Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around the inquiry about a one-way valve that allows liquid to flow in one direction while preventing air flow (under pressure) in the opposite direction. The scope includes technical specifications and potential designs for such a valve.

Discussion Character

  • Technical explanation, Debate/contested

Main Points Raised

  • One participant inquires about the existence of a valve that allows liquid flow but prevents air flow under pressure.
  • Another participant suggests searching for terms like check valve, one-way valve, ball valve, clack valve, and non-return valve as potential solutions.
  • A participant mentions that check valves with resilient seats could fulfill the requirement of preventing air flow while allowing liquid flow.
  • There is a question about whether the valve needs to differentiate between liquid and gas, proposing a design with a floating ball that seals an orifice when liquid flow reverses.
  • A participant expresses frustration about the lack of detailed information provided by the original poster, suggesting that more context is needed for appropriate answers.
  • Another participant notes that the original poster has asked similar questions in the past, indicating a recurring issue with the project and suggesting the need for active control features in the valve design.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants express differing views on the requirements for the valve, particularly regarding the need to differentiate between liquid and gas. There is no consensus on a specific solution, and the discussion remains unresolved.

Contextual Notes

Some limitations include the lack of detailed specifications from the original poster and the potential need for active control mechanisms, which have not been fully explored in the discussion.

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?
