than 100mm, and the maximum range should be 2 times the design pressure.

(4) The control valve should be set before the filter and after the pressure reducing valve.

(5) Pressure reducing valve should be set after the pressure reducing valve to test the drain valve.

(6) The pressure reducing valve should be set up with a flow detection test interface or flow meter.

(7) The pressure reducing valve installed vertically, the direction of water flow should be downward.

(8) Proportional pressure reducing valve should be installed vertically, adjustable pressure reducing valve should be installed horizontally.

(9) The pipe section connected to the pressure reducing valve should not have air plug, air resistance.

 

3. The acceptance of pressure reducing valve should meet the following requirements.

(1) The type, specification, design pressure and design flow of the pressure reducing valve should meet the design requirements.

(2) There should be a filter before the pressure reducing valve, and the filtering area and aperture of the filter should meet the design requirements.

(3) The pre-valve and post-valve static and dynamic pressure of the pressure reducing valve should meet the design requirements.

(4) The pressure reducing valve should have a pressure drainage pipe for testing, and the diameter of the pressure drainage pipe should not be less than 100mm; (5) The pressure reducing valve should not show a significant increase in noise or pipe wheezing at small flow rates, design flow rates and 150% of the design flow rates.

(6) The head loss of pressure reducing valve should be less than the design valve after the static pressure and dynamic pressure difference.

Features and Applications of Globe Valves

图片
Conventional globe valves may be used for isolation and throttling services. Although these valves exhibit slightly higher pressure drops than straight- through valves (e.g., gate, plug, ball, etc.), they may be used where the pressure drop through the valve is not a controlling factor. Globe valves  are extensively employed to control flow. The range of flow control, pressure drop, and duty must be considered in the design of the valve to avert premature failure and to assure satisfactory service. Valves subjected to high-differential pressure-throttling service require specially designed valve trim. Generally the maximum differential pressure across the valve disc should not exceed 20 percent of the maximum upstream pressure or 200 psi (1380 kPa), whichever is less. Valves with special trim may be designed for applications exceeding these differential pressure limits.   Forged steel A105 Globe valve socket flange end   Types of Globe Valves Tee Pattern globe valves have the lowest co

Types of Butterfly Valves and Their Functions

图片
Butterfly valves are versatile flow control devices widely used in various industries. They are available in different types, each designed to meet specific application requirements. Understanding the various types of butterfly valves and their functions can help in selecting the most suitable valve for a particular system. Let's explore the different   types of butterfly valves   and their functions in more detail: Concentric Butterfly Valves: Concentric butterfly valves are the most common type and feature a resilient seat with a metal disc centered on the valve stem. They offer excellent sealing capabilities and are suitable for a wide range of applications, including HVAC systems, water treatment plants, and general industrial processes. The concentric design provides a tight shut-off, and the resilient seat ensures reliable sealing even in low-pressure applications. Double Offset Butterfly Valves: Double offset butterfly valves have a slightly offset disc that enables a cam-li

Swing Check Valve vs. Check Valve

图片
Valves   are essential components of any piping system as they regulate the flow of fluids and gases. They come in various types, each designed for a specific purpose. Two common types of valves are the swing check valve and the check valve. In this article, we will explore the differences between these two valves and help you determine which one is best for your application. ​ Check Valve A  check valve  is a valve that allows fluid or gas to flow in only one direction. It has a closure element that opens and closes automatically in response to the pressure of the fluid or gas passing through the valve. When the fluid or gas flows in the correct direction, the closure element opens, allowing the fluid or gas to pass through the valve. When the fluid or gas tries to flow in the opposite direction, the closure element closes, preventing backflow. Check valves are commonly used in applications where backflow prevention is critical, such as in sewage systems, irrigation systems, and gas p
