Greater CV Potential & Less Pipe Space
This butterfly valve is engineered for peak operational performance while sharply reducing the total cost of ownership. The core of this efficiency is the optimized, streamlined disc design. Unlike conventional, thicker discs, this profile dramatically minimises obstruction in the flow path, resulting in a significantly higher Cv (flow coefficient). This superior flow capability leads directly to very low pressure drops across the valve, which translates into an immediate and noticeable reduction in energy required for pumps and compressors, yielding substantial energy savings over the system's lifetime. For applications which require abrasion resistance the option of a UHMWPE (Ultra-High-Molecular-Weight-Polyethylene) is available for this particular butterfly valve.
Less space, results in less material, bringing significantly lower costs in the process. As part of Isolation applications, our valves can be fully open or fully closed with quarter turn movement (90 Degrees) of the functioning lever or actuator. When closed, the reliable seal and disc can provide 100% leak tight downstream shutoff and low-pressure loss across the valve when opened through a streamlined, energy saving metallic disc. These types of valves can also be used to regulate flow pressure or temperature through a multi-position lockable lever or 4-20mA 3-15 psi control.
Actuated Butterfly Valves are available in both pneumatic and electric operation and can be beneficial for use in remotely accessed areas, valves that require larger torque figures to operate, timing or synchronisation and reliability. Pneumatically Actuated Butterfly Valves provide the quickest form of operational control for open/close functionality and are available in both double acting and spring return units with either direct/solenoid operation. Spring Return units can be set up in a fail-safe closed mode for critical lines were the Valve will return to the closed position upon the event of power failure through the loaded springs. Fail-safe open Valves are also available upon request.
