Working Principle
When the water pump starts operating, the water flow at the inlet end of the valve passes through the micro filter (16), needle valve (15), and check valve (14) into the control chamber of the valve cover, and then is discharged to the outlet through the ball valve (6). Since the opening of the needle valve (15) is small (usually 1/4 turn open is sufficient) and the diameter of the inlet pipe is smaller than that of the outlet pipe, the discharge speed in the control chamber is greater than the water supply speed at the inlet. As a result, the pressure in the control chamber decreases, and the inlet pressure acting under the main valve disc (5) lifts the main valve disc, thereby opening the main valve to supply water downstream.
When the water supply stops, the water downstream starts to flow back. Due to the self-weight of the valve disc (5) and the pressure in the upper water chamber, the throttle port is quickly closed by 90%. The remaining 10% uses the pipe to transmit the pressure behind the valve to the upper water chamber. Due to the action of the check valve (14), the water in the upper water chamber cannot flow out, so the pressure in the water chamber gradually increases, and the valve stem moves down slowly, finally making the main valve disc close tightly. This prevents the backflow of downstream water and plays the role of slow closing and noise elimination. (This is the working principle of the diaphragm type, and the piston type is the same.)

This valve mainly has two types: diaphragm type and piston type. It consists of a main valve, check valve, needle valve, ball valve, micro-filter, pressure gauge, etc. Since the pilot valve, needle valve, pressure gauge, etc., need to be connected to the main valve via ducts, they are collectively referred to as the duct control system.
