Power Plant Valve Solutions
Common Operating Conditions
- High Temperature Steam — Superheated steam up to 620°C
- High Pressure — Boiler feed water up to PN400
- Thermal Cycling — Frequent start-stop in peaking plants
- Erosion — High-velocity steam and particulate matter
- Reliability Critical — 24/7 operation with minimal downtime
Recommended Valve Types
- Gate Valves — Main steam isolation, forged steel for high-pressure
- Globe Valves — Boiler feed water control, steam conditioning
- Check Valves — Pump discharge on condensate and feed water lines
- Butterfly Valves — Cooling water intake and discharge (large diameter)
- Ball Valves — Instrument air, auxiliary systems
- Control Valves — Feed water, attemperation, turbine bypass
Material Recommendations
- Alloy Steel (WC6/WC9) — High-temperature steam
- Forged Steel (A105/A182 F22/F91) — High-pressure boiler valves
- Carbon Steel (WCB) — Cooling water, general service
- Stainless Steel — Condensate, chemical dosing
