läppävalven

Läppävalven, also known as the "lip valve," is a type of valve used in fluid systems, particularly in hydraulic and pneumatic applications. It is designed to control the flow of a fluid by opening and closing in response to pressure changes. The valve consists of a flexible lip that moves in and out of a seat, creating a seal that either allows or restricts the flow of the fluid.

The lip valve operates based on the principle of differential pressure. When the pressure on one side of the valve exceeds a certain threshold, the flexible lip is forced open, allowing fluid to pass through. Conversely, when the pressure drops below the threshold, the lip returns to its closed position, stopping the flow. This mechanism provides a simple and reliable way to control fluid flow without the need for complex moving parts.

Läppävalven is commonly used in applications where precise flow control is required, such as in hydraulic systems for machinery and equipment. Its simplicity and reliability make it a popular choice in various industrial settings. However, it is important to note that the lip valve is not suitable for applications requiring high flow rates or extreme pressure conditions, as the flexible lip may not provide adequate sealing in such cases.
