Butterfly Valve

One of the most frequently used valve types in the industry is the butterfly valve. It is a product that draws attention with its operation in the temperature range (-50 °C) – (+560 °C). It can be used in butterfly valve opening, closing, and flow settings. Flanged, welded, and threaded butterfly valve models are available for seamless integration into different installation types. As a drive unit, sleeve butterfly valves, electric actuators, pneumatic actuators, gearboxes, and hydraulic actuators are produced within Ada Vana.

What is a Butterfly Valve?

A butterfly valve is a type of valve used to control different types of fluids such as liquid, gas, steam, granular or viscous. It is a frequently preferred valve type due to its simple structure and small volume. Despite its small volume, it performs its function without any damage by compressed air and fluids containing solid particles.

The two-way sealing butterfly valve works with low-pressure loss. Butterfly valves, which draw attention with their very fast closing, can open and close even faster than ball valves. Since it can be easily mounted with different equipment, it is suitable to be made much more functional with additional parts.

Butterfly Valve Types

Many types of butterfly valves can be installed anywhere due to their small volume and lightweight. Butterfly valve types protect the system against two-way pressure differences. With their high sealing properties, they allow the system to operate safely at all times. The types of butterfly valves that are frequently used in the opening, closing, and adjusting the flow are as follows:

• Wafer Type Butterfly Valve
• Actuated Butterfly Valve
• Double Flanged Butterfly Valve
• Stainless Butterfly Valve
• Hydraulic Butterfly Valve
• Lug Type Butterfly Valve
• Electric Actuated Butterfly Valve
• HP Performance Butterfly Valve

Wafer Type Butterfly Valve

Wafer type butterfly valve is a valve model connected between two flashes. The wafer butterfly valve protects the system from pressure differences of fluids that apply bidirectional pressure. It is also like with its high impermeability. In installations operating with the one-way flow, if it is desired to prevent the reverse flow from returning, a wafer-type butterfly valve should be used. It is not recommended to install wafer-type butterfly valves on the last lines of their installations.

Actuated Butterfly Valve

The actuated butterfly valve is a type of butterfly valve used for the automatic opening and closing of the system. Thanks to the actuator, the valve has the feature of opening and closing automatically. Since the actuator is mounted on the valve, the butterfly valve with the actuator has a larger volume than other types of butterfly valves.

As Ada Vana, we offer butterfly valves with electric actuators, pneumatic actuators, and hydraulic actuators, depending on the type of actuator. Our butterfly valves, which have high customer satisfaction, ensure the safety of installations in many sectors without any problems.

Double Flash Butterfly Valve

The double-flanged butterfly valve is one of the best choices for controlling fluids both at low temperatures and at high temperatures. This valve, which is highly appreciated for its lightness, is a model with a high user experience. Although butterfly valves operate smoothly under particulate fluids, double-flanged butterfly valves are preferred for use in cleaner and neutral fluids.

Stainless Butterfly Valve

The stainless butterfly valve is one of the most economical solutions for the sectors where chemical fluids are used, as it does not experience any working problems due to corrosion. Since the valve body is stainless, the system is protected from pressure changes and fluid return. Not aging or wear due to environmental factors. This brings the stainless butterfly valve model to the fore in areas where there is concern that the valve will deteriorate due to external factors.

Hydraulic Butterfly Valve

Hydraulic butterfly valve discharges flow with the help of a hydraulic power unit. Since it works automatically, it is been automatically activated in any abnormal situation that occurs on the line. If it is noticed that there is an increase in the flow rate in the installation, the hydraulic butterfly valve does not allow the maximum speed set to be exceeded. It turns itself off to keep the system safe.

Lug Type Butterfly Valve

Another type of butterfly valves, which are separated according to the connection type, is the lug type butterfly valve. Lug type butterfly valve has the appearance of a 3-piece valve. In this valve model, each flange has a cat bolt. Thus, it is not necessary to shut down the installation when the valve is to be repaired.

An important advantage of the lug type butterfly valve over the wafer butterfly valve is that it can be used at the end of the installation. Lug butterfly valves can be installed in any part of the installation. The most important feature that distinguishes this valve model from its counterparts is that it can be opened and closed very easily.

Electric Actuated Butterfly Valve

Electric Actuated Butterfly Valves are ready-to-open valves that are also suitable for manual use against power cuts. While they return to manual operation in case of power cuts, they automatically return to the automatic working system when the electricity comes back.

The Electric Actuated butterfly valve, which also makes it possible to control the gases proportionally, is frequently encountered in systems that are opened and closed. They are most important for the electrical safety of systems.

HP Performance Butterfly Valve

If the features of butterfly valves ensure the safety and healthy operation of your system, but if the operating conditions are at the limit or cannot be met by the valve, HP performance butterfly valves will come to your rescue. HP performance butterfly valves can be easily used at temperature and pressure points where other butterfly valves cannot operate and butterfly valves push the safety limits even if they work.

HP performance butterfly valves, which have all the butterfly valve characteristics, can operate under harsh conditions and ensure the safety of the system, unlike other valves. Today, they are often preferred in the field of chemistry and oil.

Butterfly Valve Working Principle

The working principle of the butterfly valve is related to the quarter-turn of the vertical valve. When the disc, called the butterfly, is turned a quarter turn, it becomes perpendicular to the flow and closes the valve cavity. Thus, there is no fluid flow in the valve. When the valve is in the closed position, the valve handle is turned and the disc is directed in the same direction as the flow. Fluid is allowed to pass. Even when open, despite being in the same direction as the flow, the disc has a pressure-reducing effect on the flow. So the working principle of butterfly valves is very simple. The work depends entirely on the quarter-turn rotations of the disc. The flow may be bidirectional as it is made a quarter turn. Bidirectional fluid flow is possible in an installation controlled by a butterfly valve.

What Does a Butterfly Valves Do?

The butterfly valve allows many different types of fluids to be kept under control. Although fluids such as liquid and gas can be controlled by many valve types, butterfly valves can also keep fragmented or viscous fluids under control. Due to its dimensions, it takes up very little space and can be inserted into almost any pipe type.

Butterfly valves are often involved in the control of hot water and cold water installations. Since it provides impermeability, it helps the installation to operate safely. It is also highly resistant to the passage of pressurized and solids-containing fluids. Therefore, it helps to create a reliable installation environment. Butterfly valves, which are maintained and controlled, can provide control of the same installation for many years.

Butterfly Valve Advantages

The butterfly valve is one of the most preferred valve types to control fluids. It is a product with high user satisfaction due to the advantages it provides. With its technical features and working principle, it makes a difference compared to its counterparts. In general, the advantages of butterfly valves are as follows.

• Small footprint due to its small volume
• 100% tightness
• Easy to use
• Ability to operate at high temperatures
• Since the arm mechanism does not come into contact with the fluid
• calcification does not occur
• Ability to control fluids coming from the opposite direction
• Maintenance can be done without dismantling the valve

Butterfly Valve Weights

The performances of the valves are directly related to their suitability for the installations in which they operate. We have mentioned in which installations butterfly valves work more efficiently, but only the working principle does not play an important role in the working quality. At the same time, it is very important that the valve is physically suitable for the installation and the system. This is one of the reasons why we, as Adavana, produce the valves we produce in accordance with the systems and produce them completely according to the wishes of the user.

The weights and dimensions of butterfly valves are an important factor for the system in which they operate. We'll have to take a look at their weight as well, since we've given information about their size before. Butterfly valves can reach the user's purpose in self-supporting systems. The construction material of the butterfly valve should also be produced in accordance with the situation we mentioned. For example; Brass valve, which is a light butterfly valve model, can be preferred in installations that are not strong enough to carry heavy valves. Forged steel butterfly valves can be used in processes where valve weight is not important.

Why Should You Prefer Butterfly Valve?

Butterfly valves are among the lightest valves in their field, considering the pressure and temperatures they can operate at. Butterfly valves, which take up much less space than other valves, have a very simple structure for the user. Even someone who has not used a valve before can easily understand the working logic of butterfly valves and use the valve.

• They are among the best sealing,
• It has customizable structures,
• They can withstand high pressures,
• They are among the lightest valves
• They can withstand high temperatures and
• They can be used in different fields

Butterfly valves are much more popular than other valves, as they can be easily customized according to the place they will be used, the installation, and the material that will pass through. You can contact Ada valve for a butterfly valve that meets your needs, without any surprise that it is one of the most preferred valves.
