Abstract

Diverter valve is used to divert the flow of material with multi-diversion ports. This two-way gravity diverter valve diverts the free fall material with the help of flapping system. The work has been carried out for the CFD analysis of Gravity Diverter Valve using at the discharge of powder material, which is free fall from silo. How the flow is changed with the flap position, actuating with the pneumatic cylinder is examined.
