When is a pressure-compensated dripper suitable?

The dripper of the pressure compensation drip irrigation tape is designed with a silicone diaphragm, which can react differently to different water pressures. When the pressure is high, the elastic element inside the dripper will be lifted up, thereby reducing the cross-sectional area of  the water flow channel, controlling the flow rate of the water flow, and keeping the water output stable. On the contrary, when the pressure is too low, the elastic element returns to its original state, increasing the area of  the water flow channel, so that there is still enough water flowing out when the head is lowered, thereby maintaining a constant outflow resistance and achieving a constant flow rate. Ensure that perfect uniformity can be achieved regardless of the area and slope.

Areas with complex terrain

When planting crops in mountainous or undulating areas, due to the large height difference in the terrain, traditional drippers will cause unstable water flow due to changes in pressure. For example, at the top of the hillside, the water pressure is low, while at the bottom of the hillside, the water pressure is high. If ordinary drippers are used, plants on the upper part of the hillside may grow poorly due to insufficient water supply, while plants at the bottom of the hillside may accumulate water or even rot their roots due to excessive water. Pressure-compensating drippers can automatically adjust the water flow according to different pressures, ensuring that each plant can receive a relatively uniform amount of irrigation water regardless of the area and slope, and regardless of the height of the dripper.

Long distance irrigation

If drip irrigation equipment is to be used in a large area, the drip irrigation pipe may be laid for a long distance. From the water source to the end of the dripper, the water pressure will gradually decrease due to factors such as pipe friction. The pressure-compensating dripper can maintain a relatively stable drip volume within this pressure change range, so that crops along the pipeline can obtain similar irrigation effects, effectively avoiding the situation where crops close to the water source are over-irrigated and crops far from the water source are under-irrigated.


Poor water quality

When the irrigation water source contains impurities such as sediment, these impurities may accumulate inside the dripper, causing the dripper to become clogged or causing the flow path of the dripper to change, thus affecting the normal operation of the dripper. The pressure-compensating dripper has good anti-clogging performance and can achieve continuous self-cleaning. Its internal structure design can effectively prevent the dripper from clogging. Moreover, even if a certain degree of local blockage occurs, its pressure compensation function can still ensure the uniformity of the water output of the dripper to a certain extent.

 

Crops with certain irrigation requirements

Pressure-compensated drippers have the ability to accurately control the amount of irrigation, and can meet the occasions where there are precise requirements for the amount of irrigation. For example, in greenhouses and other environments, in order to optimize crop growth conditions, it is necessary to accurately control the amount of irrigation and irrigation time.Pressure-compensated drippers can accurately control the amount of irrigation water for each seedling, so that the irrigation uniformity in the entire greenhouse area reaches a high level, which is conducive to improving the quality and yield of crops, thereby improving economic benefits.


Pressure-compensating drip tape plays an important role in the field of modern agricultural irrigation. It is not only adaptable to different terrains and changes in water source pressure, but also can achieve uniform growth of crops in any complex terrain and unstable water source pressure. Moreover, the pressure-compensating dripper can achieve continuous self-cleaning, which can effectively prevent the dripper from clogging.
