In the full capacity of a power plant operation, the boiler feedwater control valves are crucial to protect the boiler feed pumps and at the same time handle and control drum levels from start-up to normal operating conditions. A smooth, stable, and reliable operation of the boiler feedwater control valves lay the foundation for optimal plant efficiency. Unexpected maintenance and failures have the potential to bring down power production, which can incur significant contractual penalties.
What’s your opportunity?
- High rangeability to ensure a smooth transition from start-up to full operation
- Deliver precise and responsive control of water levels to improve boiler efficiency
- Protect critical feed pump assets with proven feedwater recirculation control valves
- Maximize plant availability with engineered solutions for cavitation protection, especially in boiler feedwater recirculation
Bring intelligence to your entire valve assembly
Increase plant reliability and efficiency with predictive maintenance practices through Fisher FIELDVUE DVC.
Eliminate cavitation during initial operation and provide the rangeability required for a smooth transition from start-up to full load operation.
- Characterized trims provide low-flow cavitation protection during initial operation and necessary flow as pressure rises.
- High turndown handles extreme flow rates.
- Advanced sealing technology provides tight shutoff and extends service life.
