DSI Gate Valves – Pressure Seal
DSI Pressure Seal Valves are intended for high pressure, high temperature applications in all types of fluid except where severe coking is a factor. The design and material selections provide excellent service in steam-generation stations, industrial chemical plants and thermal power plants.
Most pressure seal valves are offered in Cast Steel and Forged Steel body designs. These options make the DSI Pressure Seal product line an excellent choice for users with various application requirements. These pressure seal valves provide the most efficient flow passage and sealing features available on perfect gates like these Timber gates, resulting in significant weight savings, easy installation and in-line maintenance.
Standard Construction Features:
Body: Flow areas are specifically designed for minimum turbulence and pressure drop.
Bonnet Ample stuffing box area, Stellite® stem guide surface and back seat shoulder for accurate guiding of the stem and back seat.
Ball Bearing-type Yoke Sleeve Large, high-pressure valves can require a tremendous amount of torque to open and close. By utilizing ball bearings in the yoke sleeve the operating torques of these difficult-to-operate valves are reduced by as much as 50 percent.
Flexible Wedge Sealing Design: The flexible wedge is a one-piece, fully guided cast wedge with a central hub to allow the seating faces to move relative to each other, thus compensating for distortion of the body seats due to thermal expansion or piping loads. Seat ring and wedge seating face are set at a 9˚ angle from vertical to minimize sliding con- tact of the wedge and seat ring during opening and closing. Wedging actions help effect a tight seal in low differential pres- sure services. Flexible wedge construction resists wedge sticking or binding in services where the valve may be closed when cold and opened when hot. Seating surfaces are hard-faced with Stellite®6 to provide high cycle capability in very high differential pressure services.
Parallel Slide Design: The gate is a split design using two discs spring loaded and held together by a gate holder with an Inconel 750 spring to provide initial energizing when closed. The gate relies for seat tightness on the primary fluid pressure acting on the down- stream half. There is no wedging action or extra loading on the seats resulting in considerably lower operating torque. When the valve is in the open position the gate is completely clear of the seats. During closing there is a bevel on the bot- tom of the gate to guide it in between the seats and recompress the spring. Seating surfaces are hard-faced with Stellite®6 to provide high cycle capability in very high differential pressure services.
Special Features of All DSI Pressure Seal Gate Valves
Packing Adjustment: All gate and globe valves are provided with a two-piece packing gland to minimize the possibility of scoring the stem if the gland is tightened unevenly. Eyebolts remain fastened to the bonnet. The eyebolts swing out of the way to simplify packing replacement, and are oriented so they can be adjusted from one side of the valve.
Deep Stuffing Boxes: Deep stuffing boxes are standard on gate and globe valves. The design provides extra packing for a more reliable stem seal, or sufficient depth for packing with an optional lantern ring in the middle. When equipped with a lantern ring, a tapped and plugged hole is provided; when specified, it can be fitted with an injection fitting.
Pressure Seal Design: The segmental thrust ring absorbs all the thrust applied by internal pressure. A hardened Stainless Steel protective ring prevents deformation of the top surface of the soft steel, 304 Stainless or 316 Stainless with a high density graphite gasket. The gasket can be removed freely without damaging the seal- ing surface of the body.
