  • Why Should Exhaust Valves be Installed in Water Supply Pipelines?
    Why Should Exhaust Valves be Installed in Water Supply Pipelines? May 11, 2023
    As a device for quickly removing gas from pipelines, exhaust valves are essential equipment for improving the efficiency of water conveying equipment and protecting pipelines from deformation and rupture. The exhaust valve is installed at the pump outlet or in the water supply and distribution pipeline to largely eliminate the accumulated air in the pipeline and improve the efficiency of water pipes and pumps. And once negative pressure occurs in the pipeline, this valve can quickly suck in air to prevent damage to the pipeline caused by negative pressure. The exhaust valve is generally used for pipe exhaust of independent heating system, central heating system, heating boiler, central air conditioning, floor heating and solar heating system. Precautions for setting exhaust valves: 1. The exhaust valve must be installed vertically, that is, it must ensure that the internal float is in a vertical state to avoid affecting the exhaust. 2. When installing the exhaust valve, it is best to install it together with the isolation valve, so that when the exhaust valve needs to be removed for maintenance, it can ensure that the system is sealed and water does not flow out. 3. The exhaust valve is generally installed at the highest point of the system, which is beneficial for improving exhaust efficiency. Performance requirements for exhaust valves: 1. The exhaust valve should have a large exhaust capacity, which can quickly exhaust and restore to normal water supply capacity in a very short time when the pipeline is empty and filled with water. 2. When there is negative pressure generated in the exhaust valve inside the pipe, the piston should be able to quickly open and absorb a large amount of external air to ensure that the pipeline will not be damaged due to negative pressure. And it can expel trace amounts of air accumulated in the pipeline under working pressure. 3. The exhaust valve should have a relatively high air closing pressure, and should have sufficient capacity to exhaust the air in the pipeline in a short period of time before the piston is closed, thereby improving the water delivery efficiency. 4. The water closing pressure of the exhaust valve should not exceed 0.02 MPa, and the exhaust valve can be closed at a lower water pressure to avoid a large amount of water gushing out. 5. The exhaust valve should use stainless steel floating balls (floating barrels) as the opening and closing parts. 6. The exhaust valve body should be equipped with an anti impact protection inner cylinder to prevent premature damage to the floating ball (bucket) caused by the direct impact of high-speed water flow after a large amount of exhaust. 7. For exhaust valves with DN ≥ 100, a split structure is adopted, consisting of a large number of exhaust valves and automatic exhaust valves to meet the requirements of pipeline pressure. 8. For high flow rates, frequent start of water pumps, and operating conditions with a diameter DN ≥ 100, a buffer plug valve should...

  • Working Principle and Energy-saving Function of Steam Trap Valve
    Working Principle and Energy-saving Function of Steam Trap Valve Apr 27, 2023
    There are many models of steam trap valves currently available, but their working principle is to use the differences in height, temperature, and flow rate between steam and condensate water to achieve the opening and closing of steam trap valves through various mechanisms, achieving the purpose of blocking steam and draining water. Energy-saving Function 1. Quickly discharge the condensed water generated in the equipment using steam. Maintain the heating efficiency of the steam using equipment at the optimal state, so that the condensed water inside the equipment does not form retention, and maximize the steam space inside the equipment. This can often maintain the highest heating efficiency. Once the steam trap valve cannot fully function, the retention of condensed water not only greatly affects the performance of the steam using equipment, but sometimes even completely paralyzes the production equipment. 2. Quickly discharge the air and low-temperature condensate from the equipment at the beginning of startup, thereby shortening the preheating operation time. At the beginning of steam supply, both the steam transmission pipeline and the steam using equipment are filled with air, and if they are not eliminated, steam cannot be delivered. In addition, during the process of heating up the steam transmission pipeline and steam usage equipment to steam temperature, the initial low-temperature condensate generated must also be quickly discharged, enabling the equipment to operate normally in a short period of time. This is an important condition for improving production efficiency, especially in intermittent production situations. Due to the shortened preheating time, each operation time is shortened, and the increase in processing times can ultimately increase production. Previously, during preheating operation, the bypass valve was first opened to discharge the initial air and low-temperature condensate. Now, due to the selection of appropriate steam trap valves, it can automatically discharge the initial air and low-temperature condensate, while also saving manpower. 3. Reduce the steam consumption of the steam trap itself. The so-called steam consumption of the steam trap itself generally refers to steam leakage, which is the sum of the amount of steam required for the action of the steam trap and the amount of heat dissipation loss.

  • Installation Precautions for Large Fully Welded Ball Valves
    Installation Precautions for Large Fully Welded Ball Valves Apr 27, 2023
    Large diameter welded ball valves are important valve products commonly used in industrial production, and their safety in use is crucial. If installed improperly, there may be safety issues of uneven force distribution, and in severe cases, it may cause harm to personnel and equipment; It may also cause problems such as valve damage and leakage, thereby shortening the service life of the valve. Below, we will introduce the precautions for installing this large fully welded ball valve from four major aspects. 1. Pipeline inspection Before installation, it is necessary to ensure that the pre-treatment work of the pipeline has been completed, including cleaning the internal and surrounding areas of the pipeline, removing foreign objects and rust, etc. 2. Valve lifting (1) When lifting a ball valve, the lifting rope should be tied to the lifting lug (ring) or flange on the valve body, and should not be tied to the handwheel, valve stem, or actuator to avoid damage to the actuator. (2) During the lifting process, the blind covers at both ends of the ball valve should not be removed to prevent dust and foreign objects from entering the chamber. It is necessary to avoid hitting the ball valve and colliding with pipeline accessories or joints. Do not use chain lifting, but use soft belts for lifting. Take corner protection measures at the edge of the valve to ensure that the external paint of the valve is not damaged during the lifting process. 3. Valve inspection before installation (1) Determine the switch position. The ball valve is in the fully open position when leaving the factory, and when installed on the pipeline, it is generally necessary to keep the valve in the fully open position. When it is necessary to install in the fully closed position, appropriate protective methods can be confirmed in advance with the manufacturer. (2) Inspection of installation direction and position. Before installation, carefully check whether the valve nameplate and identification match the installation and usage requirements. (3) Clean the inner chamber and sealing surface of the valve. Dirt is not allowed to adhere to the cavity. If there is, a clean soft cloth should be used to wipe off the attached dirt before installation. (4) Drive device inspection. Before installation, check whether the drive device operates flexibly, whether there is any jamming, whether the bolts and nuts are loose, whether the packing is tight, and whether the valve switch status is consistent with the installation requirements. 4. Welding of valves and pipelines (1) Before welding with the pipeline, the surface of the pipeline and ball valve welding joints must be cleaned to remove impurities such as dust and oil to ensure the quality and strength of the weld. (2) The size and shape error of the ball valve piping should be within the allowable range and consistent with the centerline of the main pipe before welding. (3) Before welding, cover the sealing surface area of the valve with ...

  • Characteristics of Elastic Seat Seal Gate Valves
    Characteristics of Elastic Seat Seal Gate Valves Apr 12, 2023
    The core components of elastic seat sealed gate valves mainly include valve bodies, valve covers, valve stems, and gate plates. The gate is made of ductile iron covered with non-toxic rubber (directly vulcanized nitrile rubber or EPDM rubber). The sealing of the entire valve mainly relies on the contact between the rubber gate and the casting, achieving a good sealing effect through the slight elastic deformation caused by the stress on the rubber. Characteristics 1. Flat bottom valve seat Traditional metal gate valves often fail to close tightly after being cleaned with water due to foreign objects such as stones, wooden blocks, cement, iron filings, and debris accumulating in the grooves at the valve bottom, resulting in water leakage. The elastic seat sealing gate valve adopts a flat bottom design with no grooves at the bottom of the inner chamber and the same bottom as the water pipe, which is not easy to cause debris accumulation and the sealing is consistent. 2. Overall sealing of the wedge The gate is made of high-quality rubber for overall internal and external sealing, ensuring accurate geometric dimensions of the vulcanized gate. The rubber is firmly attached to ductile iron and is not easy to fall off, with good elastic memory. 3. All parts meet environmental requirements The valve body, valve cover, bracket, handwheel and other parts of the elastic seat sealed gate valve are all made of ductile iron. After special treatment, the internal and external surfaces are sprayed with epoxy resin powder coating using high-pressure electrostatic spraying technology. The internal components are made of stainless steel or copper alloy, effectively preventing the formation of corrosion, and are pollution-free, non-toxic, and have a beautiful surface. 4. Low flow resistance and low head loss Due to the use of spraying technology, the epoxy resin coating surface of the elastic seat sealed gate valve is very smooth, greatly reducing the surface roughness of the channel through which the medium flows, resulting in small flow resistance and low head loss. At the same time, the bottom of the valve body is designed as a straight through type, which also reduces flow resistance and head loss. 5. Special shaft seal Due to the use of three O-ring seals and one dust ring seal design on the valve stem, it can reduce friction resistance during switching and significantly reduce water leakage. 6. Protective devices Elastic seat gate valves that can be directly buried underground are equipped with a set of protective devices. There is a valve box on the top of the device, and when opening the cover plate on the valve box, an extended socket wrench can be used to open and close the valve. The elastic seat sealing gate valve is reliable in sealing, can achieve zero leakage, and has a small friction coefficient and minimal wear. The valve has small torque when opening and closing, easy operation, long service life, no pollution, corrosion resistance, and beautiful ...

  • Advantages and Applications of Metal Sealed Triple Eccentric Ball Valves
    Advantages and Applications of Metal Sealed Triple Eccentric Ball Valves Apr 06, 2023
    Metal sealed triple eccentric ball valve is a new product used in high temperature, high pressure, and harsh process medium requirements. Advantages Compared with ordinary soft-sealed ball valves (1) Can be adapted to a wider temperature range. Soft-sealed ball valves are affected by the temperature resistance of non-metallic seals and cannot be used in situations where the temperature is too high. The metal seal can be used at 600 ℃ or even higher according to different materials. (2) Can be used in higher pressure range. Limited by the pressure resistance of non-metallic materials and stability under high pressure, non-metallic sealed ball valves are used for CL600 or lower grades. When used at higher pressure levels, non-metallic seals are prone to instability and cause valve failure. The metal hard seal ball valve can be used in CL2500 class. (3) A longer service life can be obtained. Compared with metal materials, non-metallic materials are prone to aging. After a period of use, the performance degradation of non-metallic materials will cause the valve sealing performance to also decrease. On the other hand, non-metallic materials are susceptible to damage. When the fluid contains solid particles, non-metallic seals are easily scratched, resulting in seal failure or reduced seal performance. Compared with ordinary metal hard-sealed ball valves (1) Fixed ball design. Ordinary ball valves are sealed with floating balls, while triple eccentric ball valves are all designed with fixed balls, and the specific pressure of the seal is established by its own torque, which is reliable under any circumstances. (2) Torque seal design. Traditional metal hard seal trunnion ball valves usually have a pre-compressed spring behind the valve seat. Under the action of the spring, the valve seat is in contact with the sealing surface of the ball to form a sealing specific pressure. If the spring stiffness is too small, the formed sealing specific pressure is also relatively small, and the sealing effect is poor; if the spring stiffness is high, the wear of the sealing surface will be increased, and the switching torque will be increased at the same time; on the other hand, the spring is affected by the temperature of the medium. Its stiffness tends to change over time, and therefore the sealing effectiveness also changes over time. The triple eccentric ball valve is sealed by torque, which can form a larger sealing specific pressure, and it will not wear a lot, and it will not be affected by temperature and alternating load. (3) Bi-directional sealing performance of single valve seat. Under low temperature conditions, the traditional metal hard sealing ball adopts complex automatic pressure relief mechanism or adopts the method of opening holes in order to release the medium in the valve cavity. The former increases the complexity of the valve seat, and the latter makes the ball valve directional because of the opening. The triple eccentric ball valve adopts a ...

  • Structural Principle and Performance Characteristics of Axial Flow Check Valves
    Structural Principle and Performance Characteristics of Axial Flow Check Valves Mar 30, 2023
    Axial flow check valves can be divided into sleeve, disk, ring, and other forms according to their disc structure. In addition to the functions of general check valves, the axial flow check valve is also designed with shock absorbing springs. The combined valve seat sealing structure with hard seal and soft seal has the effect of noise reduction and shock absorption, which is convenient for users to overhaul on site. The unique axial flow shuttle structure has the advantages of small flow resistance, large flow coefficient and small size. It is suitable for pipeline systems such as oil, gas, water slurry and acidic corrosive media containing H2S+CO2, and is used to control the reverse flow of the medium. Structural Characteristics 1. It is designed with shock-absorbing spring, which avoids the vibration and noise caused by the direct impact between the disc and the valve body when the ordinary check valve is opened. 2. The valve seat adopts a combined sealing structure of hard seal and soft seal, which has better sealing performance. 3. Compact structure, beautiful shape, small size. 4. Unique axial flow shuttle structure, small flow resistance and large flow coefficient. Working Principle The opening and closing of the disc is determined by the pressure difference between the inlet and outlet of the valve. When the pressure at the inlet port is greater than the sum of the pressure at the outlet port and the spring force, the disc opens. As long as there is a pressure difference, the disc is always open, but the degree of opening is determined by the size of the pressure difference. When the sum of the pressure at the outlet end and the spring force is greater than the pressure at the inlet end, the disc closes and remains closed all the time. Since the opening and closing of the disc is in a dynamic force balance system, the valve operates smoothly, without noise, and the phenomenon of water hammer is greatly reduced. The axial flow check valve closes quickly and without impact. The disc with small mass and low inertia touches the seat surface with a very small impact force after a short stroke, which can keep the sealing surface of the valve seat in good condition and avoid damage. More importantly, it can minimize the formation of pressure fluctuations and ensure system safety.
