Under different medium, the selection parameters of the booster valves will indeed be different. This is mainly because different medium have different physical and chemical properties, which put forward different requirements on the material, structures, performance and other aspects of the booster valves. Here are some of the main differences:
I. Material selection.
Corrosive medium: For corrosive medium such as acid, alkali, salt solution, etc., special attention should be paid to whether the material of the booster valves have good corrosion resistance when selecting. In general, booster valves made of corrosion-resistant materials such as stainless steel, titanium alloy or special alloy are selected for this type of medium.
Flammable and explosive medium: For flammable and explosive medium, such as hydrogen and methane, in addition to considering the corrosion resistance of the material, attention should also be paid to its fire and explosion resistance of the material when selecting. In addition, it is also necessary to ensure that the booster valves have good sealing performance to prevent safety accidents caused by medium leakage.
High temperature and high pressure medium: For medium that work under high temperature and high pressure environment, such as steam, high temperature oil, etc. The material of the booster valves requires high temperature strength and high pressure resistance. For this type of medium, booster valves made of high temperature and high pressure resistance materials such as high temperature alloys and ceramics are usually selected.
II. Structural design.
Fluid characteristics: The fluid characteristic of different medium (such as viscosity, density, flow velocity, etc.) will affect the internal structure design of the booster valves. For example, high-viscosity medium may require specially designed valve cores and valve seats to ensure the normal opening and closing of the valve; while low-viscosity medium may focus more on the valve’s sealing performance and flow regulation capabilities.
Particle content: The medium containing solid particles places higher requirements on the wear resistance and sealing performance of the booster valve. This type of medium requires valve cores and seats made of wear-resistant materials, and may use specially designed filtering devices to prevent particles from entering the valve.
III. Performance requirements.
Pressure range: The working pressure range of different medium may be different. When selecting, you need to choose the appropriate booster valve model based on the actual working pressure range. For example, high-pressure medium may require the selection of a booster valves that can withstand higher working pressure.
Flow requirements: The flow requirements of the medium is also one of the important factors to be considered when selecting the type. It is necessary to select the appropriate booster valve flow specification according to actual needs.
IV. Other parameters.
In addition to the mentioned above differences in materials, structure and performance, the selection of booster valves for different medium may also need to consider other parameters, such as temperature range, medium cleanliness, installation environment, etc. The specific requirements of these parameters will vary depending on the characteristics of the medium and the application scenario.
The selection parameters of the booster valve will be different under different medium, and need to be comprehensively considered based on the physical and chemical properties of the medium, fluid characteristics, working pressure range, flow requirements and other related parameters. In order to ensure the correct selection, it is recommended to consult professional manufacturers or technicians for more specific selection suggestions.
