Valve that allows the flow of liquid but prevent air escaping

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the need for a valve that allows liquid flow while preventing air from escaping a sealed container. Participants confirm that a one-way valve is suitable for this application, as it permits liquid to flow in one direction while blocking air ingress. Additionally, the use of active elements, such as sensors, can automate the valve operation, enhancing functionality. Automatic drain valves with float mechanisms are recommended for managing water levels in pressurized systems.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of one-way valve mechanics
  • Familiarity with automatic drain valves
  • Knowledge of fluid dynamics in sealed systems
  • Basic principles of sensor technology for automation
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the specifications of one-way valves for liquid applications
  • Explore automatic drain valve options and their installation requirements
  • Learn about fluid dynamics in pressurized systems
  • Investigate sensor technologies suitable for valve automation
USEFUL FOR

Engineers, fluid mechanics specialists, and anyone involved in designing systems that manage liquid flow and air pressure in sealed environments.

Hello,
I do not really know if this is the right place to post this message ... if it's not then I'm sorry
I am looking for a valve that allows the flow of liquid but prevent air escaping out form let's say a sealed container ...
Is there such a thing?
 
Engineering news on Phys.org
Liquid and air in the same direction, at the same pressure?
Can you use some active elements?
 
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)
What do you mean by active elements ?
 
So you just need a 1-way valve? Those exist.

Active elements would be something like a sensor to detect water and open the valve based on that sensor.
 
Automatic drain valves are available that mount below a compressed air reservoir. They have a float supporting a needle valve.
When water builds up in the lower float chamber, the needle valve at the bottom lifts and the water is vented by air pressure.
