Adjustable Port Valves

Adjustable Port Valves

Product catalog summary
Overview: The document provides detailed information on North American Adjustable Port Valves, suitable for various applications including hot or cold air, gas, oil, water, and steam. These valves are designed for low torque, rotary plug operation, and easy cleaning, with adjustable pressure drop for optimal flow characteristics.
Valve Specifications: The bulletin lists different sizes and types of adjustable port valves, including 3" and 6" gas and air valves with electric operators, and 10" air valves with pneumatic operators. Each valve is equipped with specific operators like Beck Electric, Honeywell Electric, and Barber-Colman Electric.
Correct Valve Sizing: The document emphasizes the importance of correct valve sizing for optimal performance. It describes the process of adjusting the valve curtain and core to achieve the desired flow characteristics. The recommended procedure involves adjusting the valve to ensure the pressure drop across it is 1/5 to 1/6 of the total system pressure drop.
Flow Characteristics: The document explains the flow characteristics of valves, highlighting the importance of linear or equal percentage characteristics for modulating control. It includes a discussion on undesirable flow patterns and how adjustable port valves can solve these issues by allowing proper sizing after installation.
Multiple Valve Combinations: The bulletin describes the use of multiple adjustable port valves in combination to control air, fuels, and atomizing mediums. It suggests configurations such as stacking valves on a common shaft or mounting them side-by-side for greater flexibility.
Safety and Compliance: A warning section highlights potential dangers associated with combustion equipment operation and maintenance. It stresses the importance of adhering to National Safety Standards and Insurance Underwriters recommendations to ensure safe operation.
Contact Information: The document provides contact details for Fives North American Combustion, Inc., including their address, phone number, fax, and email for further inquiries.
