HIGH PERFORMANCE VALVES

SUMMARY OF THE PRODUCT ADVANTAGES

The double-eccentric construction offers advantages in applications with

high pressure and temperature loads.

 Top flange conforms to EN/ISO 5211 
 Monobloc body with overrunning safety device.
 Straight-through shaft for maximum flexural rigidity. 
 The shaft is carried in maintenance-free, excess-length, corrosion-
proof and temperature-stable PTFE bearings. This ensures exact

positioning of the valve disc.

 Spring-supported PTFE seat ring guarantees absolute tightness


and compensates for wear. Replacement of the seat ring without
dismantling shaft and valve disc. 
 Clamping ring protects seat ring from abrasion and erosion.
 Fittangentially
and proper connection between disc and shaft by means of
arranged taper pins.

Hardened bearing rings for exact centering of the valve disc.

Valve disc located in double-eccentric bearings results in low

torque and reduces wear.
All sealing surfaces are mechanically microfinished.

 Self-readjusting shaft seal. 

 

R-PTFE SEAT INCONEL

The elasticity of the seat ring guarantees sealing according to
DIN 3230-BO, Part 3, Leakage Rate 1 (thight): Leak test with
air. The constant test pressure corresponds to the permissible
working pressure at 20 °C, not exceeding 6 bar. The number
of appearing bubbles must be in accordance with the DIN
standard.
The seat ring made of Inconel and is extremely temperature-
stable. Tightness according to DIN 3230-BN, Part 3, Leakage
Rate 1 (tight): Testing conditions corresponding to DIN 3230-
BO, Part 3, Leakage Rate 1, but test media water.

PTFE - VALVES

SUMMARY OF PRODUCT ADVANTAGES

 Top flange conforms to EN/ISO 5211.

 EBRO Butterfly valves comply with the requirements of the
Heating System Regulations dated May 1998.

 The one piece disc/shaft with centric bearing is safe against 
expulsion and, including the whole safety sealing, PTFE-coated.
The virgin PTFE-coating of the disc is 3 mm in thickness as a
minimum.
 
 The shaft is carried in triple, maintenance-free bearings.
 The proven design of the sealing between the valve disc and the
body liner ensures safe long-term operation due to the lack of 
critical transistional zones.

 Double sealing at both shaft passages as standard. 

Primary sealing (= main sealing) Transmitting prestress by means
of a maintenance-free Belleville spring washer assembly.
Secondary sealing (= EBRO safety sealing) is achieved by a
matching cobination of PTFE gaskets and additional O-Rings.

 The PTFE seal is isostatically pressed and PTFE-coated with a mi-

nimum thickness of 3 mm (see picture 2). The wide chambered
sealing serves as a double-sided sealing of the flange.

Due to its design, the inner contour of the body ensures optimi-
zed contact pressure of the resilient elastomer. An opening and
closing unnecessary loads which affect the liner are avoided.

 The liner has a stable design.

The faying surfaces of the shaft sealing are isostatically pressed.

 The operational surfaces of the shaft sealing are mechanically 

machined to fit accurately. Due to the lack of recovery violent
adaption damages PTFE which is generally avoided by this
construction.

 The sealing surface without critical transitional zones ensures 

perfect 360° sealing of the passage area. Kv-Values as well as
opening and closing torques are optimized, long
service life is guarenteed.

RESILIENT SEATED VALVES

SUMMARY OF THE PRODUCT ADVANTAGES

 The shaft safety device prevents inadvertant shaft removal when

fitting actuators or undertaking maintenance procedures.

 EBRO Butterfly valves comply with the requirements of the

Heating System regulations dated 1st June 1994.

 The special construction of the liner* (incorporating location

beads for positioning within the body to prevent „working“ in 

operation) efficiently seals against the medium, the shaft
locations and the connecting pipeworks flanges. Supplementary
gasket seals for the adjacent flanges are not required.

 The sealing surface of the disc being mirror finished guarentees
the benefit of low operating torque and tight valve sealing up to
the maximum working pressure 16 bars. This design gives high
flow characteristics. 
 The valve body is completely precision machined in order that
the valve liner with shaft locations can be accurately positioned
to ensure minimal operational wear and an extended reliable
service life.

 The shaft is carried in multiple bearings with shaft deflection due to

high pressure being prevented, thus ensuring optimal guidance,

positive location and long service life.

 Around the centre of the whole circumference of the liner is a

raised locating ring to engage with an corresponding recess
in the valve body, thus assuring the exact position of the liner.
 Positive location and retention of the liner within the body is
by means of circumferential lug profiles on the liner with

matching recesses in the body.

 The collars at the shaft locations ensure accurate positioning

of the liner within the valve body (sizes DN 250 and larger
have an integral vulcanized in steel ring).

The end connection sealing faces of the liner have a convex 

form. During assembly of the valve into the pipeline controlled
deformation of the volume of the liner achieved when clam-
ping between flanges (see picture 1). This controlled deforma- 
tion restricts any increase in operating torque and eliminates
damage to or destruction of the elastomers. picture 2
