The snubbers are dynamic linear supports designed to limit unwanted sudden movements of components such as: • Pipes • Tanks • Control valves • Steam generators • Safety valves • Pumps, motors, etc. The snubbers enable slow movements due to thermal dilatation in both directions. When a dynamic event which could be harmful to the installation occurs, the snubbers lock and transfer the energy to the fixed structure. Once the disturbance has passed, the device returns to its initial state and enables slow movements once again. In that way, the snubbers provide temporary additional support to the...

Snubbers QUIRI HYDRAULIC SNUBBERS Design of QUIRI Snubbers Raw materials All raw materials are forged or rolled steel. This technology reduces the risk of porosity and failure, compare to molded and welded steel. QUIRI snubbers are designed to withstand the hot, humid and irradiated atmospheres prevalent in nuclear and thermal power plants. Operation mode Type A mode: Lock and drift Valves V1 and V2 allow a limited fluid flow between chambers CH1 and CH2. The drift speed after locking is generally set from 0.1 mm/s to 2 mm/s or as requested. The drift movement is required to relax a pipe subject...

Snubbers QUIRI HYDRAULIC SNUBBERS Valve Lockup valve defining the lockup velocity are tested one by one in our factory. Lockup valves are designed and sized to be independent from the fluid viscosity and temperature. QUIRI uses Self Cleaning Lockup Valve. The self cleaning lockup valve (SCLV) ensures 2 functions: block and drift. The integration of both functions is made by machining a «V» shape slit on the working area of the valve so that: • The SCLV is never totally closed to ensure the decompression • After drift trough the «V» shape slit, the pressure will decrease and allows the opening...
