In the modern industrial and household fields, air compressors have become one of the indispensable important equipment. One of the core components, the check valve, determines the stability and safety of the entire system. Today we will take a closer look at why the check valve is a key component of the air compressor.

There are three main types of check valves on the market for consumers to choose from, which are spherical, butterfly and lift. Each has its own unique design features and technical advantages. For example, the ball check valve is known for its compact design, which is very suitable for applications with limited space; the butterfly is widely praised for its lightweight structure, especially for large-diameter pipeline connection environments; as for the lift check valve, It is loved by professional users because of its reliability and durability.

The next thing to consider is how to select the right specifications according to your specific needs. Take the common 3/4 inch as an example, which is the standard configuration option for many small and medium-sized air compressors. However, in the actual purchase process, it is necessary to comprehensively consider the pressure level of the working medium and other relevant parameters in order to make an optimal decision.

When we talk about the performance of check valves, we usually involve two important indicators-pressure range and flow coefficient. The former directly affects the ability to withstand extreme conditions under expected load conditions; the latter is an important reference value for evaluating the efficiency of fluid transmission. Therefore, the relationship between these two factors must be carefully weighed during the selection phase.

Installation is also a process that cannot be ignored. In order to make every reader can easily master this skill, we will introduce a simple and clear operation process for you in detail:
the first step is to turn off the main power supply and release the residual gas in the gas tank.
the second step, according to the instructions to find a suitable position fixed bracket.
In the third step, carefully insert the check valve body into the designated hole, and tighten the nut slightly by hand for preliminary positioning.
The fourth step is to use a wrench to further reinforce until it is completely sealed.

Although carefully selected and properly installed check valves can significantly reduce the probability of failure, there may still be problems after long-term use, such as leaks or stuck internal parts. Don't panic when encountering these problems, just refer to the following methods to investigate the causes one by one and prescribe the right medicine to resume normal use:

• -If you find liquid oozing, please check whether the gasket is damaged or severely deformed;


• -When the rotation is not smooth, it may be caused by the narrowing of the gap due to the accumulation of impurities.

In order to maximize the service life of the check valve, regular maintenance is particularly important. It is recommended to disassemble and clean the internal and external surface residues at regular intervals, and apply appropriate amount of lubricating oil to protect the movable parts from corrosion.

Finally, I would like to share with you a few success stories from the real world. A well-known factory once faced frequent downtime maintenance problems until the switch to a higher quality level of the check valve to completely solve this problem; there is a DIY enthusiasts through reasonable adjustment of the setting parameters to make their own garage modified version of the air spray gun system glow new life ...... Numerous examples prove that as long as the attention to every small link will eventually reap satisfactory results.
