Boosters and Control Valve Assemblies

06/09/2009 3:31 AM

Hai, in a control valve assembly it is found that boosters are needed in fast acting loops and positioners are related or utilised in slow control loop, but those processes are intermediate between that , for those processes what to do? kindly tell me but dont sat that deepends upon process condition or criteria of the plant or that perticular loop.

2. Is there any practical way to delete or resolve CAVITATION AND FLASHING IN control valve.

ANS: Mines have think and collect one probable ans that i want to share with u, ie. o/p velocity of the fluid from a control valve must be less than 13 m/s.Please give some more .

3. IS booster is required in steel sector and is positioner essential for pneumatic control valves.Why and why not? give explanations behind it.

4.The graph against (d2/D2) vs %of pressure loss gives the answer of net pressure loss of Square edge and conical, but how to find the net pressure loss of quadrant edge orifice.? kindly help me in this .

Regards.

Sanchayan.

<...what to do? kindly tell me but dont sat that deepends upon process condition or criteria of the plant or that perticular loop...>

OK, fine. What is to be stated, then, if it does depend upon process conditions?

<...boosters are needed in fast acting loops...>

If something happens in less than 1 sec, then, in a process plant, it isn't real.

<...Is there any practical way to delete or resolve CAVITATION AND FLASHING IN control valve....>

Yes. Make sure the process conditions are such that liquid doesn't boil as it comes through the valve.

<...The graph against (d2/D2) vs %of pressure loss gives the answer of net pressure loss of Square edge and conical, but how to find the net pressure loss of quadrant edge orifice.?...>

In the case of a control valve, concentrate on the parameter being controlled, i.e. the measured process variable as applied to the controller comparator, and not the pressure loss at the valve, which is usually a secondary consideration. If there is no pressure drop at the valve, then the valve isn't doing anything useful!

<...IS booster is required in steel sector and is positioner essential for pneumatic control valves....>

Not necessarily. It depends on how fast the valve needs to respond to changing process conditions (back to the first response comment above....).
