Abstract

In this paper, cavitation in water hydraulic poppet valves is investigated by an experimental method with a half cut test model. The situation of cavitation appearance, the effects of cavitation on the characteristics of flow rate, noise lev-el, pressure distributions and the boundary of inception of the cavitation are investigated. Comparison between a poppet valve with sharp edged seat and another, which has a length on the seat, is made. The effects of change in the shape of the seat are discussed as well as the effect of cavitation appearance. As a result, it is revealed that the sharp edged seat valve is less influenced by the cavitation on its characteristics.
