How does flapper work on heater core dodge ram?
Flapper valves, whether it be in your dodge ram, or on a submarine all work in the same way. The flapper valve is design to allow liquid flow in one direction only. Usually, the basic construction is a valve door that is attached at the top by a hinge. When liquid flows in the desired direction, the hinge allows the valve to open and allow flow. When liquid tries to flow in the opposite direction, the fluid pushes the valve door back against its seat and prevents liquid flow.

What are clack valves?
Wow, that's a somewhat dated term. A clack valve would these days probably would be called a check valve or flapper valve. This type of valve has a flapper on a hinge inside the valve. When the liquid (or gas) flows one way, it pushes the flapper open, and flow occurs. if the flow tries to go the other way, it pushes the flapper closed (like the wind blowing your door shut) and stops the flow. If the flapper is made of metal, it makes a 'clack' as it bangs shut. Used in a broad sense, any type of check valve or backflow prevention valve could probably be termed a clack valve, not just one with a hinged flapper. Next time you are going in to a business or other large building, take note of the large double cast iron thingy that you usually see out front connected with pipes, out on the lawn or near the sidewalk. This is called a backflow preventer. It supplies water to the building, but if the city main water pressure slows or stops, it prevents the built-up pressure in the building's pipes from flowing back out into the city's piping, which could contaminate the city water supply. This is a classic example of a clack valve.
