Butterfly valve applications in the petrochemical industry
On the one hand is the increasing scarcity of fossil fuel energy
sources, on the one hand the people on oil demand continues to increase,
while constantly looking for new energy sources, it is more important
is the rational application of existing energy sources and control.
Leakage, sealing problems in the energy production,transportation,
use of the most difficult thing, global warming, environmental
degradation is the culprit. New butterfly valve is in the sound of the
partial needs of pregnant and health, the environment in a variety of
channels it can play the role of regulating off.
Let us start with the “three eccentric butterfly valve principle Let’s
start with the structure of the butterfly valve on the valve and
pipeline connected to the horizontal (ie the valve size), the valve
within the valve port plate, the axis perpendicular to the valve port
wear in the body and the valve plate. The edge of the disc set outside
the sphere, in the valve port is set to meet with the spherical sealing
surface, the spherical sealing surface and form a seal with the seal
line between the axis of the shaft eccentricity a, the valve plate in
the horizontal center line center line of the valve port and shaft
eccentricity between the center line b, the outer spherical connection
with the valve port of the centerline of the angle between α, which is
the principle of the three eccentric butterfly valve .
The ingenious patented product that the “butterfly valve” of the three
eccentric valve plate are placed in the outer edge of the disc using
some of the spherical structure. This structure is designed to be simple
to use CNC machine tool fixture in the completion of the eccentric
spherical polished to roughness Ra0.4, Secretary spherical chrome or
heap too Levin alloy, hardness HRC45 ~ 60.
The eccentric angle on the valve plate, valve seat ring with the
pressure on the pressure in the body, this would resolve the processing
problems of ordinary butterfly valve, valve, valve plate, valve seat can
not interchangeable with matching, damage repair costs after the high
range of issues, and all parts modular, simple warehouse management, processing, easy maintenance, lower spare parts cost.
Butterfly structure principle for production of large diameter valves,
cut off the oil pipeline, metallurgy steel, regulation of gas pipeline,
cutting, chemical refining, catalytic, cracking, propylene,
polyethylene, polypropylene and other devices off the media regulation ,
into the water treatment equipment, water conditioning off, the thermal
power station cooling water system, natural gas, lye, water, acid, etc.
are widely used.
Extend the valve cover, valve seat with PTFE, is mainly used in liquid
air, liquid oxygen, nitrogen and other -183 ~-196oС ultra-low
temperature applications.
Butterfly simple structure, small size, light weight, only by a few
parts. And just rotate 1.5o quickly open and close, easy to operate,
while the fluid control valve has a good feature.
Butterfly in the fully open position, the disc thickness is only when
the medium flows through the body resistance through the valve pressure
drop generated by small, it has a better flow control characteristics.
Butterfly valve is closed, its spherical valve plate and valve seat
sealing surface than the pressure applied to the axis of the driving
torque generated. M-elastic seat coupled with the flexibility of
compensation, both to achieve controlled pressure can also enable the
comparison of three eccentric butterfly valve sealing performance is
improved, life is also greatly improved.
We all know the valve closure element by the movement can be divided
into straight and angular travel itinerary. Linear actuator valve
closure element (valve, valve plates, etc.) in the fluid channel in a
straight line; rotary valve closure element in the fluid channel is
doing rotation.
Linear actuator valve manifold of media complex was S-shaped, and thus
flow resistance, flow capacity is small, so the flow coefficient Kv
value of small, complex circuit straight trip to the media easily settle
in the vicinity of the orifice, resulting in lay a trap, there valve
related death, and not open phenomenon, and the larger size and weight
is also large. Up and down movement in the spool out of easy to medium,
sealing performance is poor, can afford less pressure, when the pressure
will be high erosion, cavitation phenomenon.
The angle of travel of the media flow path is simple, and thus flow
resistance, flow capacity, Kv value, which is difficult to make medium
precipitation. The flow path is simple, too simple cavity and shape,
size is also smaller. From these comparisons, since the rotary valve is
clearly mainstream.
In the rotary valve in then from the commonly used ball, butterfly and butterfly valve to do some comparison.
Determine a good or bad valve adjustment from it, cut off, pressure,
blockades, corrosion, pressure, temperature, weight, appearance, and
leakage of these considerations.
Ball weight is too heavy, bulky, ugly appearance; common butterfly is
difficult to cut off the flow, and the torque is too large, the only
requirement is to meet all
of the above three eccentric butterfly valves. This obviously shows the
advantages of the three eccentric butterfly valve in the valve industry
in terms of status is not made.
“Kyoto Daily” Scientists predict that by around 2030 the world’s fossil
fuels will be exhausted. National Development and Reform Commission
announced on April 10, “Energy Development” Eleventh Five-Year “Plan”
proposed to deepen the coal, oil, natural gas, electricity, renewable
energy and other areas of structural reform, improve the energy price
system. These are not all that the petrochemical industry has brought to
our lives how much influence and control of energy, prevent waste,
prevent pollution of urgency.
At these areas plays an important role in the valve, butterfly valve
from the new point of view all the advantages of the new butterfly valve
in the valve industry and occupies important position.
At present, China valve industry, manufacturers have gradually increased
research and development efforts, but outdated product technology and
production requirements of the valve can only meet about 70% of the
market, resulting in this outcome is because there is no competitive
products appear.
