CONTROL VALVE TYPES JACK BROWN THOMAS GOLDING Phd JANE PERKINS
Operating method We have found a short animation clip which shows how the globe valve works. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bRHGt83RWEQ There is also an interactive animation at http://www.tlv.com/global/TI/steam-theory/types-of-valves.html#globe_valves
applications • Liquids • Vapours • Gases • Slurries • Corrosive substances The most common application/example of a globe valve is a standard water tap!
Advantages • Efficient throttling – this reduces turbulence in the pipe line, thus giving a smother more controlled flow. • Accurate flow control – it would be possible to work out how many radians the wheel would need to be turned to exert any flow rate.
Disadvantages • There is high pressure drop through the valve • More expensive than other valve types, due to complexity and number of components
