Flush Bottom Valve - Definition, Types, Components, Working, Application & Advantages
Advantages
For zero gland infiltration which ensure to zero gland restriction flushing, zero gland retention and low energy quick response flushing, quarter
– turn operation flush bottom valves is used.
Full port size segmented cavity and ball filled type valve remove all internal pudding and pocket of biological fluid in the valve internal which
remove bacteria formation as well as growth and contamination.
Normally, standard flush bottom valve inlet size is provided one size larger than the outlet size of the valve. Outlet port is provided with an
angle with respect to the inlet port, generally 45 or 65 degrees of deviation are provided to the outlet port. End connections of the valve are
flanged.
For hydro generators ideal design is welded design because they can fit to all tanks like conical, flat, ellipsoidal, jacketed and insulated and
torispherical etc.
Flush bottom valves have design which is compact ball type which directly open in a tank for flushing 100 percent to inner surface of
reactor, tank.
By ISO 5211 the valve actuator mounting pad interface was designed.
In this case disk gets pulled down into the valve which directly affect the discharge of the material.
1. In this case stem pushes the disk into the tank for draining the liquid. When internals restrict the disk movement then this type of flush
bottom valves cannot be used.
Generally there are only two types of design of disk available: Ram type and Plug type.
