BERMAD Control Valves Presents:
Basic Control Valves
Goals and AgendaGoalsGetting to know more about:What a control valve is.How a control valve operates. Various kinds of control valves.
AgendaBasic concepts and termsVarious valve body patternsComparison of actuatorsValve operation characteristics as determined by actuator
Definitions PressureThe ratio of hydraulic force acting perpendicularly on unit area of surfacePressure Unitsatm., bar, m.w.h., psi, kpaFlowThe amount of liquid supplied /consumed in a given period of time. Flow units: m/h, l/sec, gpmKvFlow factor - Describes the flow rate in m/h at 1 bar pressure drop
DefinitionsUpstream pressureInlet pressureDownstream pressureOutlet pressureWorking pressureThe available inlet pressure measured upstream of the valve.Maximum pressureThe rated pressure of the valve/system.

QQP3A2P1A1P2A1P1P2TerminologyA1 = Seat areaA2 = Actuator effective areaP1 = Upstream pressureP2 = Downstream regulated pressureP3 = Upper control chamber pressureP = P1-P2Q = Flow
Principle Equation of Control Valve OperationP (pressure) x A (area) = F (force)Pressure: atm, bar, kps, psi, mwh, etc.Area: cm, mm , inch, etc.Force: kgf, N (Newton) etc.
How do changes of these variables effect the control valve?
Operational ModesClosedOpenModulating
Closed ValveA2 > A1 P3 x A2 > P1 x A1P3 = P1P2 = 0Q = 0A1A2
Closed ValveF2 - F1= Net force for drip- tight closingF2 = A2 x P3F1 = A1 x P1P1P2A2A1
Fully OpenWhich of the variables can be controlled, to modify the relative forces and thus the state of the control valve? Answer: P3
Fully Open P1 x A1 > P3(0) x A2 P2 = P1 - PP3 = 0 Q= working flowP1P2A1A2P3
Fully OpenF1 = A1 x P1P1P2A1F1= Net Force for Opening
A = D / 4 2r = DD / 4 = D x HThus for unrestrictedflow H = D1/4How Open is Open?HHH2r = D
Control Valve Basic Patterns Y-Pattern Globe Saunders Angle In-Line
Y Oblique Pattern700200
Y ObliqueAdvantages Saves energysemi-straight flowLow head lossHigher cavitation resistanceOne piece actuator unitfast serviceadvantage in vertical installationDisadvantagesHigh level of skills required for assembling & maintainingRelatively expensive
Globe Pattern200900
GlobeAdvantagesEasy to assemble & maintainLower cost
Disadvantages Loss of energyHigh head - lossTurbulent flow
AngleAdvantages Easy to assemble & maintainSaves space and accessories
All BERMAD Models are available in Angle pattern
AdvantagesSaves energy - almost full bore Low cost
DisadvantagesUnbalanced diaphragmTends to drawShort lifeDifferent types for different pressuresNo linear indication to valves position Cavitation jet to body and diaphragm at low flow conditionSaunders
In-line ValvesAdvantages Saves energy- straight flowGood performance at high differential pressureHigh cavitation resistance ProtectedDisadvantagesRequires dismounting from line for maintenanceSensitive to parts in fluidRequires up-stream filterHigh Level of skills required for assembling and maintainingExpensive when becomes commercial
In-line ValvesDisadvantages (continuance)Several Dynamic seals (stem+pistons)Requires high pressure to start opening and closing procedureIncreases leakage risk Increases body and seal erosion damageMonoblocklow diameter, long and internal tubesA small control chambersmall control orifice causes Increased reacting time at P drop
In-line ValvesDisadvantages (continuance)Double chambered only - Continuous drainingPlastic constructionrelatively low strain resistanceCumbersome, complicate and long installation
Balanced diaphragmSame diaphragm for the entire range of pressuresFull support to the flexible partSealing - resembles radial seal disc Dynamic guiding proportional to PLinear indication to valve positionSaves energy - semi straight flow 400 Series
Closing/Opening Speed Depends on:The type of actuatorPaths & control tube sizeFlow, downstream and upstream pressure
