Design Features

Design Characteristics

  • different KVS values
  • individual control characteristics
  • free passage possible with open valve
  • equal percentage or linear characteristic line
  • cost-effective automation
  • readily reproducible control position

The construction of the RH and RH-A control valves is based on our standard cavity-free plug valve with PTFE-sleeve. A wide range of materials for housings, plugs, as well as for sleeves or linings are available for different areas of application. If required, the control valves can also be supplied with a heating jacket. The RH-S series is fitted with an additional internal protection insert. This protection insert is recommended for protecting the sleeves when there is a high flow velocity or pressure loss and/or solid-containing mediums. The protection insert can also contribute to an increase in service life.

Operating temperatures < -30°C and > 220 °C have to be checked and approved by AZ according to the operating conditions.

Besides the P/T value of the sleeve the limitations of the valve bodies also have to be considered. Please refer to the EN 12516-1 resp. ASME B16.34 in order to choose a proper pressure rating (PN/class). The shown values refer to austenitic stainless steel 1.4408 (A351 Gr. CF8M).

1) For operating temperatures below -10°C low temperature / austenitic steels are required.
2) Sleeve: There are different sleeve materials / compounds available.

Port Forms

As standard, there are ten plugs forms available per valve size, consisting of five linear and five equal percentage control characteristics. Type “EXTRA” full bore plug valves with equal percentage control characteristics are recommended for very large flow rates (only RH and RH-S types).

Furthermore, bespoke plug forms can be calculated and designed according to customer-specific requirements that combine, for example, control properties and free passage.

Characteristics

For geometric reasons, threads are used in the flange bores in a few cases

Model structure
The data was determined by flow simulation and based on the VDI/VDE 2173 with a permissible deviation of +/- 10% (medium = water 20°C, pressure loss Δp = 1 bar).

Definition Kvs
The Kvs value designates the maximum possible throughput for a valve with a 100% opening

Definition Kv
The flow coefficient Kv [m3/h] is a specific volume flow for the following conditions:
– The pressure loss (Δp) via the valve is 105 Pa (1 bar)
– The medium is water with a temperature between 278 K and 315 K (5°C to 40°C)

Definition Cv
The flow coefficient Cv is a valve flow coefficient that does not correspond to S.I. units. It represents the number of U.S. gallons of water which flow through a valve with a pressure loss of 1 psi (68.95 mbar) at a temperature of 40°F to 100°F (4°C to 38°C) within a minute. Cv = Kv/0,865
