PLUNGER FLOW CONTROL VALVE

NUOVAL LINE
The plunger flow control valve is mainly designed for regulating flow rate and pressure in water pipelines. This regulation is achieved
by the axial movement of a plunger, operated by a shaft-rod-crank mechanism.
The plunger is positioned in the center of the valve, in a chamber specially shaped to protect it from the water flow and avoid noise
and cavitation damage, while also ensuring vibrations-free operation.
The water flow is channelled through a ring-shaped chamber around the central body of the valve. The cross section of this chamber
diminishes constantly from the inlet to the outlet, causing the flow speed to rise and the pressure to drop.
This ideal geometric shape protects the pipe from cavitation bubbles, which are directed towards the center of the down-stream outlet
flange.

 PLUNGER FLOW CONTROL VALVE

A perfect balance between the upstream and downstream chambers allows the plunger valve to be operated under low torque levels.
The operating mechanism consists of a link, shaft, and connecting rod made of stainless steel. All the moving parts are supported by
marine bronze bushings.
The plunger’s sliding surface is entirely in stainless steel and is guided by sliding blocks which ensure stability in all operating
conditions. The sliding blocks are screwed to the valve body for very easy maintenance.
A stainless steel seating ring is screwed onto the valve body. It is designed to ensure a perfect seal and easy maintenance of the
interior valve components.
The seals are made of polyurethane rubber, with the main seal inserted directly into the top of the piston and the lip seal, with a special
NUOVAL LINE

anti-extrusion profile, inserted into a matching seat formed in the valve body.

The special design directs the fluid towards the axis of the valve where the outflow collides, dissipating energy and protecting the
walls of the down-stream pipe.

PLUNGER FLOW CONTROL VALVE

PRESSURE DROPS
Pressure drops in plunger flow control valves can be evaluated using equation (1.a) or equation (1.b):
ΔP = ξ∗ V2 / (2 g) [mhw] (1.a)
ΔP = (Q / Kv)2 [bar] (1.b)

Where:
· ΔP = pressure drop [unit: see formula above]
· ξ = pressure drop coefficient

NUOVAL LINE
· v = fluid speed referred to valve’s DN [m/s]
· Kv = flow coefficient [m3/h]
· g = 9.81 [m/s2]
· Q = flow rate [m3/h]

The pressure drop coefficient ξ can be calculated using (2.a) and the flow coefficient Kv can be calculated using (2.a):

ξ = ξ* x x100 (2.a)
Kv = Kv% x Kvs (2.b)

Where:
· x100 is the pressure drop coefficient of the fully open valve. It is listed in Table_1 for standard valves (no dissipating cylinder).
For valves equipped with dissipating cylinders, x100 is the distinctive value of the cylinder (e.g.: for a valve equipped with a K20
dissipating cylinder, it will be x100 = 20).
∙ x* expresses the percentage change in the pressure drop as the degree of valve aperture varies (x* = x / x100 ).
x* is shown in Diagram_1.
∙ Kvs is the flow coefficient of the fully open valve and is listed in Table_1.
∙ Kv% expresses the percentage change of Kv as the degree of valve aperture varies.
Kv% = Kv / Kvs. Kv% is shown in Diagram_2.

CAVITATION
Cavitation risk in plunger valves can be evaluated by using equation (3):
σ > σL (3)
Where:
· Cavitation number σ = Pout / (ΔP + v2/2g) (4)
· Cavitation limit σL is given in the diagram below
· ΔP = pressure drop [mhw]
· Pout = valve outlet pressure

· v = fluid velocity referred to valve’s DN [m/s]

DISSIPATING CYLINDERS
The valve can be equipped with a stainless steel dissipating cylinder specially slotted to divide the outlet flow into radial fluid jets that
collide at the valve centre axis. This device offers an energy dissipation curve adjusted to the real operating conditions of the valve and
based on the plant’s effective requirements. Standard slotted cylinders are available for progressively greater resistance to cavitation
and increasing pressure drops. Special slotted cylinders can be fitted with the dimension, shape, and aperture calculated on the basis
of the valve’s effective operating conditions. For example, it is possible to limit headloss at higher valve apertures, and ensure high
cavitation resistance at small apertures.

 ACCESSORIES
PLUNGER FLOW CONTROL VALVE

DISSIPATING PLATE
In the case of high hydraulic heads, when a dissipating cylinder is not enough to ensure adequate dissipation it should be combined
with a perforated dissipating plate mounted downstream of the valve. A suitably designed plate will reduce the hydraulic head and
support the dissipating action of the dissipating cylinder.
Depending on the number, size, and inclination of the holes, a dissipating plate provides different load dissipation values, improving
the overall performance of the valve.
The recommended minimum pipe length upstream of a dissipating plate is LPIPE ≥ 3 X Valve DN. The outside diameter of a dissipating
plate is suitable for connection using a flange according to EN 1092-2. The recommended seal is flat type (on request, a dissipating
plate can be made with O-ring seats).

AIR INTAKE DEVICE

Cavitation can occur due to depression in proximity to a flange or pipe downstream of a valve. This can be avoided by fitting the valve
with an adequate air intake device to intake air and compensate the fluid depression, thus reducing the risk of cavitation, ensuring
extended safe operation of the valve, and protecting the downstream section of the plant.
ATTENTION: The maximum working pressure allowed for an air intake is 2 bar.
When an air intake is fitted, the Silencer AS accessory can be useful to limit noise emissions.
The Silencer AS is fitted directly onto the air intake:
• Low noise emission, Silences AS is able to reduce noise down up to 30 decibels;
• Easy to install;
NUOVAL LINE

• Cost saving, no need for piping to connect the air intake to the exterior.
We recommend providing the maneuver chamber with a ventilation opening to avoid occurrence of under pressure.

WITH VULCANIZED HARD RUBBER LINING
Valves for saline media (seawater or well-desalination) or corrosive media have to resist chemical attack from chloride ions. Standard
epoxy coated valve surfaces will be rapidly abraded due to the fluid aggressivity. The best possible solution to ensure extended valve
life and safe operation of plants, is to entirely protect the internal valve surfaces with a hard rubber lining of 3 mm which ensures no
metal parts come into contact with the aggressive fluids. The linings are applied by heating the elements to around 135°-145° C and
vulcanizing rubber sheets onto the surfaces at a pressure of about 4.5 bar.
Other parts of the valve in contact with the fluids are made in duplex and AISI 316 stainless steel, offering high resistance to corrosion
in the presence of ions dissolved in water.
Typical applications for these valves are: water treatment plants, desalination plants, mines, industrial water handling, mineral

In the case of pump stoppage, a check valve provides rapid closure of the plunger by a spring system before the flow can reverse
into the pump with a risk of damage. The seal is secured by the pressure generated in the inner barrel under backflow pressure,
augmenting the action of the springs. The valve plunger is supported by four external self-lubricating guides, which guarantee a
smooth sliding action. These features ensure the check valve high strength and reliability. Available two standard versions, to satisfy

MAIN APPLICATIONS

FLOW AND PRESSURE CONTROL

The most frequently used valves for pressure reduction or flow control are diaphragm valves, but these have limitations as regards
hydraulic behaviour and size.Plunger valves are also perfectly suited for precise and reliable control of pressure and flow, and they
have the advantage of nominal diameters ranging from DN 80 to DN 1800. Unlike diaphragm valves (only operated hydraulically),
plunger valves require an external actuator, which can be operated manually, electrically, pneumatically, hydraulically, by float devices,
or by gravity (cylinder with counterweight). Pressure or flow can be controlled using external actuators to reduce or increase the inner
cross-section of the valve, commanded by an external unit (PLC) connected to pressure gauges (fitted upstream and downstream of
the plunger valve) or a flow meter (mounted upstream of the plunger valve).

NUOVAL LINE
FLOW CONTROL CONFIGURATION PRESSURE CONTROL CONFIGURATION

LEVEL CONTROL
Plunger valves can control reservoir filling to maintain a constant water level regardless water demand.
It is important to carefully select the valve diameter according to the system’s hydraulic parameters: if the valve is oversized, there
could be fluctuations in tank level or the time needed to reach the desired level may be too long.
