Abstract (Original text)
It is becoming more difficult to provide adequate distribution of water, because the water pipeline systems are covering increasingly wider areas. Therefore, a mechanism is needed that will control pipeline systems to maintain constant pressure and discharge. To solve this problem, a variable constant-flow valve has been developed that is capable of controlling and changing pipeline discharge. The performance of the valve has been tested to verify its function. The operating mechanism of the variable constant-flow valve is based on the equation of motion. A mathematical model of the valve was created, and the test results were simulated to check its basic functions.
Also, for assuming high-pressure closed pipelines, a simulation was conducted to check how the distribution of flow is affected when one junction in a pipeline is dominant and controls the flow through the entire pipeline system. In addition, the valve's performance was verified by placing it at an upstream junction and changing the pipeline pressure from up- and down-stream on the valve. This test confirmed that the valve maintained a constant, regardless of any pressure fluctuations, and that the discharge check system functioned properly.
