TLV upgrades Cospect valve

01 October 2021

THE THREE-in-one COSPECT pressure reducing valve (PRV) from TLV Euro Engineering has been upgraded and is now offered with integrated pressure gauges as standard.

Michael Povey, general manager at TLV Euro Engineering, explais: “By upgrading and offering the pressure gauges as standard across the range, we have enhanced the COSPECT to make it even more of a unified steam system solution. The integrated gauges also mean no additional pipework modification is required before or after the PRV, which reduces installation time and minimises process downtime.”.

Originally launched more than 35 years ago, the COSPECT is a combined pilot-operated pressure reducing valve, cyclone separator, strainer and steam trap in a single component. TLV Euro Engineering says it overcomes the limitations of conventional PRVs and solves their associated problems – including fluctuations in primary and secondary pressures and valve hunting and vibration – to provide improved quality dry steam at a constant pressure and temperature.

By eliminating the conventional arrangement and combining four separate components into a single valve, the COSPECT delivers engineering benefits by incorporating fewer gaskets, spool pieces and fixings, improving moisture separation and providing accurate and stable pressure control. It is more sensitive to downstream pressure fluctuations, is reliable in operation, and its unified, modular construction facilitates easy, in-line maintenance.

In addition to the engineering benefits, the single component design of the five-model COSPECT makes it faster and easier to install; it is lighter than the sum of using separate components, reduces the amount of insulation required, and reduces the requirement for pipe support brackets.
