A method and arrangement to accomplish a self-acting function of one way flow in a conduit with minimal flow resistance is disclosed. A one way valve, which in an unaffected position blocks the conduit, is of a flexible, elastic material, and is arranged with a tight fit in connection to the inner surface of the conduit and is partially fixed along the inner circumference of the conduit by means of one or more parts having a surface with longitudinal/circumferential extension in the conduit. In case of pressure of a medium in one direction of the conduit, any flow will be blocked due to the fact that the pressure of the medium will press the non fixed parts of the one way valve against the inner surface of the conduit, whereby a completely tight element is formed. In addition, the non fixed parts of the one way valve collapse in case of pressure of the medium directed in the opposite direction, whereby a flow will be let through without any substantial resistance depending on the magnitude of the pressure.
A method to accomplish a self-acting function with a flow in one direction in a conduit (2) with minimal flow resistance, characterized in that a one-way valve (1), which in an unaffected condition closes off the conduit (2), is of a flexible, elastic material and is arranged with a close fit in connection to the inner surface of the conduit (2), that the one-way valve (1) is partially fixed along the inner circumference of the conduit (2) by means of one or more parts of its outer surface having a longitudinal/circumferential extension in the conduit (2), in such a way that in case of pressure from a medium in one direction in the conduit (2) a possible flow is blocked due to the fact that pressure from the medium presses the non fixed parts of the one-way valve (1) against the inner surface of the conduit (2), forming a completely tight element and that under influence of pressure of the medium in the opposite direction, the non fixed parts of the one-way valve (1) are brought to collapse, whereby a flow dependent on the magnitude of the pressure is let through with negligible resistance.
A self-controlling check valve arrangement, intended for accomplish of a self-controlled one-way flow in a conduit (2) with minimal flow resistance, characterized in that it comprises a one-way valve (1), which in case of the same pressure on both sides of it will block the conduit (2), which valve (1) is arranged with a tight fit in the conduit and is partially fixed along the inner surface of the conduit (2) by means of one or more parts having a longitudinal/circumferential extension in the conduit, in order to block a flow in a first direction in case of pressure from a medium in said first direction of the pressure forming a completely tight element by means of the one-way valve and to allow an almost unrestricted flow, depending on the magnitude of the pressure, in case of a pressure in the opposite direction from the medium.
