Introduction to the applicable occasions of butterfly valve

Butterfly valve is one of the most commonly used valves in piping systems. It has a wide range of applications. It can not only be used to cut off the flowing medium in the pipeline, but also can be used for flow adjustment. When the

fluid in the pipeline passes through the butterfly valve, the pressure loss is about 3 times that of the gate valve, and the pressure loss is relatively large. Therefore, two factors should be considered when choosing a butterfly valve. One is the pressure loss experienced by the piping system, and the other is the pressure of the pipeline medium and the working temperature that the elastic valve seat material can withstand when the butterfly valve is closed.
The structural length of the butterfly valve is short, the overall height is also small, the operating torque is short, it can be opened and closed quickly, and fluid control can be performed well. The structural principle of the butterfly valve makes it most suitable for making large-diameter valves. When the butterfly valve is required to be used for flow control, in order to make it work more effectively, it is necessary to select the correct size and type of the butterfly valve.

What are the characteristics of the hard seal butterfly valve

Hard seal butterfly valve is a kind of butterfly valve with eccentric metal seal structure, and it is usually required to be installed horizontally in the pipeline. The sealing form of the metal hard seal butterfly valve is usually a metal-to-metal seal, and the sealing pair is composed of a metal hard material to a metal hard material. Hard-sealed butterfly valves can be driven by turbine manual, electric, pneumatic and so on.

triple offset butterfly valve-double flange- (5)

Nowadays, hard-sealed butterfly valves have been widely used in many fields such as petroleum, chemical industry, metallurgy, power generation, etc., to cut off or control the circulating medium in the pipeline system. At this stage, there is a relatively advanced hard-sealed butterfly valve, which is a triple-eccentric metal seated butterfly valve. Its body and seat are a conjoined component. On the sealing surface layer of the valve seat, a temperature-resistant and corrosion-resistant alloy material is surfacing welded. , And fix the multi-layer soft stacked sealing ring on the valve plate. The novel design allows the triple eccentric butterfly valve to overcome the shortcomings of poor sealing performance. The advantages of the triple eccentric butterfly valve are high temperature resistance, low friction when opening and closing, and when closed, the butterfly plate compensates for the seal along with the increase of the torque of the transmission mechanism, which greatly improves the sealing performance of the hard seal butterfly valve and prolongs the service life of the valve.

The advantages of the triple eccentric hard seal butterfly valve are:
1. The unique three-eccentric design enables frictionless transmission between the butterfly plate and the sealing surface of the valve body, reducing wear and extending the service life.
2. It can adapt well to low temperature, normal temperature and high temperature environment.
3. Pneumatic and electric devices can be configured according to the needs of users to meet the needs of remote control and program control.

The shortcomings of the triple eccentric hard seal butterfly valve are:
1. The butterfly plate of the hard sealing butterfly valve is fixed by multiple layers of soft and hard stacked sealing rings. When the butterfly plate is in the normally open state, the flowing medium will flush the sealing surface positively, which will affect the sealing performance of the valve over time.
2. Because the overall structure of the hard-sealed butterfly valve’s butterfly plate is too thick and the flow resistance is relatively large, the valve is not suitable for diameters below DN200.

Problems Existing in the Use of Triple Eccentric Butterfly Valves

The triple eccentric metal seated butterfly valve is a high-quality valve category with high reliability and a wide range of applications. The triple eccentric butterfly valve is composed of main components such as valve body, butterfly

plate, valve stem, multi-layer metal sealing ring, shaft seal and drive mechanism. Its advantages are solid structure, good sealing performance, small torque, easy automatic control, etc. The triple eccentric butterfly valve is suitable for a variety of demanding working conditions, and has a wide range of applications in petroleum refining, natural gas extraction, chemical industry, power stations, metallurgy, and urban heating. However, things have two sides, and there are many problems in the use of the three-eccentric metal seated butterfly valve.
1. The butterfly plate of the triple eccentric butterfly valve is fixed with multiple layers of soft and hard stacked sealing rings. When the butterfly plate is in the open state, the circulating medium will directly wash the sealing surface. The soft sealing material in the metal sheet sandwich is in the long-term wash of the medium. It will directly affect the sealing performance of the valve.
2. The triple eccentric butterfly valve is not suitable for valves with a diameter smaller than DN200 because of its own structural constraints, the entire butterfly plate is very heavy and the flow resistance is very large.
3. The sealing between the butterfly plate sealing surface and the valve seat of the triple eccentric butterfly valve is to press the butterfly plate against the valve seat by the torque of the transmission device. When the medium in the pipeline is in a state of positive flow, the higher the pressure of the medium, the tighter the sealing and squeezing. But when the medium in the pipeline flows back, the pressure of the medium may cause seal leakage.
In order to solve the problems existing in the use of the triple eccentric butterfly valve, a high-performance triple eccentric two-way metal seated butterfly valve was developed. For the two-way sealing triple eccentric 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. The sealing surface of the butterfly plate and the valve seat is an oblique cone structure, and then a high temperature and corrosion resistant alloy material is surfacing on the sealing surface of the oblique cone structure, and the spring fixed between the pressure plate of the adjusting ring and the adjusting bolt of the pressure plate are assembled together .
This special structure effectively compensates for the elastic deformation between the shaft sleeve of the triple eccentric butterfly valve and the valve body, and perfectly solves the problem that the triple eccentric butterfly valve is prone to leakage during the two-way interchangeable medium delivery process. The soft T-shaped sealing ring composed of multilayer stainless steel sheets on both sides not only has the advantages of a metal seated material, but also has the characteristics of a soft sealing material. Therefore, the three-eccentric butterfly valve with two-way sealing is suitable for both low temperature and high temperature conditions. Under the conditions, it can maintain excellent sealing performance.

Working principle and characteristics of triple eccentric butterfly valve

Triple eccentric butterfly valve, also named triple offset butterfly valve.

Nowadays, butterfly valves have been used in many industries. In the beginning, the butterfly valve was only used for the interception and communication of water media. The triple eccentric design enhances the function of the butterfly valve and has become one of the valves with excellent performance in industrial industrial pipeline equipment. The triple eccentric butterfly valve, as the name implies, is that three independent offsets are designed as valves. In reality, many people do not know which one is a triple-eccentric butterfly valve because of insufficient cognition. In this article, let’s talk about the working principle and characteristics of the triple-eccentric butterfly valve.

triple offset butterfly valve-double flange- (5)

triple offset butterfly valve-double flange- (5)

The working principle of the triple eccentric butterfly valve is that the valve body of the butterfly valve has a horizontal valve port connected to the pipeline in structure, and the valve port has a valve plate. The shaft is perpendicular to the valve port and penetrates the valve body and the valve plate. The edge of the valve plate is provided with an outer spherical surface, and the valve port is provided with a sealing surface that can be matched with the outer spherical surface. When the sealing surface and the outer spherical surface are matched and sealed, there is an eccentric distance a between the sealing line and the axis of the shaft, which is in the transverse center of the valve plate. The line is the eccentricity b between the center line of the valve port and the center line of the shaft, and there is an angle β between the connection line of the outer spherical surface and the center line of the valve port. This is the principle of the triple eccentric butterfly valve.
The triple eccentric butterfly valve cleverly puts the triple eccentricity on the valve plate, and adopts a partial outer spherical structure on the outer edge of the valve plate. This structure needs to be completed on a CNC machine with a self-designed simple fixture. The outer eccentric spherical surface is polished to reach a roughness of Ra0.4, the spherical surface is chrome-plated or made of Stellite alloy, and the hardness reaches HRC45-60.
Put the eccentric angle on the valve plate, and press the valve seat on the valve body with a pressing ring, which solves the difficulties encountered in the processing of ordinary triple eccentric butterfly valves. The valve body, valve plate and valve seat cannot be exchanged for pairing. Repair after damage A series of problems such as high cost, all parts are modularized, warehouse management is simple, processing is simple, maintenance is convenient, and the cost of spare parts is reduced.
The butterfly valve is suitable for making large-diameter valves. It can be widely used in the cutting of petroleum transportation pipelines, metallurgical steel plants, gas main pipeline adjustment and cutting, chemical smelting equipment medium adjustment and cutting, water treatment equipment inlet and outlet adjustment and shutdown, and cooling water in thermal power stations. System, natural gas, lye, sea water, acid and other industries.

The characteristics of the triple eccentric butterfly valve are as follows:
1. Simple structure, light weight, composed of only a few parts. easy to use.
2. After the valve plate is fully opened, the thickness of the butterfly plate is the only resistance for the medium to pass through the valve body. The pressure is small and the flow can be better controlled.
3. When the valve plate is closed, the specific pressure between the outer spherical surface of the valve plate and the sealing surface of the valve seat is generated by the driving torque applied to the shaft. Coupled with the elastic compensation of the M-type elastic valve seat, the sealing performance of the valve can be enhanced, and the service life is greatly improved.

The evolution of butterfly valve sealing structure: single eccentric butterfly valve, double eccentric butterfly valve and triple eccentric butterfly valve

Butterfly valves have been widely used due to their low cost, small size, light weight and long life. With the development of my country’s industry, various industries have more and more stringent requirements for the performance of equipment, especially in some gas pipelines or other hazardous material pipelines, the butterfly valve must achieve zero leakage, so the sealing structure design of the butterfly valve has always been important Research topics.

With the rapid development of modern industrial technology, butterfly valves are widely used in pipeline control systems, especially large-diameter pipeline control systems where other control valves are difficult to apply. Generally, the valve seat of the butterfly valve is a fixed type, and its materials are polymer and metal. The polymer valve seat is mainly suitable for working conditions with lower temperature. Although the metal seat butterfly valve can meet the higher temperature and pressure However, the elasticity of the metal valve seat is lower than that of the polymer valve seat, and the sealing performance is poor. The improvement of various performances of butterfly valves is closely related to its continuous improvement. For example, the development of butterfly valve sealing structure technology has successively experienced the evolution process of ordinary butterfly valve, single eccentric butterfly valve, double eccentric butterfly valve and triple eccentric butterfly valve.

Since the rotation center of the butterfly plate (that is, the center of the valve shaft) and the sealing section of the butterfly plate are set eccentrically according to a, the butterfly plate sealing surface gradually separates from the valve seat sealing surface during the opening process of the butterfly valve, and 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. When the valve is fully opened, a gap x is formed between the two sealing surfaces, so that the relative mechanical wear and extrusion between the two sealing surfaces of the butterfly valve is greatly reduced during the opening and closing process. Ensure the sealing of the butterfly valve.

Since the rotation center of the butterfly plate (that is, the center of the valve shaft) and the center line of the valve body are offset by size b on the basis of the single eccentric butterfly valve, the sealing surface of the butterfly plate will be faster than the single eccentric sealing butterfly valve during the opening process of the butterfly valve. When the butterfly plate rotates to 8°~12°, the butterfly plate sealing surface is completely separated from the valve seat sealing. When it is fully opened, a larger gap y is formed between the two sealing surfaces. This type of butterfly valve is designed , Which greatly reduces the mechanical wear and extrusion deformation between the two sealing surfaces, and improves the sealing performance of the butterfly valve.

There are different types of eccentric sealing butterfly valves, and the fields of application and their respective characteristics are naturally different. But fundamentally speaking, the basic principles of eccentric sealing butterfly valves are similar.

Structural characteristics of single eccentric butterfly valve:

single eccentric butterfly valve structure diagram

single eccentric butterfly valve structure diagram

1. The center of rotation of the disc plate (that is, the center of the valve shaft) is located on the center line of the valve body, and an A-size offset is formed on the sealing section of the valve plate. The single eccentric butterfly valve is that the rotation center of the disc plate is on the center line of the valve body, and the valve plate deviates a distance from the sealing surface, which is suitable for soft sealing.
2. When the valve is closed, the valve seat and the sealing surface of the valve plate are in a relatively interference contact state. To achieve the seal, it is mainly by pressing the sealing ring to expand in the peripheral direction to produce the sealing specific pressure and the pipeline pressure against the valve plate. It can only be sealed in one direction because of the strong force.
3. When the valve is opened, the contact side of the valve plate and the valve seat is separated from the valve seat, and the other side is always two-point contact along the axial direction of the half circumference. Repeated opening and closing of the sealing ring is easy to be damaged, which affects the sealing performance. It is impossible to achieve a metal seal.
4. From a geometric point of view, it is obvious that X does not exist in the above figure, and in turn there is a certain amount of interference.
Structural features of double eccentric butterfly valve:

double eccentric butterfly valve structure diagram

double eccentric butterfly valve structure diagram

The center of rotation of the valve plate (that is, the center of the valve shaft) forms an offset of dimension A on the sealing section of the valve plate, and forms an offset of dimension B with the center of the valve body.
Since the center line of the valve seat and the center line of the valve body form a β angle offset on the basis of the double eccentric butterfly valve, the sealing surface of the butterfly plate immediately leaves the sealing surface of the valve seat at the moment of opening during the valve opening process of the butterfly valve. Only at the moment of closing does it contact and compress the seat sealing surface. When fully opened, a gap y is formed between the two sealing surfaces, which is the same as that of the double eccentric sealing butterfly valve. The design of this type of butterfly valve completely eliminates the mechanical wear and abrasion between the two sealing surfaces, making the butterfly valve more effective in its sealing performance and use. The life span has been greatly improved.

Structural features of triple eccentric butterfly valve:

triple eccentric butterfly valve structure diagram

triple eccentric butterfly valve structure diagram

The center of rotation of the valve plate (that is, the center of the valve shaft) forms an offset A on the sealing section of the valve plate, and an offset b from the center of the valve body; the centerline of the valve body sealing surface and the centerline of the valve seat (ie the centerline of the valve body) An angular offset of β is formed.
The uniqueness of the triple eccentric butterfly valve is that the stem shaft on which the butterfly plate is installed is a three-segment shaft structure. This three-segment shaft type valve stem has two shaft sections concentric, and the center line of the central shaft is deviated from the two ends of the axis by a center distance. , The butterfly plate is installed on the intermediate shaft section. Such an eccentric structure makes the butterfly plate a double eccentric shape when in the fully open position, and a single eccentric shape when the butterfly plate rotates to the closed position. Due to the effect of the eccentric shaft, when it is close to closing, the butterfly plate moves a distance into the sealing cone surface of the valve seat, and the butterfly plate matches the sealing surface of the valve seat to achieve reliable sealing performance.

The sealing characteristics and principle of eccentric butterfly valve

Basic knowledge of eccentric butterfly valve: eccentric butterfly valve, also called offset butterfly valve; Eccentric butterfly valves can be divided into various types, generally single eccentric sealing butterfly valves, double eccentric sealing butterfly valves, and triple eccentric sealing butterfly valves. 
Features of single eccentric sealing butterfly valve:
In order to solve the problem of squeezing between the butterfly plate and the valve seat of the concentric butterfly valve, a single eccentric butterfly valve was produced. Disperse and reduce the excessive squeezing between the upper and lower ends of the butterfly plate and the valve seat. However, because the single eccentric structure does not disappear during the entire opening and closing process of the valve, the scratching phenomenon between the butterfly plate and the valve seat has not disappeared, and the application range is similar to that of the concentric butterfly valve, so it is not used much.

The single eccentric sealing butterfly valve has the following characteristics:
1. It has a sealing structure with reliable performance and long service life.
2. It has a truss structure with small flow resistance, good rigidity and small pressure loss.
3. The valve plate sealing ring is easy to replace and easy to maintain.
4. The valve plate sealing ring adopts a “T”-shaped structure, and the sealing pair is linearly sealed.
5. The bottom end of the valve adopts bimetal thrust washer, which has excellent thrust performance.
6. The valve can be installed vertically or horizontally, with good applicability.
7. This type of valve is recommended to be used in one direction, and it can be used in two directions when the reverse sealing requirements are not strict.
8. When the valve is completely closed, the leakage of the seal test is zero.
9. Replace the valve plate sealing ring, O-ring, valve body, valve plate, shaft and other materials, which can be applied to a variety of media and different temperatures.
Features of double eccentric sealing butterfly valve:
On the basis of the single eccentric butterfly valve, the double eccentric butterfly valve is the most widely used double eccentric butterfly valve. Its structural feature is that the axis of the valve stem deviates from the center of the butterfly plate and the center of the body. The double eccentric effect enables the butterfly plate to be released from the valve seat immediately after the valve is opened, which greatly eliminates unnecessary excessive extrusion and scratching of the butterfly plate and the valve seat, reduces the opening resistance, reduces wear and improves The life of the valve seat is improved. The scraping is greatly reduced, and at the same time, the double eccentric butterfly valve can also use a metal seat, which improves the application of the butterfly valve in the high temperature field. But because its sealing principle is a positional sealing structure, that is, the sealing surface of the butterfly plate and the valve seat is in line contact, and the elastic deformation caused by the butterfly plate squeezing the valve seat produces a sealing effect, so the closed position is very demanding (especially metal Valve seat), low pressure bearing capacity, which is why traditionally people think that butterfly valves are not resistant to high pressure and have large leakage.
The main features of the double eccentric butterfly valve are as follows:

1. Adopting full flow design, not affected by impurity jamming. The conjoined “O”-shaped sealing line at both ends makes the pipeline installation without gaskets and maintains a reliable seal. Different materials can be selected according to different usage requirements.
2. The butterfly plate material adopts streamlined design, which can be used in two directions, with low flow resistance and excellent flow characteristics.
3. The shaft pin adopts the unpinning structure, which can tightly combine the butterfly valve stems without weakening the strength of the shaft and has good interchangeability.
4. The valve body connection can be applied to ANSI125/150, DIN2501 PN10/16, JISB2210 10K, JIS G5527 7.5K standards.
Features of triple eccentric sealing butterfly valve:

1. API specifications
2. Double safety structure
3. No dead zone design
4. Body valve seat structure
5. Thin layer valve seat structure
6. Replaceable seal pair
7. Balanced fixed structure
8. Intrinsic refractory structure
9. High sealing packing structure
The structural feature of the triple eccentric butterfly valve is that while the double eccentric valve stem axis position is eccentric, the conical axis of the butterfly plate sealing surface is skewed to the cylinder axis of the body, that is to say, after the third eccentricity, the butterfly plate seals The cross-section is no longer a true circle, but an ellipse, and the shape of the sealing surface is therefore asymmetrical. One side is inclined to the center line of the body, and the other side is parallel to the center line of the body. The biggest feature of this third eccentricity is that the sealing structure is fundamentally changed. It is no longer a positional seal, but a torsion seal, that is, it does not rely on the elastic deformation of the valve seat, but completely relies on the contact surface pressure of the valve seat to achieve the seal. Therefore, the problem of zero leakage of the metal valve seat is solved in one fell swoop, and because the contact surface pressure is proportional to the medium pressure, the high pressure and high temperature resistance is also solved. Since its inception, the triple eccentric butterfly valve itself has undergone a process of self-improvement and continuous development in order to meet the increasingly severe requirements of working conditions. Even if the highest zero leakage is required, the triple eccentric butterfly valve can theoretically be achieved, but in fact it still relies on careful design and precision manufacturing.

Application of low temperature butterfly valve

Article title: Application of low temperature triple eccentric butterfly valve
With the rapid development of industrial technology, more stringent requirements have been put forward for valves, especially for butterfly valves used in low temperature media. In addition to meeting the performance of general valves, it is more important that butterfly valves seal under low temperature conditions. Reliability, flexibility of action and some other special requirements for cryogenic valves. Now combined with its structural characteristics, a brief introduction to the performance of the cryogenic butterfly valve is given. Remarks: The cryogenic butterfly valve we are talking about here specifically refers to the low temperature triple eccentric butterfly valve.

triple offset valve parts-after-cryogenic process

triple offset valve parts-after-cryogenic process

Requirements for sealing performance of low temperature triple eccentric butterfly valve:
There are two main reasons for the leakage of the low temperature triple eccentric butterfly valve, one is internal leakage; the other is external leakage.
1. Internal leakage of butterfly valve:
The main reason for the internal leakage of the valve is the deformation of the sealing pair in the low temperature state. When the temperature of the medium drops to a phase change of the material, the volume changes, which causes the sealing surface with high grinding accuracy to warp and deform, resulting in poor low-temperature sealing. We conducted a low temperature test on the DN250 valve. The medium was liquid nitrogen (-196 ℃) and the butterfly plate material was 1Cr18Ni9Ti (without low temperature treatment). It was found that the sealing surface warped and deformed up to about

0.12mm, which is the main cause of internal leakage. And if the plane seal of the butterfly valve is changed to a cone seal. The valve seat is an oblique cone ellipse sealing surface, which forms a sealing pair with a round elastic sealing ring embedded on the butterfly plate. The sealing ring can float radially in the butterfly plate groove. When the valve is closed, the elastic sealing ring first contacts the short axis of the elliptical sealing surface. As the valve stem rotates, the sealing ring is gradually pushed inward, forcing the elastic ring to contact the long axis of the oblique cone surface, and finally the elastic sealing ring All contact with the oval sealing surface. Its sealing is achieved by the deformation of the elastic ring. Therefore, when the valve body or butterfly plate is deformed at low temperature, it will be absorbed and compensated by the elastic sealing ring, and leakage and jamming will not occur. When the valve is opened, this elastic deformation disappears immediately, and there is basically no relative friction during the opening and closing process, so the service life is long.
2. Leakage of butterfly valve:
One is that when the valve and the pipeline are connected by flanges, leakage occurs due to the unsynchronized contraction and relaxation of the connecting gasket, connecting bolts, and connecting materials at low temperatures. Therefore, we changed the connection between the valve body and the pipeline from a flange connection to a welded structure to avoid low temperature leakage. The second is leakage at the valve stem and packing. Generally, most valve packing adopts F4 because of its good self-sliding performance, low friction coefficient (friction coefficient for steel f=0.05 ~ 0.1), and unique chemical stability, so it is widely used. However, F4 also has shortcomings. First, the tendency of cold flow is large; second, the linear expansion coefficient is large, and the cold shrinkage at low temperature causes leakage, which causes a large amount of ice at the valve stem, so that the valve fails to open. The low-temperature triple-eccentric butterfly valve developed for this purpose adopts a self-shrinking sealing structure, that is, taking advantage of the large expansion coefficient of F4, and achieves the purpose of sealing at room temperature and low temperature through the reserved gap.
Design requirements for low temperature triple eccentric butterfly valve body and stem bushing:
1. The structure and shape of the cryogenic valve shell. The correct selection of materials is of great significance to the normal and reliable operation of the valve. Compared with the stop valve and gate valve, the structural characteristics of the butterfly valve not only avoid the irregular shape and uneven shell wall thickness, which can cause problems at low temperatures. Due to the small size of the butterfly valve, the shape of the valve body is basically symmetrical, so the heat capacity is small; the pre-cooling consumption is also small; the shape is regular and it is convenient to take measures to keep the valve cold. ,
2. Selection of stem bushing: Some low-temperature triple-eccentric butterfly valves are in operation, the rotating parts of the valve are sticky, and seizure occurs from time to time. The main reason is: unreasonable selection of matching materials, too small pre-cooling clearance, and processing Causes such as low accuracy. In the development of cryogenic valves, a series of measures have been taken to prevent the occurrence of the above phenomena. For the upper and lower bushings of the valve stem, SF-1 type composite bearings with low friction coefficient and self-lubricating properties are selected, which can be suitable for some special needs of cryogenic valves. The metal-sealed butterfly valve has the characteristics that some ordinary valves do not have, especially the small flow resistance, reliable sealing, rapid opening and closing, and long service life. The triple eccentric metal sealing butterfly valve is sealed by the deformation of the elastic ring, so it does not need to rely on the force of the medium, so it can be used for two-way sealing.

Classification and features of Eccentric butterfly valves

Eccentric butterfly valves are divided into single eccentric butterfly valves, double eccentric butterfly valves, triple eccentric butterfly valves, and variable eccentric butterfly valves. Contrast with concentric butterfly valve. A butterfly valve whose stem axis deviates from the center of the disc and the center of the body at the same time, and the sealing pair is an oblique vertebra is called an eccentric butterfly valve.

Structure classification of eccentric butterfly valve:
Single eccentric butterfly valve
In order to solve the problem of the extrusion of the butterfly plate and the valve seat of the concentric butterfly valve, a single eccentric butterfly valve was produced. Its structural feature is that the shaft center of the valve stem deviates from the center of the butterfly plate, so that the lower end of the butterfly plate no longer becomes the rotation axis. Disperse and reduce the excessive squeezing between the lower end of the butterfly plate and the valve seat.
Double eccentric butterfly valve
On the basis of the single eccentric butterfly valve, the double eccentric butterfly valve is the most widely used double eccentric butterfly valve. Its structural feature is that the axis of the valve stem deviates from the center of the butterfly plate and the center of the body. The double eccentric effect enables the butterfly plate to be released from the valve seat immediately after the valve is opened, which greatly eliminates unnecessary excessive extrusion and scratching of the butterfly plate and the valve seat, reduces the opening resistance, reduces wear and improves The life of the valve seat is improved.
Triple eccentric butterfly valve
To withstand high temperatures, hard seals must be used, but the amount of leakage is large; for zero leakage, soft seals must be used, but they are not resistant to high temperatures. In order to overcome the contradiction of the double eccentric butterfly valve, the butterfly valve was eccentric for the third time. The so-called third eccentricity means that the shape of the sealing pair is not a positive cone, but an oblique cone.
Variable eccentric butterfly valve
The uniqueness of the variable eccentric butterfly valve is that the valve stem shaft where the butterfly plate is installed is a three-segment shaft structure. The three-segment shaft type valve stem has two shaft sections concentric, and the center line of the central shaft is offset from the two ends of the axis by a center distance , The butterfly plate is installed on the intermediate shaft section. Such an eccentric structure makes the butterfly plate a double eccentric shape when in the fully open position, and a single eccentric shape when the butterfly plate rotates to the closed position. Due to the effect of the eccentric shaft, when close to closing, the butterfly plate moves a

distance into the sealing cone surface of the valve seat, and the butterfly plate matches the sealing surface of the valve seat to achieve reliable sealing performance.

Features of eccentric butterfly valve:

The butterfly valve and the upper and lower valve shafts are connected by special-shaped holes and special-shaped shafts. During the opening and closing process of the butterfly plate, the function of the butterfly plate floating up and down, left and right, without a pin link, reduces the interference area between the butterfly plate and the valve seat. Thereby greatly reducing the torque. The floating structure of the butterfly plate realizes the single eccentric manufacturing process and the use function of variable eccentricity.
There is an over-position stopper for the butterfly plate in the inner cavity of the valve body to ensure that the butterfly plate is not in place when it is closed.
Bushings are used between the upper and lower valve shaft holes of the valve body cavity and the upper and lower valve shaft holes of the butterfly plate to prevent large particles in the medium from entering the valve shaft holes.

Applicable occasions of butterfly valve

Butterfly valves are suitable for flow regulation. Because the pressure loss of the butterfly valve in the pipeline is relatively large, the robustness of the butterfly plate to withstand the pressure of the pipeline medium when closing should also be considered. In addition, the working temperature limit of the elastic seat material

must be considered at high temperatures. The structure length and overall height of the butterfly valve are small, the opening and closing speed is fast, and it has good fluid control characteristics. The structure principle of the butterfly valve is most suitable for making large-diameter valves. When the butterfly valve is required for flow control, the most important thing is to correctly select the size and type of the butterfly valve so that it can work properly and effectively.

Generally, in throttling, adjustment control and mud medium, the structure length is required to be short, and the opening and closing speed is fast (1/4 turn). Low pressure cut-off (small differential pressure), butterfly valve is recommended.

Butterfly valve can be used when there are two-position adjustment, narrowing channel, low noise, cavitation and gasification, small leakage into the atmosphere, and abrasive media.

Throttle adjustment under special working conditions, or strict sealing requirements, or severe wear, low temperature (cryogenic) and other working conditions when using butterfly valves, need to use special design metal seal triple-eccentric or double eccentric Butterfly valve with adjustment device.
