Wafer type butterfly valves are key components in a variety of industrial and municipal applications. The following article will explain the characteristics, benefits and application cases of wafer butterfly valves and explain why they are the valve of choice in most industries.
What is a wafer type butterfly valve?
The wafer butterfly valve belongs to the family of rotary valves, whose main operating part is the disc, which is used to regulate the flow of fluids in the pipeline. The valve can be operated quickly, just opening and closing the valve, so that tasks can be performed more quickly. The valve body is small and lightweight, and can be fixed to the pipeline flange as a stand-alone unit – only flanges are needed, no bolts are required. In addition, this article proposes wafer butterfly valves as a customized solution for flow control in different systems.
Main features of wafer butterfly valves
Compact design: The wafer structure makes the preparation and application of the valve seat simple and efficient. It saves space and reduces installation time and labor.
Durability: The design and operation of these valves are based on a material with high tensile strength and resistance to impact loads. In fact, no matter which surface the pressurized or heated medium contacts, the valve is guaranteed not to leak.
Corrosion resistance: Yinuo produces wafer butterfly valves with red RAL 300 powder coating. An important function of the powder coating is to act as a corrosion barrier to protect the valve. At the same time, the color pigment makes the valve more attractive.
Full-bore design: This feature of the full-bore design means that the entire system can be significantly more efficient because energy losses are very small, creating a low-cost product that is suitable for many different applications. Such a high return on investment makes it very competitive in the market.
Easy maintenance: Wafer butterfly valves have extremely low maintenance costs. The simple and practical design of wafer butterfly valves makes it easy for operators to quickly repair them when needed.
Advantages of using wafer butterfly valves
If you use wafer butterfly valves in your piping system, you will get the following advantages:
1. Practicality
Wafer butterfly valves are the most versatile segmented ball valves currently available. Their design makes them suitable for a variety of uses, such as water supply, wastewater treatment, HVAC systems, and chemical treatment.
2. Affordability
The wafer butterfly valve has a new design that allows you to purchase it at a lower price and is also easier to install. Additionally, there are fewer future incidents that could result in material loss, so the wafer butterfly valve has a long service life, making it a sustainable solution.
3. Environmentally friendly flow control
The wafer butterfly valve uses a fast opening and closing design to accurately manage fluid flow, so it is also ideal for applications that require instant response time.
Applications of Wafer Butterfly Valves
Wafer Butterfly Valves are used in a wide range of applications, such as:
Water treatment: Wafer butterfly valves are often used in water treatment plants to control flow and prevent backflow, thereby ensuring a clean and safe water supply.
Fire protection systems: Wafer butterfly valves are used to regulate water flow in pneumatic fire extinguishing systems, providing the reliable performance required under critical conditions.
HVAC systems: In heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems, these valves are used to regulate the flow of air and water, thereby achieving energy saving and ergonomic state measurement.
Chemical processing: The structure and wear-resistant shell of wafer butterfly valves are an ideal solution for handling corrosive materials in the chemical industry.
