South American Valve is a top Non Slam Check valve supplier in Brazil. A Non-Slam Check Valve is a type of check valve designed to prevent water hammer, a phenomenon characterized by the sudden pressure surge or wave caused when a fluid in motion is forced to stop or change direction abruptly. Traditional check valves can contribute to water hammer due to their tendency to slam shut when the flow reverses, leading to loud noises and potential damage to the piping system. Non-Slam Check Valves address this issue by closing more gradually, using mechanisms such as a spring-loaded disc or a specially designed internal structure that cushions the closing action.
Their efficient design minimizes pressure loss, enhancing the overall performance of fluid systems. These valves are also known for their low maintenance requirements due to their robust construction and fewer moving parts, leading to longer service life and reduced downtime. In critical applications where fluid flow must be consistently managed without interruptions, such as in power plants and chemical processing facilities, Non-Slam Check Valves provide a reliable solution. Their versatility and efficiency make them a preferred choice for engineers and system designers looking to optimize fluid control and ensure system integrity.
What is the difference between a silent check valve and a non-slam check valve?
Silent check valves, also known as non-slam check valves and spring-assisted check valves reduce or eliminate water hammer and its effects. Water hammer refers to the high-pressure shock waves that occur when the flow of fluid abruptly stops (due to pump shut down or a valve disc quickly closing) in a piping system.
