Abstract
The pressure reducing valves are widely used in the technological water supplied ways of gravity flow. A credible pressure reducing valve can provide stable cooling water for units with extremely low maintenance cost and labor intensity in a fairly long period of time. In this paper, a three-dimensional numerical simulation of flow field and acoustic characteristics towards a combined type pressure reducing valve was carried out based on ANSYS Fluent and the FW-H equation. The numerical results achieve the regulation of noise generation, transmission and attenuation. It shows that the sound pressure level of monitoring points seem to be higher and large gradient at low frequencies under the same flow velocity, while it presents reverse results with the increment of frequency and maintains a constant valve finally. At the same time, the monitoring points in the vicinity of throttling cone shows higher sound pressure level and upstream noise is lower than downstream's. Aiming at the problem of valve noise, a modified measure to reduce the flow-induced noise was proposed.
