Requirements For Occurrence of Flashing
The fluid at the inlet must be in all-liquid condition, but some vapor must be present at the
valve outlet;
The fluid at the inlet may be in either a saturated or a subcooled condition; and
The valve outlet pressure must be either at or below the vapor pressure of the liquid.
Flashing effects:
Decreased efficiency - valve ability to convert pressure drop across the valve into mass
flowrate is compromised.
