Analysis of the full range of check valves from Vitti Fluid Control GMBH, Germany

In the intricate network of industrial pipelines, there is a type of valve that quietly safeguards the safe operation of the system - it does not require external force to drive and opens and closes solely by the energy of the medium itself. It seems simple, but it shoulders the important responsibility of preventing the backflow of media and protecting core equipment. This is the check valve, an indispensable "one-way guardian" in industrial processes.

With a century of German manufacturing experience, Viti Fluid Control GMBH in Germany has developed a product matrix of check valves covering all working conditions and scenarios. With outstanding material technology, precise manufacturing processes and innovative structural designs, it provides the most reliable fluid one-way control solutions for the global energy, chemical, power, water treatment and other industries.

I. Brand Heritage: A century-old German technological heritage

The history of Vitesse can be traced back to 1932 in Frankfurt am Main, Germany. Over the course of more than a century, the five words "Made in Germany" have long been integrated into the brand DNA of Viti. The company has highly professional engineering personnel and production equipment, and has carried out in-depth cooperation with universities and professional institutions in fields such as material development, fluid mechanics, and valve system design, continuously promoting technological innovation.

Viti has multiple production plants worldwide and independent office locations and agency sales networks in over 40 countries and regions. Its products are widely used in harsh working conditions such as high temperature and high pressure, easy erosion and corrosion. In cutting-edge fields like ultra (ultra) critical units, IGCC, secondary reheating technology and large-scale CFB units, it provides overall pipeline fluid solutions for hundreds of enterprises worldwide.

Ii. Core Value of Check Valves: Preventing backflow and ensuring safety

A check valve is an automatic valve that opens and closes based on the pressure of the medium. When installed in a pipeline system, its core function is to prevent the backflow of the medium. When the system suddenly stops running for some reason (such as a water pump suddenly stopping), the high-pressure medium in the pipeline will flow back in the opposite direction, causing a severe impact on core equipment such as the water pump impeller. At this point, the check valve closes immediately, cutting off the reflux path and ensuring the safety of the equipment.

In hot water systems, the role of check valves is particularly crucial - preventing high-temperature hot water from flowing back into pipes that are not heat-resistant, thus avoiding pipe damage or even scalding accidents to personnel. It is precisely this characteristic of "silent protection" that makes check valves an indispensable safety barrier in industrial and civil pipeline systems.

Iii. Full Range Product Matrix: Professional solutions covering all working conditions

Viti has a profound understanding of the differentiated demands for check valves under various working conditions and has established a full range of product systems covering multiple structural forms, pressure ratings and connection methods.

3.1 Swing Check Valve: A reliable choice for large-diameter working conditions

The Viti swing check valve adopts a rotating structure of a rocker and a valve disc. When the medium flows in the forward direction, it pushes the valve disc to open; when it flows in the reverse direction, the valve disc falls back and closes relying on its own weight and backflow pressure.

Core technological advantages

Compact structure and lightweight design: The structure is short in length, small in volume and light in weight, with its weight being only 1/4 to 1/20 of that of traditional flanged check valves

Quick closure and low water hammer pressure: The valve plate closes quickly, effectively suppressing water hammer impact

Unobstructed flow channel with low resistance: Low fluid resistance leads to low system energy consumption

Sealing surface strengthening treatment: The sealing surfaces of the valve disc and valve seat are made by surfacing with iron-based alloy or Stellite cobalt-based hard alloy, which has excellent wear resistance, high-temperature resistance, corrosion resistance and scratch resistance, and a long service life

Performance parameters: Nominal diameter 2 "-24" (DN50-DN600), pressure rating Class 150-2500, applicable temperature range -50℃ to 700℃ (depending on material), valve body materials include WCB, WC6, WC9, F22, CF3, CF3M, CF8, CF8M, etc.

3.2 Lift check valve: The preferred choice for small diameter and high precision

The structure of the Viti lift check valve is similar to that of a stop valve, with the valve disc rising and falling vertically in the guide cylinder of the valve cover. When the medium flows in the forward direction, the pressure pushes the valve disc to rise and open. When the medium flows back, the valve disc falls back and closes under the action of its own weight and the reflux pressure.

Core technological advantages

Simple structure, reliable operation: few moving parts, low failure rate, and convenient maintenance

Precise guidance and reliable sealing: The valve disc rises and falls along the guide cylinder, ensuring that it accurately positions on the valve seat sealing surface each time it is closed

The opening and closing principle is clear: when the thrust of the medium is greater than the weight of the valve disc, the valve opens. When the pressure after the valve plus the gravity of the valve disc is greater than the pressure before the valve, the valve closes to prevent the backflow of the medium

Performance parameters: Nominal diameter 2 "-24" (DN50-DN600), pressure rating Class 150-2500, applicable temperature range -50℃ to 700℃ (depending on material), connection forms include flange type and welded type.

3.3 Wafer check valve: An ideal choice for space-constrained working conditions

The Viti wafer check valve adopts a double-disc or single-disc structure and is installed between two flanges. With its ultra-short structural length, it has become the preferred choice for space-constrained working conditions.

Core technological advantages

Ultimate compact design: The structural length is only 1/4 to 1/8 of that of traditional flanged check valves, with a small volume and light weight

Flexible installation method: It can be used on both horizontal and vertical pipes and is easy to install

Sensitive action and good sealing performance: The valve disc stroke is short, the closing impact force is small, and the action is sensitive and reliable

Low flow resistance and low energy consumption: The flow channel is unobstructed, resulting in low fluid resistance

Long-life design: The overall structure is simple and compact, with a long service life and reliable performance

Working condition coverage: Applicable to various pipelines with nominal pressure ranging from PN1.0MPa to 42.0MPa (Class150 to 2500), nominal diameter from DN15 to 1200mm (NPS1/2 to 48), and working temperature from -196 to 540°C. By choosing different materials, it can be applied to various media such as water, steam, oil products, nitric acid, acetic acid, strong oxidizing media and uric acid.

3.4 Silent/Slow-closing Check Valve: The Terminator of water hammer Effect

For critical applications such as the outlet of water pumps that are prone to water hammer impact, Vite offers silent and slow-closing check valves. These valves adopt multi-stage slow-closing, damping cylinders, and spring-assisted technologies, which can significantly reduce or even eliminate water hammer impact, protect the safety of pipeline systems, and lower noise and vibration.

3.5 Axial Flow Check Valve: The ultimate choice for high-end working conditions

For high-end applications that require extremely low flow resistance and extremely high response speed, the Viti axial flow check valve, with its streamlined flow channel design and spring-assisted closing mechanism, achieves nearly zero leakage sealing performance and millisecond-level response speed. It is an ideal choice for critical working conditions such as compressor outlets and high-pressure gas injection.
