    Piston valves use a hollow cylindrical piston that slides between two sealing rings to control fluid flow. The piston has openings that align with the outlet hole as the piston moves up and down, controlling the flow area. Double disc piston valves equalize pressure across the discs to reduce the actuator force needed and allow for smoother operation. They can also be designed for linear flow characteristics where flow increases proportionally with valve opening for precise control applications like chemical additions.

    PISTON VALVES
    SUB-OBJECTIVE
    At the end of this lesson, the trainee ill !e a!le to de"onstrate an

    '&( PISTON VALVES
    Interior partitioning of the valve is the same as in the preceding types. The
    cut-off member is a hollow cylindrical piston sliding between two sealing
    rings screwed into the body. The piston is provided with openings which go
    up and down in front of the outlet hole, thus permitting variation of flaw
    section Fig. 8-1 show valve components.
    The piston is of chrome steel and perfectly machined; the sealing rings are
    often of self lubricating Teflon. o that lubrication is unnecessary. !t the
    beginning of opening a displacement uncovers a small flow section,
    permitting precise control of low rates of flow. For each profile the
    manufacturer supplies the curve of the variation of flow as a function of the
    height of lift of the disc. "ost automatic valves are of the double disc type.

    The double disc design can be used to e0uali1e the pressure across the
    disc and it can be varied to change flow characteristics through the valve or
    to change the operation of the valve, such as by decreasing the response
    time of the valve2s action. (ften, double disc valves used for flow control
    will be designed for special flow characteristics. Fig. 8-/.
    3hen a single disc valve is put into operation, all pressure drop across the
    valve is e4erted on the area of the valve seat. This force of pressure must
    be over come by the valve actuator. To overcome this problem, certain
    valves are designed with a double disc arrangement. This design is
    especially serviceable where system pressure is very high or where
    constant ad5ustment must be made to control a flow through the valve.
    ! piston balance valve allows the force e4erted across the seating area to
    be as e0ual as possible, while being directed in opposite direction. The
    double disc arrangement has the flow coming from the left. In the closed
    position, the fluid pressure would press against the bottom of the top disc
    and against the top of the bottom disc e0uali1ing flow pressure. #ven
    when the valve is open, there is an e0uali1ing force which gives the valve a
    smooth operation.

    3hen the standard valve is fully closed, there is of course, 1ero flow. !s
    the valve is opened, flow begins to increase rapidly through it. 3hen the
    valve is 7 open, there is almost no additional increase as the valve is
    opened all the way.
    3hen fine flow control re0uired, such as during controlled chemical
    additions or for boiler feed flow, a precise control of flow through the valve
    as it open is re0uired. This control can be achieved by a valve designed to
    have linear flow characteristics. !n e4ample of this type of valve is one
    designed with a double disc arrangement and used for the control of water
    going to a boiler.

    $omparison between a regular valve and valve designed for special flow
    re0uirements.
    The graph 8-6 illustrates the general flow characteristic curve for standard
    design values. Flow versus valve opening is plotted on the graph. The
    valve position is plotted on the hori1ontal a4is, and the percent of flow is
    plotted along the vertical a4is.
    The graph 8-8 shows the characteristics of linear flow through a double disc
    valve. !s with the standard valve graph, the comparison is made between
    valve opening and percent of flow through the valve. The valve position is
    plotted along the hori1ontal a4is and the percent of full flow is plotted along
    the vertical a4is. For flow to be linear, the characteristics curve must be a
    straight line; hence, the name 9'inear:. The graph shows that for each
    percent that the valve is opened or closed the flow ill change by the same
    percent. If the valve position is change from 1;8 open to < open, flow will
    increase by the same amount from 1;8 to < percent.
