Description
One trim capable to handle the control of fluids both in the liquid and in the gaseous state.Patented solution provides technical benefits and high performances in all process conditions.
The VP1-L trim, (for liquids) has the feature to better manage moderate and severe cavitation while the VP1-G trim (for gas and steam) offers excellent results in reducing the noise. These standard trims are able to manage the process even under difficult conditions and severe service.
The principle of curved plates provides excellent throttling performance in terms of FL, sigma and XT coefficients without sacrificing the maximum capacity of the valve. Also the minimum flow rates have been carefully evaluated by technicians and engineers to ensure the best rangeability. The trim are designed to be installed both on floating and trunnion ball valves. Our control valves can be designed full or reduced bore according to process conditions.
Main features
VP1 valves are sized according to IEC 60534 and ISA75 international sizing equations.
Customized calculations and CFD can be adopted for special applications. Valve sizing is performed with latest generation VALPSIZE™ 2.0 sizing tool.
Noise is evaluated according to customized IEC and VDMA equations.
Venturi outlet closures can be adopted to better control velocity profiles in steam/gas applications.
Materials: solid metal alloys can be adopted as well as weld overlays in Corrosion Resistant Alloys (CRA).
Metal to metal seal contact is available as a standard solution, leakage rate Class VI. Soft seated valves are for clean fluids and tight shut off applications.
Special plates design and high peak frequencies allow standard noise reduction up to 20dB(A) thanks to velocity control (Fig. 6).
Liquid Recovery Factor up to 0.96 thanks to special plates design and multiple pressure drop stage.
Real rangeability up to 200:1 with standard trim. Customized trim can be adopted to increase the rangeability to 300:1 and above.
Resistors can be installed to increase valve’s performances when required 30dB(A) noise reduction can be reached with combined solutions.
High Inherent Cv value
VP1 valves are intrinsically self-cleaning trim and they are suitable to handle 2-phase fluids, pulp, flashing liquids and dirty fluids.
Cryogenic and high temperature design is available.
VP2 design is available for special and very severe applications.
Customized V-shape balls are available upon request to better respond to the required process conditions. Various type of liquids, gasses and steam can be controlled by these valves.
Soft seats are standard. Metal to metal seats are available for high temperatures and dirty or slurry conditions.
