Engine Room Valves

In general, it is important to have standard and efficient valves for optimal consumption to prevent fluid wastage and problems in related facilities. In the following, the information, application, working pressure, operating fluid, and the best price for purchasing plumbing valves are provided.

A guide to selecting types of plumbing valves

In general, the valves that are responsible for connecting, disconnecting, and regulating the fluid flow have wide and important applications in various industries, including the utility industry. The mechanical valves used in engine houses are usually gate valves, metal floor, and one-way valves, which are of brass (gear connection) or cast iron (with flange connection) types in different sizes.

The valves used in engine rooms are used in terms of size from 3.8 inches (plug or clock valves) to larger sizes (based on the capacity of the engine room). Other types of valve categories can also be defined according to working pressure, working temperature, or even the desired operating fluid in industry and facilities.

All types of valves in the plumbing system

Industrial valves are divided into types of brass, cast iron, aluminum, polymer, etc.

Also, according to the size and material, industrial valves can be classified into threaded, welded, flanged, and plastic welded types.

Valves can be divided into mechanical types with manual adjustment or automatic adjustment in terms of operation type and electric and mechanical types in terms of operation system.

Engine room valve categorization

Engine room valves a divided into the following types in terms of application:

Flow-blocking valves (Gate-plate-butterfly valves)
Release valves (safety valves)
Fluid flow adjustment valves (needle-plate-angle valves)
One-way valves (ball-gate valves)
Air valves (double-hole - single-hole)
Plug or clock valves
Plug valves are used for low flows, they are made in three ways, and Piswar valves are types of Samavari valves. This type of valve consists of a rod in the middle of which a hole has been created for the passage of water, and it is placed in the middle of a chamber that is machined and polished on its inner surface. These types of valves, like gate valves, create very little resistance to water flow. To open and close the clock valve, it is enough to turn the handle 90 degrees. Usually, plug/clock valves are used as a two-mode (off/on) control device. Because (1) they are relatively inexpensive, (2) they remain in the same position when adjusted, and (3) users can see whether they are open or closed. If the area of the orifice is equal to the cross-sectional area of the pipe, the efficiency of the Plug valve as a flow control device will be reduced.
Globe valves
The name of globe valves is derived from the external shape of its body, which is spherical, and its internal structure is such that the liquid changes direction by 180 degrees from the point of entering the valve to its exit. The construction of the valve and its seat is such that as soon as the flow is established, their contact is cut off. Also, not fully opening the ball valve does not cause it to wear out, and therefore it can be used to regulate and control the flow. The proportionality of the number of turns of the valve handle with the volume of the liquid outlet channel makes it easy to adjust the flow amount by hand.

Specifications of globe valves

The following are the specifications of globe valves

The direction of the fluid flow changes, unlike the slide valve.
Changing the direction of fluid flow creates turbulence.
Turbulence increases pressure drop.
In the globe valve, the pressure drop is higher than the sliding valve.
In the globe valve, as soon as the end plate of the stem and the seat are disconnected, the fluid flows completely.
In the globe valve, the wear is much less than slide valves due to less friction

One of the types of globe valves is the angle ball valve, in which the fluid direction change is less than the normal ball valve and the fluid turbulence in the angle globe valve is less than the normal globe valve. Finally, about ball valves, it should be said that this type of valve is designed for fluid control, and due to the sudden change in the fluid path, opening and closing the valve is done faster. At the same time, it should be mentioned that different materials used in their construction are available and their repairs are less and easier than sliding valves, so their repairs can be done without removing them from the piping route. The valve is often made of nickel or stainless steel.

Angle valve
This type of valve is the same as the ball valve, with the difference that there is a 90-degree angle between its inlet and outlet. This type of valve creates less pressure drop compared to the ball valve, and because of its special shape, the consumption of plumbing connections and the time required for installation are also saved.
Ball valve
These types of taps are also called impact taps. The water flow in this type of valve passes through the hole of a spherical ball which is located in a completely polished spherical position. To open and close this type of valve, just like a plug valve, only a 90-degree rotation of its handle is enough. These valves also create a little resistance against the flow of water. This type of valve can be used in hot and cold water piping as well as low-pressure gas piping.
Gate valves
Gate valves are mostly used in places where they want to completely close or open the fluid flow. One of the properties of these valves is the low-pressure drop along them, for this reason, these valves are used in long pipes. When the drawer or gate is completely directed up and out of the way of fluid flow, and as a result, there is no resistance to flow, but if the drawer is directed to its lowest position, as a result, the fluid changes due to The path, and collision with the drawer causes turbulence and pressure drop. In plumbing, pipes, and valves are often connected (by welding or by screws), but in general, the valve and pipe are connected by flanges and bolts, and to prevent leakage between the pipe and the flange, the valve is sealed. or a gasket is placed.
Backwater valve
These types of valves are only used in sewage piping and they work exactly like free one-way valves. In situations where, due to various reasons, sewage returns to the building's sewage inlets, these valves prevent this action. These types of valves are usually installed in places such as the basement of a building that is a little higher than the sewage disposal site, to prevent the return of sewage.
One-way valves (non-return or check valves)
Check valves are used to prevent the return of liquid or gas sent to the destination.

The reasons for using one-way valves in industry and household appliances are as follows:
- In houses: they put water on the entrance to the building so that in case of a water cut, the amount of water stored in the household appliances and inside the pipes does not return to the main pipe.
- They place it on the inlet pipe of the water heater so that the water stored in the water heater tank does not empty due to a water cut or a broken pipe inside the building because the furnace may continue to work and cause the water heater to burn.
- In the refineries, a one-way valve is placed on the output pipe of the pump, which cannot return after transferring the necessary amount of oil materials and closing the pump or emergency shutdown of the pump, because as a result of returning, in addition to wasting the energy used to send it, the receiving party may also face an immediate shortage of materials. More importantly, the pressure of the return liquid that goes through the same path may be reversed, and as a result, the centrifugal pump rotates at an increasing speed, and the speed becomes so high that the pump is overheated. fall and even explode.
- The way they work is that the liquid or gas pressure raises the valve and causes the liquid or gas to pass until the pressure under the valve is greater than the pressure on it, the valve remains open and the liquid or gas continues to pass. Finds. If for any reason the pressure under the valve becomes lower than the pressure on it, the weight of the valve itself and the pressure of the materials that are going to return will cause the valve to close and prevent the materials from returning.
Needle valve
The needle valve, which takes its name from the shape of the disc and its seat, is part of the ball valve family in terms of structure and operation, and with these valves, you can establish precise control of fluid flow, especially in narrow and delicate pipes. The structure of this valve is such that the flow is directed to a small hole and after turning 90°, it is directed to the tip of a cone, and as can be seen from the figure, the flow goes to the outlet between this hole and a needle-shaped piece. The disk of this type of valve consists of a thin conical rod that passes through the circular hole of the plate and restricts the flow of fluid movement. It should be noted that the construction of these valves is mostly used in carburetors. This type of valve is very delicate and almost small in terms of construction and is used in sensitive and precise operations due to its reliable mechanism. It is widely used in oil or petrochemical laboratories and precision instruments. The diameter of needle valves usually does not exceed 2 inches, and needle valves are mostly used in places where restrictions are necessary, and the meaning of restrictions is a time delay and slow pressure change.
Drain valve
The drain valve is mostly installed in the boiler and is installed in the lowest part of the boiler, and if necessary, by using it, they drain the sediment mass and other impurities that settle.
Cross globe valve
The purpose of using this type of valve is to control the temperature of the fluid exiting the three-way mixing valve, which always connects the two ways. This valve can be installed in a main route and the third side of it can be connected to a branch, and it can be used to regulate the amount of water passing to the branch. The performance of three-way mixing and dividing valves is different from each other. In three-way mixing valves, two flows are mixed and create a common flow. While in the three-way divider valves or the side of the flow passage, to control the temperature, a fluid flow is divided into two parts. In some applications (for example, cooling tower control), bypass or divider valves should be used instead of mixing valves.
Hose valve
These faucets are used for watering gardens and green spaces and are made in diameters of 1.2, 3.4, and 1 inch.
Water gauge valve
These taps are used in glass fountains to connect and disconnect the water and the fountain.
Special purpose valve
In some applications, special valves are used, for example, four ways for water circulation in the boiler ring. A type of four-way valve is also used as a status change valve in the cooling system. By using valve type in heat pump systems, the role of the evaporator is replaced by the condenser. Floating valves are another type of special valves that are used to feed water to a tank with a source or in special cases as a boiler feed valve.
