Power station valves are valves designed for power plants, which can control the flow of water and high-temperature and high-pressure steam in the power plant pipelines.
It is installed on various pipelines in power plants and mainly performs two major tasks:
One Open/close pipeline
Like a faucet, fully open to allow water/steam to flow smoothly, or completely close to cut off their flow.
II Adjust flow/pressure
Like a precise valve ‘tuner’, it finely adjusts the amount and pressure of water or steam flowing through pipelines according to power generation needs. ‌
Due to the complexity of power plant systems, the required switch functions vary: gate valves are used for thorough “opening” or “closing” on large-diameter pipelines, with low water flow resistance but slow switching, making them unsuitable for frequent operation; Globe valves are capable of both opening and closing, as well as precise flow regulation. With a compact structure and good sealing, they are the main force in small-diameter pipelines!
