what’s triple eccentric butterfly valve?

Triple eccentric butterfly valve,also known as triple offset butterfly valve,is one kind of high performance butterfly valves,designed for working conditions of high pressure,high temperature,and high frequencies of open and close.

Concentric rubber lined butterfly valve,with mature design and manufacturing technology,are reliable in quality and friendly in cost.But for severe applications such as high temperatures or at high opening and closing frequencies,it’s not allowed to use the soft seat butterfly valves.So the hard seal butterfly valves,metal seat or ceramic seat,designed for high temperature,high pressure or high frequencies of open-shut,came into use,but the sealing performance of the traditional hard seal butterfly valve was always a big concern.

Triple eccentric butterfly valve (also known as triple offset butterfly valve) has been invented in this case.

There are many characteristics for the triple eccentric butterfly valves.There is integral-to-body valve seat,with optimized seating angles,coated with anti-worn materials suitable for millions of opening and closing,stainless steel for corrosion resistance,and materials for high temperature.and the multi-layer soft sealing ring or hard sealing ring are fixed on the butterfly disc. This type of design allows makes the triple eccentric butterfly valve more resistant to thermal shocks or pressure peaks and corrosions,compared with traditional butterfly valves.

the zero leakage of our triple eccentric butterfly valve is implemented by the composite stainless steel sealing ring mounted on the disc. The design of right-angled rotation with zero friction is implemented by the distinctive triple eccentric principle. It eliminates the friction between the seat and the sealing ring in 90º rotation,Smaller torque means we can start the valve with a smaller actuator,to save a lot of cost and space.

When the valve is closed, the torque of the transmission mechanism can increase to provide compensation. This greatly improves the sealing performance of the triple eccentric butterfly valve and prolongs the service life of it.

The Triple offsets design

• The first offset is that the valve shaft is behind the disc shaft so that the seal can completely close the entire valve seat.
• The second offset is that the centerline of the valve shaft is offset from the pipe and valve centerline to avoid interference from valve opening and closing.
• The third offset is that the seat cone axis deviates from the centerline of the valve shaft, which eliminates friction during closing and opening and achieves a uniform compression seal around the entire seat.

The above is the introduction of the triple eccentric butterfly valve. It is a kind of high-performance butterfly valve currently used in many fields.
