SUMMARY

The discussion centers around the need for a one-way valve that allows liquid flow in one direction while preventing air flow under pressure in the opposite direction. Participants suggest various types of valves including check valves, ball valves, clack valves, and non-return valves. A specific solution involves using a floating ball on top of an orifice to prevent air backflow while allowing liquid to flow back under certain conditions. The conversation highlights the necessity for active control features, such as sensors, to effectively manage the flow and prevent air from entering the tank.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of check valves and their applications
  • Knowledge of fluid dynamics and pressure systems
  • Familiarity with active control systems in valve technology
  • Basic principles of gravity flow in liquid systems
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the design and functionality of check valves with resilient seats
  • Explore active control valve systems and their components
  • Learn about the mechanics of floating ball valves and their applications
  • Investigate sensor technologies for fluid detection in valve systems
USEFUL FOR

Engineers, fluid mechanics specialists, and anyone involved in designing or implementing fluid control systems, particularly those requiring specific backflow prevention measures.

Is there one way valve that allows a liquid flow in one direction and prevent air flow (under pressure) in the other direction?

Thanks for any help ...
 
Engineering news on Phys.org
You could just look this up .

I'll give you some keywords :

Check valve
One way valve
Ball valve
Clack valve
Non return valve
 
There are check valves with resilient seats which will accomplish this.
 
Does the valve have to differentiate between liquid and gas (air)? does it have to allow liquid to flow back but not air?

if it can allow liquid to flow back but not air, depending on the pressure you could have a floating ball on top of an orifice, when the flow reverses the ball will stay floating until the liquid level drops, at which point the ball will cover and seal the orifice. if neither liquid or gas need to be allowed to backflow, pretty much any of the valves Nidium listed would work fine.
 
Here we go again, trying to help people that refuse to post enough information to actually have a possibility of getting appropriate answers from forum members.

@marokay

You have asked this question previously on PF and on at least one other forum . Each time you have had useful answers .

This seems to be your actual problem :

The water is in a tank and I want them to flow through a pipe at the bottom of the tank (by the force of gravity)
Now I do not want that air will enters the tank back form the pipe while the pipe is open (in the pipe can be pressurised air)

It seems from this brief description that you want a valve with some active control features rather than one which is just self acting . This has been suggested before :

Active elements would be something like a sensor to detect water and open the valve based on that sensor.

If you would like to describe your problem more completely we could probably give you some better answers .

Marokay - you asked virtually the same question on this forum over a year ago. Have you considered giving up on the project?
