Floating Valve Tray / v1 Valve (KPT TRAY-3)
Floating Valve Tray / v1 Valve (KPT TRAY-3)
Float valves / v1 valves are productive to work when stream rates are evolving. The legs are given to keep up the launch of the valve to avoid weeping and to improve mass exchange even at low stream conditions.
Floating Valve Trays / v1 valves are available up to 6m diameter. | |
MOC | Stainless steels, 904L, 254SMO, Duplex, SS410S, Titanium, Hastelloy or any metal/alloy as indicated by client demand. |
Applications:
- Main refineries fractionators
- Light end columns of petrochemical plants
- Absorbers and regenerators of gas plants
FAQ'S
It is a kind of tower tray that has many holes on the surface and there is a valve on each hole. They are very efficient to operate when flow rates are changing.
The float valve is a simple mechanical liquid level controller. It detects changes of elevation in the liquid-free surface and opens or closes a valve accordingly.
Selecting the materials of the float valve is important. It could be made of steel, copper, or brass. Common materials are cast iron, carbon steel, or stainless steel.
They are used in applications where higher turndown ratios are required. Due to their ability to control vapor flow, they provide a higher efficiency.
