The updated Multi-Z valve is available in globe and angle configurations and multiple material options, enabling it to be tailored to meet specific application requirements. It features a multistage trim design and is available with several staging options. The axial flow design of the Multi-Z valve utilizes large passage sizes, allowing it to pass much larger particulate than typical drill hole or stacked disc technologies.
The updated Multi-Z valve with standard trim has verified valve flow capacities (Cv) through computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and testing that exactly match commonly accepted industry capacities. This enables operators to replace existing valves and avoid an expensive and time-consuming re-evaluation of the safety relief systems in a management of change (MOC) review.
Flowserve designed the Valtek Multi-Z valve to accommodate solids in liquid media, minimize high sound levels, tolerate high temperatures, eliminate cavitation formation, and resist corrosion.
