Special solution –
Pressure reducing valve DM 401ZK
- Destination: Germany
- Target sector: Energy industry, power plants
- Valves: 2 pcs. in DN 50/80
- Special feature: Damping in the mid section, hard facing, pipeline extension
The pressure reducing valve DM 401ZK is installed in the supply lines of the soot blowers of a coal-fired power plant. The valve is designed for operation with steam (300 °C) at a throughput of 2,000 kg/h and a pressure regulation of 46 bar down to 15 bar.
Due to the pressure drop of 31 bar, the seat and cone of the valve were hard-faced. In addition, the body at the outlet was extended from DN 50 to DN 80 in order to comply with the recommended flow velocity of 15 to 60 m/s for superheated steam.
A damping system has been installed in the water bag to prevent vibrations in the valve and thus ensure precise pressure control.
