Flowserve engineered the Valtek Compressor Anti-Surge Valve to overcome the common challenges seen in compressor applications, where compressor surge can cause equipment failure and downtime. The Valtek compressor anti-surge solution protects the compressor from catastrophic surge damage by providing exceptional response for driving the valve open when needed and in a steady-state position when in recycle.
The Logix 3800JF positioner balances the needs for speed and precision, delivering exceptionally fast stroke speed coupled with precision control. By applying a two-stage control loop for both valve position and pneumatic JetFlow relay position, this intelligent positioner overcomes the conflict between precision and speed with reduced overshoot. Plant technicians can tune and repair the valve without relying on factory experts. The Logix 3800JF valve positioner allows easy upgrades through simplified retrofit with existing installations.
Advanced noise control trim, such as MegaStream and Stealth, enables high flow rates while keeping emitted noise and resulting vibration levels low. Limiting noise reduces vibration, which can otherwise cause system wear or damage, resulting in additional maintenance labor and costs.
