WHAT IS A CONTROL VALVE ?
CONTROL VALVE
This is a device used to modulate flow of process fluid in line by
creating a variable pressure drop in the line .
Normally the pressure drop is made with respect to the control signal
received towards flow condition correction required.
www.automationforum.com
WHAT IS VALVE FLOW COEFFICIENT ?
VALVE Cv - No. Of US gallon [ USG = 3.7 Ltrs] of water per minute
passing through the valve in full open condition with 1 PSI pressure
Drop across the valve at 15 deg C temp.
So essentially valve Cv is capacity of valve in terms of water which
helps us to identify suitable size required for any fluid in any pressure /
temp. condition.
VALVE Kv - Quantity of water in M3/Hr. at temperature between 5 to
40C that will flow through the valve at a specified travel with a pressure
drop of 1 Bar.
Kv = 0.856Cv

CONTROL VALVE LEAKAGE
ControlValve Leakage -
This is basically the fluid which passes through the valve when the valve is fully closed.
This value however should not be considered as the valve Cv at NIL Opening.
So this leakage shall depend on the contact of valve plug & seat with the seating force
applied for holding the plug over the seat.

FLASHING
Flashing :
The formation of vapor bubbles in liquid flow streams at vena contracta.
As liquid passes through a restriction (vena contracta) in a control valve the liquid velocity
increases and liquid pressure decreases. And if the pressure at this point falls to or below
the vapor pressure of the liquid, vapor bubbles form in the flow stream. Flashing results if
this pressure remains below vapor pressure of liquid.
When a liquid flashes into vapor, there is a large increase in volume. Due to increase in
volume velocity will increase and hence high velocity will erode the surface.
Flashing damages can be identified by smooth polished appearance of eroded surface.
Flashing damages is usually at or near seat line of the valve plug and seat ring.
Vapor pressure :- The pressure at which liquid begins to vaporize.

CAVITATION
Cavitation : The formation and subsequent collapse of vapor bubbles in liquid flow
streams.
As liquid passes through a restriction in a control valve the liquid velocity increases, while
the liquid pressure decreases. The pressure reaches a minimum at a point called the vena
contracta, and if the pressure at this point falls to or below the vapor pressure of the liquid,
vapor bubbles form in the flow stream.
Downstream of the vena contracta, flow area increases, velocity de-creases, and pressure
increases.
If this recovered pressure is sufficient to raise the pressure above the liquid vapor pressure,
the vapor bubbles will collapse. The collapsing bubbles generate significant noise and
vibration, and can mechanically attack pipe walls and valve components.
Cavitation damages can be identified by rough and pitted surface. Cavitation damage may
extend to the downstream pipeline if that is where the pressure recovery occurs.
Phenomenon of Cavitation is experienced in CV and PUMPS

CHOKED FLOW
Choked flow :-
Formation of vapour bubbles in the liquid flow stream cause a crowding
condition at the vena contracta which tends to limit flow through the valve.
If valve pressure drop is increased slightly beyond the point where
bubbles begins to form, a choked flow condition is reached. With constant
upstream pressure, further increase in pressure drop will not produced
increased flow through the valve.
www.automationforum.com
NOISE FUNDAMENTALS
Noise :- A random mixture of sound pressure waves of various amplitudes and frequency. Which
people do not like to hear.
Sound Wave :- A pressure wave with a fixed frequency and amplitude traveling through a medium.
Unit of Noise :- dBA ( Decibels )= 20 Log( Existing sound pressure level / 0.0002 microbars )
Source of valve noise:
• Mechanical Noise :- It produces high mechanical stress - fatigue failure of vibrating part.
Mechanical noise can be solved by improved design to suppress vibration
by good guiding and rugged construction.
• Vibration of valve components :- This is due to lateral movement of valve plug relative
to guide surfaces. The sound level produce normally will have frequency less then
1500Hz and is describe as metallic rattling.
• Fluid impingement upon the movable of flexible part ( Metallic chattering )
• Components resonates at its own natural frequency ( single tone 3KHz to 7KHz)
• Hydrodynamic Noise :- It is due to cavitation. It is because of implosion of vapor bubbles and
is relatively low.
www.automationforum.com
NOISE FUNDAMENTALS
Aerodynamic Noise :-
Highest energy component at same frequency where human ear is most sensitive. Large
amount of energy converted to aerodynamic noise.
• High intensity noise resulting due to turbulent flow of gas, are due to high relative
velocity.
This can be classified as non-periodic or random noise with occurring frequency between
1 KHz to 8 KHz.
• Valve pressure drop ( Main source ),
• Obstruction in flow path,
• Valve style , having more flow directional changes,
• Degree of turbulence varies with valve style1,
• Valve size.

SPL = OVERALL NOISE LEVEL IN DECIBLE ( 1 METER DOWNSTREAM OF VALVE OUTLET
AND 1METER FROM THE PIPE SURFACE )
SPLDP = FUNCTION OF PRESSURE DROP ACROSS THE VALVE ( MAJOR COMPONENT )
DSPLCG = GAS SIZING COEFFICIENT ( MAJOR COMPONENT )
DSPLDP/P1 = RATIO OF PRESSURE DIFFERENTIAL TO INLET PRESSURE
DSPLK = CORRECTION IN DBA FOR PIPE SIZE AND SCHEDULE
DSPLP2 = DOWNSTREAM PRESSURE

TECHNOLOGY
With the advent of new technology ControlValve has
undergone rapid change in terms of change in Internals, Capacity
Increase, Guiding, Leakage Class Improvement,Treatment of
Noise And Cavitation And Finally DIGITAL.
About 30 years back control valves were only available with top
guided or top & bottom guided design with asbestos packing
and practically no solution available for Hi Pressure drop
application leading to Noise for Gas service Or Cavitation for
Liquid Service.
www.automationforum.com
TECHNOLOGY
Now a days we are also having control valve with digital technology, where valve
positioner is digital in nature and able to provide PID function at the valve itself.
Digital positioner can provide the following apart from acting as interface
between controller and valve actuator -
1. Provide HART feedback.
2. Can couple with Foundation Fieldbus.
3. Can provide valve diagnostics.
4. Helps in Asset Management.
5. Provide lock, soft alarms and data logging facilities.
6. Can achieve split action, remote calibration etc.

VALVE Cv - No. Of US gallon [ USG = 3.7 Ltrs] of water per minute passing through the valve in full open condition with 1 PSI pressure Drop across the valve at 15 deg C temp. So essentially valve Cv is capacity of valve in terms of water which helps us to identify suitable size required for any fluid in any pressure / temp. condition. VALVE Kv - Quantity of water in M3/Hr. at temperature between 5 to 40C that will flow through the valve at a specified travel with a pressure drop of 1 Bar. Kv = 0.856Cv

  • 27. www.automationforum.com FLASHING Flashing : The formation of vapor bubbles in liquid flow streams at vena contracta. As liquid passes through a restriction (vena contracta) in a control valve the liquid velocity increases and liquid pressure decreases. And if the pressure at this point falls to or below the vapor pressure of the liquid, vapor bubbles form in the flow stream. Flashing results if this pressure remains below vapor pressure of liquid. When a liquid flashes into vapor, there is a large increase in volume. Due to increase in volume velocity will increase and hence high velocity will erode the surface. Flashing damages can be identified by smooth polished appearance of eroded surface. Flashing damages is usually at or near seat line of the valve plug and seat ring. Vapor pressure :- The pressure at which liquid begins to vaporize.
  • 30. www.automationforum.com CAVITATION Cavitation : The formation and subsequent collapse of vapor bubbles in liquid flow streams. As liquid passes through a restriction in a control valve the liquid velocity increases, while the liquid pressure decreases. The pressure reaches a minimum at a point called the vena contracta, and if the pressure at this point falls to or below the vapor pressure of the liquid, vapor bubbles form in the flow stream. Downstream of the vena contracta, flow area increases, velocity de-creases, and pressure increases. If this recovered pressure is sufficient to raise the pressure above the liquid vapor pressure, the vapor bubbles will collapse. The collapsing bubbles generate significant noise and vibration, and can mechanically attack pipe walls and valve components. Cavitation damages can be identified by rough and pitted surface. Cavitation damage may extend to the downstream pipeline if that is where the pressure recovery occurs. Phenomenon of Cavitation is experienced in CV and PUMPS

  • 41. www.automationforum.com CHOKED FLOW Choked flow :- Formation of vapour bubbles in the liquid flow stream cause a crowding condition at the vena contracta which tends to limit flow through the valve. If valve pressure drop is increased slightly beyond the point where bubbles begins to form, a choked flow condition is reached. With constant upstream pressure, further increase in pressure drop will not produced increased flow through the valve.
  • 42. www.automationforum.com NOISE FUNDAMENTALS Noise :- A random mixture of sound pressure waves of various amplitudes and frequency. Which people do not like to hear. Sound Wave :- A pressure wave with a fixed frequency and amplitude traveling through a medium. Unit of Noise :- dBA ( Decibels )= 20 Log( Existing sound pressure level / 0.0002 microbars ) Source of valve noise: • Mechanical Noise :- It produces high mechanical stress - fatigue failure of vibrating part. Mechanical noise can be solved by improved design to suppress vibration by good guiding and rugged construction. • Vibration of valve components :- This is due to lateral movement of valve plug relative to guide surfaces. The sound level produce normally will have frequency less then 1500Hz and is describe as metallic rattling. • Fluid impingement upon the movable of flexible part ( Metallic chattering ) • Components resonates at its own natural frequency ( single tone 3KHz to 7KHz) • Hydrodynamic Noise :- It is due to cavitation. It is because of implosion of vapor bubbles and is relatively low.
  • 43. www.automationforum.com NOISE FUNDAMENTALS Aerodynamic Noise :- Highest energy component at same frequency where human ear is most sensitive. Large amount of energy converted to aerodynamic noise. • High intensity noise resulting due to turbulent flow of gas, are due to high relative velocity. This can be classified as non-periodic or random noise with occurring frequency between 1 KHz to 8 KHz. • Valve pressure drop ( Main source ), • Obstruction in flow path, • Valve style , having more flow directional changes, • Degree of turbulence varies with valve style1, • Valve size.
