What is Lift Check Valve?

 

The primary function of a check valve is to automatically close and prevent reverse flow, safeguarding against damage caused by liquids passing through the pipe in the wrong direction. Lift Check Valves prevent reverse flow or backflow of liquid and ensuring smooth, uninterrupted flow through the system.

 

The operation of a lift check valve is entirely automated, relying on gravity and media pressure to work.

 

Lift Check Valves fluid flow must always enter below the seat. As the flow enters and pressure increases, the disk will begin to lift off the seat, allowing flow to pass through the valve. The disc or ball is raised within guides from the seat by the pressure of the upward flow. When the flow stops or reverses, the disc or ball is forced onto valve seat by both the backflow and gravity.

 

Lift Check Valves are an excellent valve solution for ensuring flow stops in the desired direction and that pressure levels remain consistent. This makes them a valuable addition to any system requiring reliable control of flow and pressure.

Benefits of Lift Check Valve
 

Lift check valves have a relatively simple design, making them easy to manufacture and maintain.

 

These valves respond quickly to changes in flow direction, minimizing the risk of backflow.

 

Lift check valves typically have lower pressure drops compared to other types of check valves, allowing for efficient flow.

 

Lift check valves can be used in various applications and industries, including water supply systems, pipelines, and industrial processes.

 

The simplicity of their design often contributes to the durability and reliability of lift check valves.

Types of Lift Check Valve

 

 

Air lift check valve
Air lift check valves are a specific type of lift check valves that are developed for situations where it is crucial to prohibit the passage of air in the opposite direction. They are frequently used in water and wastewater treatment systems to ensure the protection of air supply lines.

Air lift check valves are designed with features that effectively prohibit the entry of air into the system when fluid flow stops. This is especially crucial in situations when air pollution could undermine the effectiveness of the entire system.

 

Vertical lift check valve
Vertical lift check valves are designed to prevent the reversal of flow in a piping system1. They are activated by the flowing material in the pipeline. The pressure of the fluid passing through the system opens the valve, while any reversal of flow will close the valve. These valves are suitable for installation in horizontal or vertical lines with upward flow. They are recommended for use with steam, air, gas, water, and on vapor lines with high flow velocities

 

Horizontal lift check valve
Horizontal lift check valves are used primarily for air, gas, and steam services. They utilize gravity to shut off the valve, preventing reverse fluid flow. They have an S-shaped body design with a seat parallel to the fluid flow and must be installed in a horizontal position to allow fluid flow from below the valve seat.

 
Application of Lift Check Valve

05/

Water treatment plants

Lift check valves are essential components in water treatment plants to ensure the unidirectional flow of water. They prevent the contamination of clean water by wastewater or other undesirable substances.

06/

HVAC systems

Lift check valves are commonly employed in heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems to control the flow of refrigerants, water, and air. They maintain the proper functioning of the system and prevent any reverse flow that could affect its efficiency.

 
Components of Lift Check Valve
 

Valve body
This is the component of a lift-type check valve that is used to house all internal parts. Lift check valve manufacturers design the body using strong metallic materials such as carbon steel, stainless steel, ductile iron, and cast iron among other strong materials. The strong materials are aimed at ensuring that the valve remains strong against high pressure and high temperature as well as resistant to impact damage.

 
 

Bonnet
This is the component of the lift type check valve which is placed on top of the valve body. The bonnet is connected to the body using bolts and nuts. Bonnets are connected with the body to enhance valve strength. Both the bonnet and body are made of the same metallic material. In case the valve has a technical problem, the lift check valve is opened by opening the bonnet bolts and nuts.

 
 

Disc/ball
This is the component of a lift type check valve that is used to close and open fluid flow. Some lift check valves use a disc while others use a ball to close/open fluid flow. The disc/ball opens when there is high inlet pressure and closes when there is low inlet pressure.

 
 

Seat
This is the component of a lift check valve where the disc/ball rests when closing fluid flow. The seat is also tasked with preventing fluid leakage between the body and the disc.

 
 

Spring
Some lift check valve manufacturers design the valve with a spring to help in closing fluid flow to prevent reverse fluid flow.

 

Process of Lift Check Valve

 

 

A check valve whose disc slides along the vertical centerline of the valve body. The lifting check valve can only be installed on a horizontal pipeline. The disc can be used on a high-pressure small-diameter check valve. . The valve body shape of the lift check valve is the same as the stop valve (can be used in common with the stop valve), so its fluid resistance coefficient is relatively large. Its structure is similar to the stop valve, and the valve body and disc are the same as the stop valve. The upper part of the valve disc and the lower part of the valve cover are processed with guide sleeves. The disc guide can be lifted and lowered freely in the valve guide sleeve. When the medium flows downstream, the disc opens by the thrust of the medium. When the medium stops flowing, the disc depends on its own it falls on the valve seat to prevent the medium from flowing backward. The direction of the medium inlet and outlet channel of the straight-through lift check valve is perpendicular to the direction of the valve seat channel; the vertical lift check valve has the same direction of the medium inlet and outlet channels as the valve seat channel, and its flow resistance is smaller than that of the straight-through type.

How to Maintain Lift Check Valve
 
 

Regular inspections

Perform regular inspections to check for signs of wear, corrosion, or damage. Pay particular attention to the piston and seat, as these components are critical to the valve's performance.

 
 
 

Cleaning

Periodically clean the valve to remove any debris or buildup that could affect its operation. Follow the manufacturer's recommendations for cleaning procedures.

 
 
 

Lubrication

Some piston lift type check valves may require lubrication of moving parts to ensure smooth operation. Use appropriate lubricants as specified by the manufacturer.

 
Lift Check Valve Principle of Operation

 

Flow to lift type check valves must always enter below the seat. As the flow enters, the piston or ball is raised within guides from the seat by the pressure of the upward flow. When the flow stops or reverses, the piston or ball is forced onto the seat of the valve by both the backflow and gravity. Gravity is a large factor in operating a lift check valve due to which the valve must be in a horizontal position when in use.

 

However, lift type check valves are all position check valves, as the assembly can be done on horizontal, vertical ascending or descending position. In horizontally installed type, the ball is suspended by a system of guide ribs. This type of check valve design is generally employed in plastic check valves.

 

In this type of check valves, the seats of metallic body lift check valves are either integral with the body or contain renewable seat rings. Disk construction is similar to the disk construction of globe valves with either metal or composition disks.Metal disk and seat valves can be reground using the same techniques as is used for globe valves.

FAQ

Q: What is the difference between a lift check valve and a swing check valve?

A: Horizontal lift check valves are primarily used for air, gas and steam services whilst swing check valves are most suitable for water and other liquids. For air, gas and low pressure applications, especially where bubble tight closure is required, a valve with rubber faced disc is necessary.

Q: What is the purpose of a check valve?

A: Check valves are generally installed in pipelines to prevent backflow. A check valve is basically a one-way valve, in which the flow can run freely one way, but if the flow turns, the valve will close to protect the piping, other valves, pumps etc.

Q: How does a lift check valve work?

A: Flow from the underside of the seat lifts the disc off the seat and allows flow through the valve. The ball or plug is kept aligned during opening and closing by guides. When flow reduces, the valve closes slightly, when flow stops, the valve closes; back flow also moves the lift check valve to the closed position.

Q: Is a lift check valve vertical or horizontal?

A: When installing a check valve, a horizontal line is always preferred, because it takes gravity out of the equation.

Q: What can close a lift check valve?

A: This is a very unique style of valve! Check valves are defined by the type of force that closes the flow. The forces that stop flow in a check valve are back-flow pressure, gravity, and springs.

Q: When a lift check valve is not working properly, what should be done?

A: Look out for any signs of wear and check the pipeline for debris, which can get stuck in the valve and cause damage to the internal mechanisms. If you see any signs of deterioration, replace your valves as soon as possible. Reverse flow occurs when water flows upstream of the check valve.

Q: Is a piston check valve the same as a lift check valve?

A: Lift check valves are also called piston check valves. They are essentially globe valves without the stem and top works, allowing the disc to respond to flow rates and direction. The disc has linear movement and is typically body-guided with conical seating surfaces.

Q: What is the difference between swing check valve and lift check valve?

A: For instance, lift check valves are ideal for high pressure systems while swing check valves are ideal for low pressure systems with low flow rates and pressure drops.

Q: What is the use of lift check valve?

A: Lift Check Valves prevent reverse flow or backflow of liquid and ensuring smooth, uninterrupted flow through the system. The operation of a lift check valve is entirely automated, relying on gravity and media pressure to work.

Q: When should a piston check valve be used?

A: Also known as a lift check, a spring-loaded piston check is designed to allow the flow in one direction and prevent it from reversing and flowing in the reverse direction. These valves are often used in industrial, commercial, residential, oil and gas, water treatment, and chemical processing.

Q: Which is better swing valve or check valve?

A: Spring check valves provide greater flexibility compared to swing check valves and are suitable for a range of applications, including both horizontal and vertical orientations. The spring mechanism maintains the disc in position during pressure drops, allowing for flow in any direction.

Q: Can a lift check valve be installed vertically?

A: Lift check valves are versatile and can be installed in both horizontal and vertical piping systems. They are particularly well-suited for applications involving upward flow, making them an ideal choice for managing steam, air, gas, water, and vapor lines with high flow velocities.

Q: What is cracking pressure of lift check valve?

A: Cracking pressure is the minimum upstream pressure required to open a check valve enough to allow detectable flow. Detectable flow is when the check valve allows a small but steady flow of liquid or gas to pass through the valve body and out through its outlet port.

Q: What is swing or lift check valve?

A: Horizontal lift check valves are primarily used for air, gas and steam services whilst swing check valves are most suitable for water and other liquids. For air, gas and low pressure applications, especially where bubble tight closure is required, a valve with rubber faced disc is necessary.

Q: What is a vertical lift check valve?

A: Vertical Lift Check Valve:
Vertical lift check valves are designed to prevent the reversal of flow in a piping system1. They are activated by the flowing material in the pipeline. The pressure of the fluid passing through the system opens the valve, while any reversal of flow will close the valve.

Q: Is a piston check valve the same as a lift check valve?

A: Lift check valves are also called piston check valves. They are essentially globe valves without the stem and top works, allowing the disc to respond to flow rates and direction. The disc has linear movement and is typically body-guided with conical seating surfaces.
