Principle and characteristics of three-eccentric butterfly valves
Thread Content
With the rapid development of modern industrial technology, butterfly valves are widely used in pipeline control systems, especially in those for large-diameter pipelines where other types of control valves fail to meet the requirements. To address the structural shortcomings of double-eccentric butterfly valves, improve their performance, and meet higher requirements of operating conditions, a triple-eccentric butterfly valve was developed. Its features include the use of an eccentric parabolic sealing surface in place of a spherical sealing surface, as well as a floating metal valve seat instead of a fixed metal valve seat. The new type of triple-eccentric butterfly valve consists of a valve body, valve seat, valve stem, butterfly plate, and sealing ring; its feature is that the right-angled pressure angle of the metal sealing ring is greater than the friction angle of the material. This utility model ensures that the deformation of each point on the periphery of the sealing ring is sufficient after being subjected to force, by requiring that the pressure angle around the sealing ring be greater than the friction angle of the material. As a result, the sealing ring does not experience self-locking due to its deformation, which **significantly improves the sealing performance of the valve. This new model also boasts advantages such as a simple and rational structure, a long service life, and a wide range of applications. Structural principle of the triple-eccentric butterfly valve: Single eccentricity: The rotation center of the valve stem is offset from the center line of the valve seat, ensuring sealing between the valve seat and the valve disc. Second eccentricity: The rotation center of the valve stem is offset from the center line of the valve seat; when the valve is opened, the sealing surface of the butterfly disc quickly separates from the sealing surface of the valve seat. Third eccentricity: The center of the sealing surface on the Vertebral body is offset from the valve’s center line, which eliminates any contact and friction between the butterfly disc’s sealing surface and the valve seat’s sealing surface when the valve is opened or closed. Main features of the triple-eccentric butterfly valve: 1. It can withstand pressure in both flow directions, allowing for installation without any restrictions on flow direction. 2. Full-metal sealing design: the valve seat and sealing rings are fabricated using Stellite alloy surfacing technology, which solves the problem of poor sealing performance in butterfly valves under severe operating conditions such as high temperature and pressure, as well as low temperatures ; It can withstand pressures up to 2500 pounds, temperatures ranging from -196 °C to 850 °C, with zero leakage in terms of sealing, and a control ratio of over 100:1. 3. The valve seat and valve body are designed as separate components, as are the valve disc and seal ring; this allows for interchangeable use of different components in the product. The entire valve does not have to be discarded due to seal wear; simply replacing the valve seat and seal ring allows it to function properly, thereby reducing operating costs. Advantages of three-eccentric butterfly valves: 1. Good sealing performance, which enhances the reliability of the system ; 2. Low frictional resistance, making operation effortless and flexible ; 3. Long service life, allowing for repeated switching on and off ; 4. It has strong pressure resistance and high-temperature tolerance, offering a wide range of applications.Nominal diameter DN (mm): DN50–1000 mm

When the valve is opened, the butterfly disc comes into contact with the valve seat for a brief moment at the time of closure; by utilizing eccentricity 1 and eccentricity 2, the butterfly disc can quickly disengage from the valve seat, thereby reducing wear on the sealing surfaces. This results in low friction torque and smooth operation of the valve. The eccentric conical surface 3 allows the butterfly disc to pass through the inner hole of the valve seat when the valve is opened or closed, thereby achieving a contact seal. Furthermore, the rotational radius of the conical butterfly valve disc is greater than that at the contact point of the sealing pair; as a result, the disc closes more tightly as the valve is closed, enabling self-locking and preventing the disc from moving beyond its intended position.
