HYDROMINE™ LFC_3B Double Acting Pneumatic Actuated Valve

HYDROMINE LFC 3B Double Acting Pneumatic Actuated Valve PIC

The HYDROMINE™ LFC_3B Double acting pneumatic actuated valve is designed to be a cost effective solution for remote isolation, level control, pump discharge control valves, and similar functions found in a pipe system.

Opening and closing of the valve is relatively simple. It uses a 24 VDC / 110 VAC / 220 VAC solenoid valve which is assisted by pneumatic or gas pressure ranging between 2 to 8 bar / 29 to 116 psi to open and close. The speed of the valve can be adjusted to any desired speed fairly quickly and easily.

The HYDROMINE™ LFC_3B Double acting pneumatic actuated valve has been developed to present a robust, simple and cost effective (up to 2.5 MPa / 363 psi) solution to fluid handling issues in any industrial sector.

LOW OPERATING TORQUE

The HYDROMINE™ LFC_3B Double acting pneumatic actuated valve is hydrostatically balanced to enable easy opening and closing at any pressure and differential conditions. It does not require the use of electrical or other actuators of any kind.

OPERATING CONDITIONS

These HYDROMINE™ LFC_3B Double acting pneumatic actuated valve is designed to operate in systems with relatively clean media like water or other liquids with a low percentage of suspended solids and chlorides . The valve's operating pH range is 2 -14 pH.

SIMPLICITY

The HYDROMINE™ LFC_3B Double acting pneumatic actuated valve is designed with only one moving part called the plug assembly, thereby minimizing the effects of multiple wearing parts. The plug assembly is a piston type arrangement that is engineered to be balanced, which uses pneumatic pressure acting in a cylinder mounted on top of the valve to function. The pneumatic cylinder is designed to overcome the water pressure inside the piping system and valve. As such, only the valve own operating torque is required to overcome the sum of the friction forces generated within the valve body, the seals, the cylinder and the weight of the plug (depending on the installation configuration).

The torque requirement is not affected by inline pressure variants and therefore makes the valve extremely reliable for actuation applications. The pneumatic actuation cylinder is simple in comparison to an electric actuator. The HYDROMINE™ LFC_3B Double acting pneumatic actuated valve can easily be fitted with limit switches to give open and closed indications.

PLUG ASSEMBLY, V-PORT AND DEALING WITH CAVITATION

As displayed, the HYDROMINE™ LFC_3B Double Acting Pneumatic Actuated Valve plug assembly and movements.

Closed Position: Shows the plug assembly on the body seat in a fully closed valve position.

5% Open Position: Shows the plug assemble in a 5% open position. It can clearly be seen that only the top of the V-Port opens and creates a flow path. This reduces cavitation and helps with fine control at low flow conditions.

12% Open Position: Shows the plug assembly in the 12% open position. Now it can be observed how the V-Port moved away from the seat and the openings are increasing proportionally. At this point the top of the V-Ports is now being exposed to the flow path.

30% Open Position: Shows the plug assembly in the 30% opened position. Now it can clearly be seen that the full V-Port is creating a larger orifice in the flow path. Up to this point, cavitation needs to be dealt with to increase the life expectancy of the valve. The V-port trim ensures that the seating elements are further apart from each other during low flow allowing the cavitation to take place on noncritical components of the valve.

40% Open Position: Shows the plug assembly in the 40% open position. Now it can clearly be seen that the V-Port is completely away from the seat and the flow path is now relatively large. At this point the flow is approaching its medium demand flow rate and the V-Port has little to no function. 

VALVE SIZING

Please consult with a technical expert at HYDROMINE™ for clarification on correct valve sizing on your specific requirements.

LOW MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENT

The HYDROMINE™ LFC_3B Double acting pneumatic actuated valve requires minimal maintenance, the majority of which can be conducted with the valve remaining in situ. All moving parts are manufactured from stainless steel which increases their reliability and durability.
