Why are no non-return flaps suggested for the inlet and pressure line?
At first sight intermediate flange check valves seem to be advantageous concerning the space requirement. Since these valves are loaded with each working stroke under usually high temperatures, an early spring fatigue is possible and can cause a system crash. Relevant manufacturers of intermediate flange check valves do not supply concrete prognoses regarding possible load cycles.
