  • Patent number: 10352479
    Abstract: The present invention relates generally to a parallel cylinder-type check valve and, more particularly, to a parallel cylinder-type check valve in which two shock-absorbing dampers are connected in parallel to each other so as to absorb shock when a valve is closed, wherein the length of a rocker arm connected to any one shock-absorbing damper is adjusted to be longer according to the principle of a lever in order to provide a sufficient shock-absorbing effect. Also, the present invention relates to a parallel cylinder-type check valve, which is rapidly closed at a high speed at the time of the initial closing of the valve and is slowly closed at a low speed at the later closing of the valve by means of the parallel cylinder, thereby preventing noise and vibration, as well as preventing water hammer.

  • Patent number: 10253895
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a check valve and, more particularly, to a check valve comprising a main disk and a separate auxiliary disk, the main disk making a rapid closing operation, and the auxiliary disk, which has an area smaller than that of the main disk, making a slow closing operation, thereby reducing the velocity of a reverse flow inside a conduit, right before the disks are finally closed, and preventing a slam (a characteristic phenomenon wherein, when the disks are closed with a bang, an instantaneous increase in pressure wave raises the possibility of piping fracture and causes noise and vibration) of the disks and water hammer.

  • Publication number: 20180245582
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a water piping system, and more particularly, to a water piping system configured to reduce slam and water hammer of a check valve through delay of backflow of fluid by ejecting water stored in a pressure tank to a fluid forward direction at a high pressure when a pump in the water pipe is suddenly stopped, and through inducement of complete closure of the check valve by reducing a pressure applied to the check valve.

  • Publication number: 20180142808
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a water piping system. More particularly, it relates to a water piping system that can alleviate water hammer due to slamming of a check valve by reducing the pressure difference between the front end and the rear end of the check valve by supplying some of fluid at the rear side of the check valve to the front side of the check valve when a pump is stopped, and a method of controlling the water piping system. The present invention includes: a sub-pipe having both ends connected to a front side and a rear side of the check valve, respectively, and supplying some of fluid at the rear side of the check valve to the front side of the check valve to suppress negative pressure and low pressure that is generated at the front end of the check valve when the pump is stopped.

  • Publication number: 20180142450
    Abstract: Disclosed is a water piping system. More particularly, the present invention relates to a water piping system having a function to dampen the effects of water hammer and check valve slam at a sudden stoppage of a pump and relates to a tank connector therefor, in which the water piping system ejects a high pressure jet stream from a high pressure tank in the direction of a primary flow in a main pipeline, thereby deterring the backflow of pipeline water in the main pipeline and reducing the pressure of pipeline water against a check valve, which enables the check valve to be slowly closed.

  • Publication number: 20180128412
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a water piping system prevents degradation of water quality due to fluid remaining in a fuel tank for a long period of time and removes air and other impurities in a pressure tank and a pipe, and a method of controlling the same. The water piping system includes: a pump pressurizing fluid; a main pipe for delivering the fluid pressurized by the pump; a main valve disposed at an outlet port of the pump in the main pipe; a pressure tank connected to the main pipe; and a sub-pipe having a first end connected to a front side of the main valve of the main pipe and a second end connected to the pressure tank so that some of fluid pressurized and discharged from the pump is delivered to the pressure tank through the sub-pipe, thereby discharging substances in the pressure tank to the outside.
