Control and Reliability

The 900D continues CCI’s tradition of customizing valve performance

to meet the exacting requirements of your application. In addition to
linear and equal percentage characterization, the 900D can be custom
characterized for applications that require critical control.

Figure 1 is an example of a pump application that has a pressure drop

that varies with flow. This example shows how pressure drops are
highest at start up, and then decrease as the required flow rate increases.
Figure 2 depicts how CCI improves control and reliability by applying
the appropriate number of pressure reducing stages through the entire
Figure 1: Typical pump application curve
range of flow conditions. The result, as shown in Figure 3, is extremely
consistent trim exit velocity throughout the entire stroke range of the
valve. Uncontrolled trim exit velocities, common in single stage designs,
can lead to excessive trim damage as shown in Figure 4. The 900D
provides superior control and reliability, thereby significantly extending
the operating life of the valve.

The lessons learned from this example apply to applications that handle
gas or liquids. See page 2 for industries and applications.

The 900D’s DRAG® Technology Delivers:

n Control that improves plant efficiencies

n Reliable performance
– Due to reduced damage and decreased maintenance frequency

application requirements
The ability to be custom characterized enables the DRAG® disk stack to
have variable staging throughout the entire stroke.

damage that is a result of vibration. Figure 5 shows the dramatic results
of applying DRAG® technology and kinetic energy control. Customers
typically experience a 90% decrease in peak vibration with the application
of DRAG®, and that enables them to:

n Eliminate valve and piping damage

n Minimize system trips
n Minimize downtime and maintenance costs
n Eliminate additional piping supports

900D Solves Noise:

CCI’s philosophy to noise control is to avoid the creation of noise as

opposed to trying to muffle it once it’s produced. With the 900D the
amount of noise that must be absorbed by the pipe wall or insulation is
dramatically reduced, and the noise sensed in the vicinity of the valve is at
acceptable levels.

Impact of Cavitation:

The trim damage that is the result of cavitation can adversely affect the
performance of the plant. Many applications require that the control
valve have fine control or tight seat leakage performance. When a trim
is damaged by cavitation these attributes can be negatively impacted
resulting in:

n Noise and vibration

n Trim damage
n Poor control
