Are baffle doors and baffle valves the same product?
It seems that the meaning of “door” is greater than that of “valve”. Shutters, valves,,,,,。 In terms of plant and equipment terminology, using “valve” is more professional and aligns with standard book specifications. If relevant standards or books use other terms to refer to valves, such as dialects or local expressions. Such as: throttle valves, flap doors, and the like. For reference.
This needs to be clarified with the owner and the designer. See what operating conditions it is in!
Baffle doors and baffle valves seem to be different; strictly speaking, baffle doors are similar to louver structures, available in single-leaf and multi-leaf versions, and in circular or square shapes, and can be used with circular or square pipes. A flap valve should have a ‘valve seat’ and a ‘valve disc’, similar to a butterfly valve, with a rotatable flap in the middle (which can be considered the valve disc). Baffle doors generally have a large diameter, result in high leakage when closed, and can withstand only low pressure differences ； The diameter of the baffle valve is also relatively large (but smaller than that of a baffle gate); the leakage rate when it is closed is lower compared to that of a baffle gate, and it can withstand higher differential pressures than a baffle gate.
