Can a Valve Create a Time Lag and Prevent Water Mixing in a Pipe System?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the need for a valve system that creates a time lag between water exiting and entering a pipe system, specifically involving a thermostatic valve at the outlet and a gravity-fed inlet valve. Participants suggest contacting valve manufacturers or resellers for tailored solutions that can effectively separate the two water streams to prevent mixing. The emphasis is on practical communication with industry professionals to design an appropriate system.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of fluid dynamics in pipe systems
  • Knowledge of valve types, specifically thermostatic and gravity-fed valves
  • Familiarity with water flow control mechanisms
  • Basic principles of hydraulic systems
NEXT STEPS
  • Research specific valve types that can create time delays in fluid systems
  • Explore hydraulic control systems for managing water flow
  • Investigate manufacturers of specialized valves for water separation
  • Learn about the design considerations for gravity-fed systems
USEFUL FOR

Engineers, plumbing professionals, and anyone involved in designing or optimizing water flow systems in industrial or residential applications.

Hi guys,

Right, here is the situation. Consider a long coil of pipe containing water with a thermostatic valve at the outlet and a valve (this is the valve in question) at the inlet. The inlet is gravity fed by a large reservoir of water and the question is this: as the water leaves the tubing through the outlet, i need the water from the reservoir to gradually fill the tubing automatically but i need to include a time lag between the water leaving and the water entering.
Is there a valve or system which i can use which will be able to separate out the two streams of water (leaving and the water coming in) so that they don't mix?

Any ideas, suggestions welcome!

Thanks

The best way is to pick up your phone give a call to valve reseller or any manufactrure and discuss in detail. This is the best way. that is the way how things gets designed
