NON-RETURN VALVLE

 FUNCTION OF NON-RETURN VALVE

A non-return valve, also known as a check valve, is a device designed to allow fluid to flow in only one direction while preventing backflow. Here’s a brief overview of its functions:

1. Prevent Backflow: It stops the reverse flow of fluid, ensuring that water or other fluids do not flow back into the system or source from which they came.

2. Protect Equipment: By preventing backflow, it protects pumps, pipes, and other equipment from damage that could be caused by reverse flow.

3. Maintain System Pressure: It helps maintain the correct pressure within a system by ensuring that fluid moves in the intended direction, preventing pressure loss due to backflow.

4. Ensure Safety and Efficiency: In various applications, such as water supply systems and sewage systems, it ensures safety and efficiency by avoiding contamination and maintaining proper fluid flow direction.

In summary, a non-return valve is essential for controlling the direction of fluid flow, protecting equipment, and maintaining system integrity.
