The project will upgrade legacy IMI valves with new anti-surge valves to increase both system reliability and efficiency, while also driving improved environmental performance.
The replacement valves benefit from additive manufactured components complete with IMI’s patented DRAG™ technology. Its multi-stage, multi-path design directs fluid through a highly resistant tortuous path to incrementally reduce the inlet pressure. This limits the fluid velocity at the trim, eliminating the risk of vibration, noise, and erosion.
The IMI anti-surge valves also feature IMI’s SC/V actuators, which use a special piston design for smooth and precise operation, as well as IMI’s latest development, the high-capacity, high-precision digital pneumatic SHP (Smart High Performance) positioner.
