Popis: Analizirane su karakteristike rada i učinkovitost ventila za regulaciju nizvodnog tlaka s posebnim osvrtom na mehaničke opružne ventile. Iznesene su teoretske osnove rada opružnih ventila s kritičkim osvrtom na njihovu funkcionalnost i učinkovitost u usporedbi s hidrauličkim ventilima. Na konkretnim primjerima dan je usporedni prikaz rada opružnih i hidrauličkih ventila za regulaciju tlakova s aspekta generiranja određenih hidrauličkih stanja i učinkovitost u upravljanju vodnim gubitcima. Dobiveni rezultati upućuju na potrebu da se opružni ventili zamijene hidrauličkima.
The operating characteristics and efficiency of the valve used for regulation of downstream pressure are analysed, and a special emphasis is placed on mechanical spring valves. Theoretical notions about operation of spring valves are given, with a critical review of their functionality and efficiency as compared to hydraulic valves. Spring valves and hydraulic valves are compared on real-life examples with regard to their use for regulation of pressure from the aspect of generation of specific hydraulic states and efficiency in water loss management. The results obtained in this research point to the need to replace spring valves with hydraulic valves.
