General requirements for the installation of seawater valves

The installation position of the valve should be arranged centrally on one side of the device area, and the necessary operation platform or maintenance platform should be provided.Valves that require frequent operation, maintenance and replacement should be located on the ground, platform, or ladder that is easily accessible. The height between the center of the valve handwheel and the operating surface is between 750-1500mm, the most suitable height is 1200mm, and the installation height of the valve that does not require frequent operation can reach 1500-1800mm. The valve should be kept at a proper distance from the dosing port to avoid severe pitting corrosion caused by the strong performance of the local agent.

Large valve

The body load of a large valve is large, the piping should be arranged horizontally and supported separately, and the operation and maintenance space of the transmission mechanism should be considered, and brackets should be installed on one or both sides of the transmission mechanism. The bracket should not be installed on the short pipe that needs to be disassembled during maintenance, and it should not affect the support of the pipeline when the valve is removed, and the support should be 50-100mm above the ground. When the actuator is heavy, a separate support needs to be provided for it. The installation method of the butterfly valve is determined according to the pipeline layout. When the pipeline is arranged horizontally, the butterfly valve stem should be arranged as horizontally as possible, and the opening direction of the butterfly valve must be kept consistent with the flow direction of the medium to prevent the slurry and contaminants in the medium from depositing on the valve shaft and the sealing part of the valve body. When the valve is opened, the working torque is small, and it plays a role in dredging the pipeline to a certain extent.

The wafer check valve is arranged at the outlet of the sea water pump, followed by a shut-off valve. In order to avoid collision and interference between the valve plates of the two wafer valves, a straight pipe section must be set between the two valves. The length of the straight pipe section (1.5-2.0 ) DN. If a horizontally arranged rubber-lined butterfly type wafer check valve is used, the valve stem needs to be installed vertically, which can extend the service life of the valve. If a single-to-clamp check valve or a single-disc two-way steel to clamp check valve is used, the valve installation direction should be in favor of the gravity closing direction.
