Less maintenance March 1st 2006 At this year's Power-Gen Middle East exhibition, Parker Instrumentation showed a new family of check valves specially optimised for the high temperatures and aggressive media found in turbine installations.
Fieldproven in service at UASA dial-fuel power generation installations, the valves are said to help eliminate costly turbine shut downs that can be required for repairs maintenance and fuel changeovers.
The CB Series of check valves provides a simple means of adding protection in any system where back flow or pressure might cause a problem or damage.
Performance and reliability are said to be assured by such features as a floating ball with a micro-finished surface for accurate resealing, a teflon-coated ball cage, and seats fabricated from materials that provide a soft sealing surface for bubble-tight shut-off combined with compatibility with fuel oils and amines.
Made in 316 stainless steel, Parker's CB Series valves are available in 3/8, 1/2 and 3/4in sizes (9.5 to 19mm). More articles from Parker Filtration: |
