SEMPELL DEWRANCE CHECK VALVES BLED STEAM

Product catalog summary
Introduction
The Sempell Dewrance check valves are engineered for non-return applications in steam turbine systems, specifically targeting bled steam and cold reheat lines to prevent reverse flow and protect turbines.
Features
  • Reliability: Equipped with an internal counterweight for disc balance, direct deposited seats, and a tilting disc design for rapid closure. They are lightweight, self-draining, and include pneumatic power assistance for improved operation.
  • Maintenance: Features a graphite gasket pressure seal, surface-treated hinge pins, and easy maintenance access. Seat refurbishment is simplified to lapping, extending seat life due to non-scuffing action.
  • Performance: The aerodynamic tilting disc design ensures low pressure drop and automatic closure upon flow reversal. The inclined seat geometry provides a tight seal without scuffing.
Technical Data
Available in sizes NPS 6 to 32 (DN 150 to 800) and pressure classes 150, 400, and 600, with additional sizes upon request.
General Application
Used in power generation steam turbines for bled steam check valves, extraction steam check valves, and cold reheat non-return valves.
Design Features
Utilizes cone-in-cone seating geometry for a non-scuffing design and high pressure intensity sealing. The pivot point and unique seating geometry prevent pick-up, ensuring reliable operation.
Flow and Functional Tests
Extensive flow tests confirm stability and low pressure drop under various conditions. Functional tests ensure leak-tight seals and quick closure times.
Pressure/Temperature Ratings
Detailed ratings for different materials and classes ensure suitability for various operational conditions.
Main Component Materials
Constructed from carbon steel (A216 Gr. WCB) and alloy steel (A217 Gr. WC9), with components like the gasket and hinge pin made from reinforced graphite and ASTM A565 XM32, respectively.
Hydrostatic Shell and Seat Leak Test Pressures
Test pressures are specified for different materials and pressure classes, including ASTM A-216 WCB and ASTM A-217 WC9, in psi and bar.
Dimensions and Product Numbers
Dimensions are provided in metric and imperial units for sizes DN 150 to DN 350. Product numbers are listed for carbon steel (WCB) and alloy steel (WC6, WC9).
Design Features
Features a robust cast steel body, butt weld ends, and a pressure seal bonnet for large reheat steam valves, ensuring maximum reliability with a free-rotating disc and hinge pin.
Options
Power-assisted closing is available with pneumatic cylinders for rapid closure. Schematic and wiring diagrams are provided for typical setups.
Product Numbering System
A detailed guide explains the product numbering system, including valve type, pressure class, end connection, body material, valve operation, and design.

SEMPELL DEWRANCE CHECK VALVES BLED STEAM-3

SEMPELL DEWRANCE CHECK VALVES BLED STEAM INTRODUCTION This range of valves has been specifically designed for installation in bled (extraction) steam lines between steam turbines and feed water heaters but are equally applicable to reheater connections and bleed on pass-out lines in process plants. Their function is to prevent the reverse flow of stored steam and any water from the heater or its bled steam pipe to the turbine. Installation would be in a horizontal pipe as near to the turbine as possible. These valves are free acting whereby the disc moves to the closed position when flow in the...

SEMPELL DEWRANCE CHECK VALVES BLED STEAM FLOW TESTS Extensive flow tests have been carried out to establish flow characteristics for these valves. The tests consisted of: 1. A scale model (230 mm) tested with air to establish the aerodynamic torque on the disc and the flow coefficient at various angles of opening. The lowest pressure drop occurs when the disc is in the fully open position. 2. A full size 400 mm valve tested in steam flows up to 300 ft/sec (92 meters/sec) to confirm the disc opening angle and establish the body and disc design shape. These tests confirmed that the Sempell Dewrance...

SEMPELL DEWRANCE CHECK VALVES BLED STEAM-10

SEMPELL DEWRANCE CHECK VALVES DESIGN SIMPLE DESIGN FOR MAXIMUM RELIABILITY IN OPERATION The disc is free to rotate on the hinge pin and the hinge pin is free to rotate on its bearings, thus ensuring freedom of movement and maximum reliability without the use of glands. Nitride treated hinge pin and bearings give hard wearing surfaces with a low coefficient of friction. Deposits on sealing surfaces are of different hardness and analysis to prevent ‘scuffing’. In the full open position the valves offer a maximum flow area as will be seen from the illustrations. Standard designs close in less than...
