Evolution of the Sealing Surface of the Triple Eccentric Butterfly Valve

December 9, 2021

The triple eccentric butterfly valve is one of the butterfly valves. Its unique sealing form and sealing structure are continuously improved and upgraded through the product to obtain a better sealing effect. There have been great reforms in high temperature and corrosion resistance. Let’s take a look at its product upgrade process.

The butterfly valve’s single eccentric soft-seal butterfly valve is the first to be favored by the market. Because of the design of the soft seal, the product has a good sealing effect. Single eccentricity means that the sealing section of the valve seat is eccentric relative to the center of rotation of the valve stem, so that the sealing surface of the butterfly plate gradually separates from the sealing surface of the valve seat during the opening process. When the butterfly plate rotates to 20-25, the sealing surface of the butterfly plate is completely separated from the sealing surface of the valve seat, so that the relative mechanical wear and extrusion between the two sealing surfaces of the butterfly valve is greatly reduced during the opening process, and the sealing performance of the butterfly valve is improved. This design mainly relies on the elastic deformation of the squeezing between the butterfly plate and the valve seat to ensure the sealing of the butterfly valve.
In order to meet the needs of the site, to achieve the effect that the sealing surface of the butterfly plate is separated from the sealing surface of the valve seat faster than the single eccentric structure, the double eccentric sealing butterfly valve is upgraded on the basis of the single eccentric butterfly valve. The lines are relatively offset, so that the butterfly valve forms a cam effect during the opening process. When the butterfly plate rotates to 8°~12°, the two sealing surfaces can be completely separated. The biggest benefit of this structural design is to further reduce the mechanical wear and extrusion deformation between the two sealing surfaces, which improves the sealing performance of the butterfly valve and increases the lifespan.
The triple eccentric sealing butterfly valve is once again upgraded on the basis of the double eccentric butterfly valve. The center line of the seat sealing surface and the valve center line form an angular eccentricity, and a third eccentricity appears. In this way, during the opening process, the sealing surface of the butterfly plate can be separated from the sealing surface of the valve seat immediately, and will contact and compress the sealing surface of the valve seat at the moment of closing. This unique eccentric design makes full use of the benefits of the cam, so that the mechanical friction and scratches between the two sealing surfaces of the butterfly valve seal pair can be completely eliminated when opening and closing, so that the possibility of wear and leakage is eliminated. The product changes the extrusion seal into a torque seal. By adjusting the external driving torque, the adjustment of the seal specific pressure is realized, so that the sealing performance and service life of the triple eccentric structure sealing butterfly valve are greatly improved. At the same time, while ensuring a tight seal, it also improves the characteristics of the sealing sub-materials of the single-eccentric soft-seal butterfly valve and the double-eccentric soft-seal butterfly valve that cannot withstand high temperature and wear.
Now, the triple eccentric sealing butterfly valve is widely used as the best device to cut off or adjust the flow of the medium pipeline in the urban construction, petrochemical, metallurgy, electric power and other industries. Its structure itself is the most ideal opening and closing part in pipelines, and it is the development direction of today’s pipeline opening and closing parts.

Two-way triple eccentric butterfly valve

December 8, 2021

The two-way hard-sealed butterfly valve is a valve product that has been developed rapidly in recent years. From the earliest centerline butterfly valve to the later triple eccentric sealing butterfly valve to the current triple eccentric two-way sealing structure, the hard sealing butterfly valve has greatly reformed and improved its own sealing performance. In the course of this evolution and development, leading valve manufacturers have paid tremendous hard work and efforts.

cryogenic triple offset butterfly valve 1

Let’s first take a look at the sealing characteristics of the two-way hard-sealed butterfly valve. Its sealing material is forged with metal or materials with strong hardness. It has strong durability and longer service life than ordinary valve products. However, because of the material characteristics of the sealing surface, the sealing performance is worse than that of ordinary butterfly valves. Make it completely sealed. But now, with the improvement of technology, there have been the emergence of multi-layer hard sealing butterfly valves, which can achieve zero leakage and have the dual advantages of soft and hard sealing.
The seat sealing surface of the two-way hard sealing butterfly valve adopts alloy material butt welding form, high temperature resistance, easy to operate, and the opening and closing torque is transmitted to the valve stem without friction, which greatly improves the sealing performance of the sealed butterfly valve and prolongs its service life. Its main technical feature is the advantages of sealing two-way. This structure effectively compensates for the pressure of the medium, and can achieve zero-leakage sealing performance regardless of whether it is at low temperature or high temperature.
Science and technology are developing, and society is also progressing. In the past ten years of development, the two-way hard seal butterfly valve has made great progress in product development, performance, quality, reliability, and service. The market prospects are optimistic. In the future, valve manufacturers will also make greater efforts to continuously innovate and formulate development paths in terms of electricity, water, and materials. Speed up the elimination of low-efficiency and high-energy-consuming butterfly valve products, adjust the industrial structure, and promote the development and promotion of new technologies and products. At present, some long-established manufacturers already have their own multi-system butterfly valve products. If you want to purchase two-way hard-sealed butterfly valves, Tanghai Valve is your first choice.

Compared with ordinary butterfly valves, the two-way hard-to-hard seal butterfly valve has the biggest difference in that it does not require the installation direction, that is, the direction of its input and output is uncertain. Ordinary butterfly valves are one-way and have restrictions on the installation direction. In addition to this, there is another point to pay attention to when installing the two-way hard-to-hard seal butterfly valve, that is, it cannot be installed and used in places with too much pressure.
Why can’t the two-way hard-to-hard sealing butterfly valve be used in places with too much pressure? Now let’s take a look at the reasons:
1. Because the valve plate is in a normally open state, the sealing ring fixed on the valve plate is multi-layered, that is, multi-layer soft and hard stacked sealing ring. In the normally open state, the medium will flush its sealing surface positively. If the pressure is too high, the soft sealing tape in the metal sheet sandwich will be easily washed away and cause leakage.
2. At the same time, because the overall structure of the valve plate of the two-way hard-to-hard seal butterfly valve is generally thicker, the flow resistance is also relatively large. If it is installed in a place with high pressure, the flow resistance and friction can be imagined, and the damage to the sealing surface will be great.
3. Because this product is a two-way seal, the product seal is mainly to press the valve plate against the valve seat through the torque of the transmission device. The greater the pressure, the tighter the seal, but it should be in a positive flow state at this time. But if the medium in the flow channel flows backwards, if it is installed in a pipeline position with too much pressure, it is easy to cause the positive pressure of the seal between the valve plate and the valve seat to be less than the medium pressure, and leakage will occur.
The two-way hard-to-hard sealing butterfly valve has many advantages, including: it is not hindered by forward pressure and reverse pressure, and can be reliably shut off; the two sealing surface materials of the sealing pair can choose different functional materials according to different hardness; there is automatic The centering function can automatically overtravel to compensate for wear. In addition, a series of advantages such as small size, light weight, convenient transportation, installation, maintenance and repair, and reliable operation make the two-way hard-to-hard seal butterfly valve more and more popular in the market. If you have relevant needs, please consult Tanghai Valve and choose your suitable valve product.

Purchasing precautions for handle butterfly valves

December 7, 2021

When purchasing handle butterfly valves, it is not enough to only know the product specifications, categories and working pressure requirements, and it is impossible to achieve a good balance. Because different handle butterfly valve manufacturers have their own corporate standards and product personality, and some non-standard

JIS 10K-wafer butterfly valve-backup seat (4)

production to meet different customer requirements, it is unscientific to purchase valves based on rigid requirements such as specifications. So what should we refer to? There are mainly several aspects, including working pressure, caliber, what medium to pass, and what to use, etc. When purchasing valves, detailed technical parameters must be listed and a consensus must be reached with the valve manufacturer. Below we introduce in detail:
1. Working conditions
Valve specifications and types should be combined with the requirements of pipeline planning documents, that is, working conditions. The model of the valve should indicate the national standard number it is based on. The working pressure of the valve, the working pressure of the pipeline, and the working pressure that the valve can take over should be greater than the actual working pressure of the pipeline. Either side of the valve in the closed state should be able to take over 1.5 times the valve working pressure without leakage. When the handle butterfly valve is in the open state, the valve body needs to be able to take over twice the pressure of the valve. The valve manufacturing standard should be clearly based on the national standard number.
2. Valve standard quality
The material of the valve body should be mainly carbon steel and stainless steel. Stem material, stainless steel stem that is not easy to rust is more commonly used, and the nut material is mostly brass or bronze. The material of the sealing surface can be divided into metal seal and soft seal. The valve seat and valve plate are made of metal material, which is a hard seal, including stainless steel, ductile iron, etc. If one side between the valve seat and the valve plate is made of elastic material such as rubber, tetrafluoroethylene, etc., it is a soft sealing butterfly valve. When purchasing soft-seal handle butterfly valves, the physical, chemical and hygienic testing data of the valve plate lining material should be clear. For the sanitary, anti-aging performance, and wear resistance of the handle butterfly valve, you must also understand the manufacturer.
The above is the best technical knowledge to know when purchasing handle butterfly valves. At present, many valve factory products in our country still have the shortcomings of internal leakage, low appearance quality, short life, inflexible operation, and unreliable valve electric and pneumatic devices. Some high temperature, high pressure and valves required on key devices still rely on imports. Therefore, in order to make a breakthrough in the industry, Tanghai Valve has a clear focus on the concept of boutique: whether it is the exhibits at the exhibition or the parts seen by the visiting enterprises, the appearance of Tanghai Valve is neat and delicate, and the parts protection is in place. Small parts Use plastic protective covers, wooden seats and leather pads for large parts. These details are countless, all in order to establish a better brand image and increase the trust of new customers in the product. If you want to purchase handle butterfly valves, please come to Tanghai to visit and purchase, more professional and more assured.

Instructions for the safe use of resilient seated flanged butterfly valves

December 6, 2021

The resilient seated flanged butterfly valve has the characteristics of small opening torque, flexibility and convenience, labor-saving and energy-saving. The sealing form of the soft seal has reliable performance and can achieve no leakage. Therefore, the use of flange soft-seal butterfly valve is very wide, and it has its presence in all major pipeline systems, and its safe use has gradually attracted attention.

Double flange butterfly valve (16)

First of all, the safety of the valve piping system must first consider the main valve. A soft-seal flanged butterfly valve is required to be used as a safety master valve. The function is to cut off and connect the entire pipeline system. In normal production, it is also in the normally open state. The main valve is generally not used to adjust the flow rate and should be installed at the inlet of the main pipeline.
Secondly, a main valve is also needed at the inlet of the branch pipeline. The butterfly valve here is mainly used to control the branch pipeline safely. In addition to the cut-off function, the main valve of the branch pipeline also has the function of adjusting the flow rate. Adjust the flow rate to meet the needs of the branch pipeline flow size, and strictly follow a certain ratio, which is adjusted and controlled by the main valve of each branch pipeline. There should be two flanged soft-seal butterfly valves or safety valves that are often switched on or off or used for adjustment. One of the butterfly valves is spare and is normally open and not in use. A spare valve can be used if there is a problem with the working butterfly valve, so that it will not affect the production. After repairing, a butterfly valve is still reserved as a spare.
On liquid and gas pipelines, a safety drain valve is required at the lowest point or at a suitable place. The function is to empty the medium blocked in the pipeline to avoid air resistance in the pipeline. Because the gas in the pipe will reduce the pipe section, increase the transmission resistance, reduce the flow rate, and affect production. For some special liquids that will dissolve gas after a certain period of time and cannot be discharged during operation, it is also necessary to drain the butterfly valve.
The closing of the resilient seated flanged butterfly valve also has safety requirements. After the valve is closed tightly, some media will also change as the temperature changes, and the thermal expansion of the valve components will increase the pressure between the butterfly valve and the valve seat. When it is turned on again, it will inevitably bring difficulties. Therefore, the torque required to open the valve will be greater than the torque required to close the valve. The resilient seated flanged butterfly valve needs to overcome the increase of static friction due to the increase of the pressure between the sealing surfaces due to the temperature change. Because of the friction between the sealing surfaces, when the valve is closed and opened again, the required torque is much larger than the torque required to close the valve.

What is a triple eccentric metal seated butterfly valve

November 30, 2021

The triple eccentric metal seated butterfly valve is classified from the multi-level metal seated butterfly valve. Named because of the triple eccentricity structure. Its sealing performance is as good as the soft sealing butterfly valve, and it can maintain a good seal even in a high-pressure and high-temperature environment. It is often used for heating, gas, and gas, oil, acid and alkali environments, and appears in industrial pipelines such as petrochemical, food, medicine, textile, paper, electricity, sewage treatment, water supply and drainage, and smelting. A variety of gas, liquid, semi-fluid and micro-particle powder transportation pipelines or containers also play an important role. In more and more sites, it has gradually begun to replace electric gate valves and stop valves. And the installation position of the triple eccentric metal seated butterfly valve can be arbitrary, which is very convenient.

triple eccentric butterfly valve-wafer-lug-double flange-welded (5)

Let’s take a look at its structural characteristics and principle of action:
1. The difference between the triple eccentric metal seated butterfly valve and the ordinary butterfly valve is the triple eccentric design structure. The advantage of this structure is that there is less friction and no wear during the opening and closing process, which greatly extends the service life of the valve. The disc installation center and the rotation center are designed with a strict eccentricity.
2. The valve seat of this product is embedded with O-shaped rubber ring or fluorine plastic as the sealing gasket. This greatly compensates for the lack of tight sealing of the hard seal butterfly valve, while retaining the advantage of strong applicability of the hard seal. When the medium pressure is introduced into the sealing groove, the product seal squeezes the valve seat sealing surface to the butterfly plate under pressure to seal the valve. This unique sealing structure makes the greater the pressure, the stronger the sealing force.
3. The advantage of the triple eccentric metal seated butterfly valve is also reflected in the later maintenance. Once the sealing ring leaks, the valve can be fine-tuned to the required size by the adjusting screw to the direction of the butterfly plate without disassembling the valve, and the sealing performance of the new valve can be regained, which is a very valuable advantage.
4. In addition to the manual type, the product also has three categories and six series of products such as pneumatic and electric, which fully meets the needs of the site.
On the occasion of use, the triple eccentric metal seated butterfly valve is very suitable for working conditions where the temperature is high and leakage is not allowed, and the medium is impure and impurity, such as cement plants and power plants. And the sealing can be improved by surfacing the sealing surface and improving the strength of the valve seat. If the working conditions allow certain leakage, the ventilation butterfly valve is better to use.

How to prevent the motor of electric flange butterfly valve from overloading

November 29, 2021

The torque and axial force of the valve electric actuator are limited, so usually the valve electric device uses a torque-limiting coupling. Most of the torque type is three-jaw connection or key connection, and the valve electric device does not bear the axial thrust. Most of the thrust type is threaded connection, which can bear larger axial thrust. What determines the execution torque of an electric actuator? It is mainly determined by the specifications of the electric device. The overload operation of the electric flange butterfly valve motor is actually a manifestation of the working torque of the motor being higher than the control torque. The following several situations may cause the motor to run at an overload, which needs our attention.

Double flange butterfly valve (16)

1. When the power supply voltage is low and the required torque cannot be obtained, stop the motor;
2. Wrongly adjust the torque limit mechanism to make it larger than the stopping torque, causing continuous excessive torque and stopping the motor;
3. Using intermittently, the heat accumulation generated exceeds the allowable temperature rise value of the motor;
4. For some reason, the torque limit mechanism circuit breaks down, the torque is too large and the ambient temperature is too high, and the thermal capacity of the motor is relatively reduced, which may cause the motor to overload.
5. The motor model does not match the requirements of the electrical equipment, and the actual output torque does not have enough corresponding margin, which may cause damage to the motor during overload operation.
Generally speaking, there are two ways to protect the motor: one is to judge the increase or decrease of the input current of the motor; the other is to judge the heating of the motor itself. The basic protection method to prevent the motor from overloading is: using a thermostat to protect the motor from continuous operation or jog operation; using a thermal relay to protect the motor from stalling; using a fuse or overcurrent relay for short-circuit accidents. Most electrical equipment manufacturers connect the stroke and torque protection in series. When over-travel or over-torque, the micro switch cuts off the AC contactor coil control power in time, thereby cutting off the main circuit of the motor. Or there is a temperature control switch in the motor. When the valve motor is over-torque or running for a long time, the temperature of the motor rises. When the temperature exceeds the set temperature value, the temperature control switch immediately cuts off the control circuit to protect the motor.
During operation, the rotation direction of the handwheel of the electric device is always the same as the rotation direction of the output shaft, clockwise is to close the valve, and counterclockwise is to open the valve. If the actual rotation direction of the motor does not conform to the regulations, any two phases of the three-phase power supply need to be replaced. Otherwise, the protection measures will be ineffective and the motor will be damaged due to reverse phase.

How to select electric actuator of the electric regulating butterfly valve

November 25, 2021

The valve electric actuator is an important driving force of the electric regulating butterfly valve, and its selection determines the actual on-site operation of the product. At the same time, the selection of electric actuators has some own selection criteria. Mainly from the operating torque, host structure, output shaft rotation, output speed, etc. to consider, more detailed principles will be shared below:
1. The operating torque is an important parameter for selecting the valve electric device. The output torque of the electric actuator should be 1.2 to 1.5 times the larger operating torque of the valve.

D943H-16C-metal seated stainless steel electric triple offset butterfly valve

2. The main structure of the valve electric device is divided into two types: without thrust plate and with thrust plate. The main difference between the two is whether the torque is directly output or converted by the stem nut in the thrust plate.
3. The number of rotations of the output shaft is related to the nominal diameter of the valve, the pitch of the stem, and the number of thread heads. The total number of rotations that the electric device should meet = valve opening height/stem thread head number X valve Rod drive thread pitch.
4. The diameter of the optional valve stem must be allowed to pass by the electric device. That is to say, the inner diameter of the hollow output shaft of the electric device must be larger than the outer diameter of the stem of the rising stem valve. At the same time, in order to ensure that the electric regulating butterfly valve can work normally after assembly, the diameter of the valve stem and the size of the keyway need to be selected appropriately.
5. The output speed needs to be appropriate. If the opening and closing speed of the valve is too fast, water hammer is likely to occur. So choose according to the usage.
The above are the problems that need to be paid attention to in the selection of the electric valve electric actuator of the electric regulating butterfly valve. In terms of packaging and transportation, there are also some points to pay attention to regarding valve electrical equipment. First of all, the packaging of electrical equipment such as valve electric actuators should be protected from rain, moisture, and dust, and the packaging should be firm and reliable. After receiving the goods, they should be installed immediately. If it needs to be placed for a period of time, the storage environment should be kept ventilated and dry, and it should not be stored in the open air. At the same time, it is forbidden to carry out debugging and maintenance on cloudy and rainy days. After the pressure test is completed, re-tighten all the firmware to ensure that the electrical part is tightly sealed to prevent corrosion loss and affect later use.
The valve electric actuator of the electric regulating butterfly valve is an indispensable device for the realization of valve program control, automatic control and remote control. Its movement process is controlled by the stroke, torque or axial thrust. The correct selection of valve electric devices is essential to prevent overload.

Field Application of Electric resilient seated Wafer Butterfly Valve

November 22, 2021

The electric resilient seated butterfly valve is actually a kind of electric control valve system. It is a high-performance valve upgraded from the ordinary butterfly valve category. It also uses electrical operation during operation. Therefore, the most obvious advantage of the electric resilient seated butterfly valve is that it is quite simple and easy to control.

triple eccentric butterfly valve-wafer-lug-double flange-welded (5)

In today’s society, various electrified operating systems have replaced old equipment, electrification and intelligence are no longer unfamiliar words to us. To keep up with the rapid development of the valve industry, constant humane upgrades are essential. In the past, companies had to set up manpower specifically for valve operation and management, but now the birth of electric resilient seated butterfly valves allows companies to no longer consume this cost. It has unique structure, flexible operation, labor saving and convenient. If the sealing material is matched with stainless steel and nitrile oil-resistant rubber, the service life can be effectively extended.
In terms of composition, the electric resilient seated wafer butterfly valve is composed of wafer butterfly valve and small electric actuator. Its structure is compact, and it is easy to switch by 90°. Its valve body material is usually cast iron, ductile iron, stainless steel, copper alloy, aluminum alloy. Disc materials are usually: ductile iron, stainless steel, corrosion-resistant steel, titanium steel, copper alloy. The valve seat material is usually nitrile nitrile, ethylene propylene, neoprene, Hypolon, polytetrafluoroethylene, natural rubber, etc. The choice of material makes the valve more sealed and reliable, and it is widely used in water supply and drainage systems such as water plants, power plants, steel plants, papermaking, chemical industries, and catering, as adjustment and cut-off use. While saving manpower, it greatly reduces the damage to working conditions and personnel. For example, in some special toxic or polluting working conditions, the electric resilient seated wafer butterfly valve does not require long-term contact by personnel, but only a light switch. , So the humanized management is a great improvement.
The reason why the electric resilient seated wafer butterfly valve can have such a good development in modern times is due to the increase of valve export products, so the market also puts forward higher requirements for valve standards. Valve quality and sales channels have become key competitive factors. Therefore, while competing for channels, manufacturers pay more attention to product technology research and development, quality, packaging, and delivery period will have higher requirements. In the future, the production process and R&D process of electric resilient seated wafer butterfly valve products will be more closely integrated with environmental protection and energy.

How to replace valve packing for triple eccentric sealing butterfly valve

November 19, 2021

Although we are not focusing on valve packing during the procurement and use of triple eccentric butterfly valves, in fact packing has a great influence on the service life of the valve. If we find that the upper cavity is leaking during the pressure test, it is likely to be caused by the leakage of the packing. Wrong type of packing, packing leakage will cause internal leakage and greatly affect the service life.

D673H-16C-stainless steel pneumatic triple eccentric butterfly valve

There are many reasons for packing leakage. For example, the packing is the sealing effect of the pressure of the gland in the valve. After operation, the packing will age and become hard, especially the frequently used triple eccentric sealing butterfly valve, the friction between the valve stem and the packing is reduced, and it is easy to leak water and steam. At this time, the valve packing needs to be replaced. In normal times, we also need to regularly replace the valve packing through the investigation. Let’s take a look at how to replace the valve packing.
When replacing the packing for the triple eccentric sealing butterfly valve, for small valves with gland nuts, you can use a wire hook to clean the packing, put the asbestos rope clockwise around the valve stem and re-install the packing surface, and then tighten the gland nut. . Do not use excessive force when installing the nut to prevent tripping or breakage. If it still leaks after replacement, tighten it again until it does not leak. For large valves with flange glands, square or round asbestos ropes braided into strands can be cut into small sections according to the required length and laminated, and the joints of each layer should be staggered by 180°. When tightening the gland, the bolts on both sides should be compressed alternately to prevent the gland from breaking due to uneven force, and the rotation of the valve skewer should be checked to ensure the flexible rotation of the valve stem.
It is important to mention here that many developed countries do not allow the use of asbestos-containing valves. This is because asbestos has slight carcinogens, so triple-eccentric sealing butterfly valves with asbestos plates on the sealing surface are firmly not allowed to be used in drinking water. It can be considered to use full graphite or 314 or tetrafluoroethylene instead.
The triple eccentric sealing butterfly valve is widely applicable and easy to use. It has the advantage that it can be applied to a variety of working conditions by replacing the sealing pair, which is very popular.

Precautions for the use of triple eccentric metal seated butterfly valve

November 16, 2021

Triple eccentric hard-sealed butterfly valves are generally metal seated butterfly valves, which have an eccentric metal sealing structure. Sealing forms include metal-to-metal sealing, stainless steel plate and graphite composite plate sealing ring to metal sealing, etc. The driving methods are mainly electric, manual, turbo rod transmission,

D673H-16C-stainless steel pneumatic triple eccentric butterfly valve

pneumatic and so on. The triple eccentric hard-seal butterfly valve is very popular in the market. It maintains the advantages of the centerline butterfly valve and discards the disadvantage of the poor sealing performance of the metal seal. It is a more promising product in the market. Let’s take a look at the problems we need to pay attention to in use:
1. The triple eccentric hard sealing butterfly valve is a multi-layer soft and hard stacked sealing ring, which is also a very significant feature of the triple eccentric hard sealing butterfly valve. The seat sealing ring is composed of multiple layers of stainless steel sheets on both sides of the soft T-shaped sealing ring. When the valve plate is in the normally open state, the medium will form a positive scouring on its sealing surface, and the soft sealing tape in the metal sheet sandwich will directly affect the sealing performance after being scoured.
2. The valve will be restricted by the structural conditions, so the structure is not suitable for valves with a diameter below DN200, because the overall structure of the valve plate will be too thick and the flow resistance will be large.
3. The principle of the valve’s triple eccentric structure. The sealing between the sealing surface of the valve plate and the valve seat is to press the valve plate against the valve seat by the torque of the transmission device. It is a self-sealing property. That is, when the medium is flowing in the forward direction, the higher the medium pressure, the tighter the sealing and squeezing. However, in general, when the flow channel medium flows back, as the medium pressure increases, the unit positive pressure between the valve plate and the valve seat is less than the medium pressure, the seal will begin to leak.
Is there a solution to the inability to achieve two-way sealing? Butterfly valve manufacturers add an adjustment ring between the pressure plate and the valve seat to achieve a very ideal two-way hard seal. The sealing surface of the valve plate and the valve seat of the triple eccentric sealing butterfly valve is an oblique cone structure, and temperature-resistant and corrosion-resistant alloy materials are surfacing welded on the oblique cone surface of the valve plate. A structure in which the spring fixed between the pressure plate of the adjusting ring and the adjusting bolt of the pressure plate are assembled together. This structure effectively compensates for the tolerance zone between the shaft sleeve and the valve body and the elastic deformation of the valve stem under the medium pressure, and solves the sealing problem of the valve in the two-way interchangeable medium conveying process.
When the medium flows backward, the seal between the valve plate and the valve seat depends on the torque of the driving device to press the valve plate against the valve seat. With the increase of the reverse medium pressure, when the unit positive pressure between the valve plate and the valve seat is less than the medium pressure, the deformation energy stored by the spring of the adjusting ring after being loaded compensates for the tight pressure of the sealing surface of the valve plate and the valve seat Play the role of automatic compensation.
The triple eccentric hard seal butterfly valve adopts a soft T-shaped multi-layer stainless steel sheet on both sides to form a sealing ring. It has the dual advantages of metal hard and soft sealing, and has zero leakage sealing performance regardless of low temperature and high temperature. In the future, it may also replace gate valves and ball valves.
