Water Cooled Liquid Fuel Check Valves

Published, January 2004
JASC is pleased to announce the successful development and testing
of a Water Cooled Liquid Fuel Check Valve. This state-of-the-art
application is a modified version of the JASC Liquid Fuel Check
Valve that incorporates active cooling of the check valve’s
external housing. The original functionality of the present JASC
liquid fuel check valve is maintained with the addition of active
cooling to reduce the valve’s internal temperature.

The new design
uses water as a cooling medium to maintain an internal check valve
temperature that is below the coking threshold of diesel fuel (approx.
250 °F), while operating in an ambient environment in excess
of 500 °F. Successful tests have been conducted with water temperatures
up to 150 °F, water pressure at 80 psi, and as little flow as
½ GPM flow rate, while still maintaining an internal check
valve temperature below the coking threshold.
