What is triple eccentric butterfly valves?
As the titile and what is the benefit of this ( butterfly )valve?
Triple eccentric means:-
1)First eccentric is the offset between the shaft centre line and the disc trunnion centre line.
2)Second eccentric is the offset between the body centre line and the disc centre line.
3)The
third and the most important is the eccentric in the sealing(multiple)
itself such that if you draw a imaginary contour line between the
sealing shape vs the body centre,It becomes a cone with one side flat on
surface.(I hope my words are clear enough to make you understand).
The
reason for this shape is because it gives better sealing ability for
the valve.eg:- Fire safe valves are triple eccentric valves which are
also called pyrogenic valves.The sealings are multiple in nos. and
together they form a pyrogenic shape therefore this sealing is also
called pyrogenic sealing.
Further to the triple offset (triple eccentric) butterfly valves, this
geometry allows a valve construction with rigid sealing parts, i.e.
metal seat which is inherently fire-safe, and cryogenic, and exhibits
drop-tight (bubble-tight) sealing capability.
In other words, you
can reliably seal a triple offset butterfly valve against high pressures
and high temperatures. The valve can be constructed from materials that
will hold tight continuously against hundreds of psi pressure at
temperatures in the 1000 degrees F range...
