High-performance butterfly valves

1. Disc and Shaft Design High-performance butterfly valves have a double-eccentric design. First, the sealing plane of the disc is offset from the axis of rotation. This provides an uninterrupted circular sealing surface on the disc that makes it possible for a circular sealing element to be placed in the valve. It can be easily removed from the valve without disassembly of the shaft/disc closure elements. Second, the axis of rotation of the disc is laterally displaced from the true centre of the disc so that it will "cam" away from the seat to eliminate jamming or squeezing as the valve is opened and closed. This design eliminates wear points around the disc at the top and bottom of the seat. When closing, the disc cams tightly into its seat to create a bubble-tight seal with consistent torque. This eccentric rotation has a tremendous impact of extending the duration of the valve's leak-free performance. 2. Seat Design There are many seat designs. Metal seats provide consistent, long-lasting shutoff, but they are not considered bubble-tight. Services which require 100% tight shutoff must rely on soft seats, which are made for instance of PTFE and Filled PTFE. The principle of double eccentricity:

Triple eccentric butterfly valves

With the triple eccentric construction the metal seated butterfly valve ensures an ideal conical sealing principle. Even at extreme temperature fluctuations and pressure tops by the optimal interpretation of three times eccentric geometry and your special features reliable function and tightness is guaranteed for a long time. Lowest torques and the non-appearance of lot breaking moments become obtained by conical literature geometry. Gas tightness, sticking free function and pressure customization are broader advantages of this construction. The three offsets are: 1E - the centre of rotation is offset from the tightness surface to allow a total contact around the complete seal 2E - the centre of rotation of the disc is offset from the pipe centreline to allow a cleaning opening valve 3E - the third offset due to the seal cone tilting cancels jamming and friction and allows complete tightness without seal

deformation (solid seats).

To summarize this kind of butterfly valves we can enumerate the following advantages: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Excellent durability of seat part and low operating torque by non-rubbing characteristics with triple offset construction. Bi-directional zero leakage service by resilient metal sealing and torque seating. Unrestricted selection of face-to-face dimensions for API, ASME (ANSI), BS, DIN and another standards. The design and the choice of materials allows a large working temperature range (from -196C up to +700C). The profiled disc reduces the pressure drop and allows a high Cv value for regulation applications. Also to get in fire safe design which allows the use of these valves on every combustible medium application.
