[0031] Working principle of water hammer elimination box-type two-way pressure regulating tower:
[0032] During implementation, the pressure in the main pipeline 7 is P1, the pressure in the upper tower body 2 is P2, the pressure in the pressure relief valve control chamber is P3, and the area of the diaphragm 37 is larger than the area of the pressure relief valve disc 32.
[0033] 1. During normal operation, the pressure P1 in the main pipeline 7 is greater than the pressure P2 in the upper tower body 2. Due to the force of the weight 12, the pressure relief valve disc 32 is closed. The pressure relief pilot valve 4 is closed, the pressure P3 in the upper control chamber 38 is equal to the pressure P1 in the main pipeline 7, and the area of the diaphragm 37 is larger than that of the pressure relief valve disc 32. The pressure relief valve disc 32 disconnects the passage between the pressure relief pipeline 8 and the valve body 31.
[0034] 2. During the transient process of stopping the pump, the pressure in the main pipeline 7 drops. When the pressure P1 of the main pipeline 7 is lower than the pressure P2 of the upper tower body 2, the force acting on the water supply valve disc 11 is greater than the force of the weight 12, the water supply valve disc 11 opens, and the water in the upper tower body 2 is replenished into the main pipeline 7, preventing the negative pressure damage caused by the pressure drop of the main pipeline 7;
[0035] 3. When the water hammer returns, the pressure in the main pipeline 7 rises, and the pressure relief valve disc 32 closes under the force of the weight 12. When the pressure in the main pipeline 7 exceeds the set pressure, the pressure relief pilot valve 4 opens, and the pressure P3 in the upper control chamber 38 is approximately equal to 0. The pressure relief valve disc 32 opens under the pressure upstream of the valve, releasing excess medium and preventing a destructive pressure rise in the main pipeline 7.
[0036] 4. When the pressure in the main pipeline 7 returns to normal, the pressure relief pilot valve 4 closes, and the water in the main pipeline 7 enters the upper control chamber 38. The pressure P3 in the upper control chamber 38 equals the pressure P1 in the main pipeline 7. The area of the diaphragm 37 is larger than the area of the pressure relief valve disc 32. The pressure relief valve disc 32 disconnects the passage between the pressure relief pipeline 8 and the valve body 31. At this time, the water hammer is eliminated and the box-type bidirectional pressure regulating tower returns to its initial state.
[0037] 5. The pressure value for starting water replenishment can be achieved by adjusting the force of the weight 12 and the liquid level of the upper tower body 2. The smaller the force of the weight 12, the higher the liquid level of the upper tower body 2, and the greater the pressure value for starting water replenishment; the greater the force of the weight 12, the lower the liquid level of the upper tower body 2, and the smaller the pressure value for starting water replenishment;
[0038] 6. The relief pressure value can be achieved by adjusting the spring 43 of the pressure relief pilot valve 4. The greater the force of the spring 43, the greater the relief pressure value, and the smaller the force of the spring 43, the smaller the relief pressure value;
[0039] 7. When the initially designed water replenishment volume is insufficient, it can be compensated by increasing the volume of the water tank 5 connected to the upper tower body 2 of the box-type two-way pressure regulating tower to eliminate water hammer;
[0040] 8. When the main pipeline 7 is over-pressured and the discharged water volume exceeds the loading capacity of the upper tower body 2 and the water tank 5 of the water hammer elimination box-type two-way pressure regulating tower, the excess water can be discharged through the drain pipe 6.
[0041] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
