    Application Discussion

    U
    sed with constant speed, motor-operated feedpumps, the feedwater regulator valve controls flow to the

    boiler during normal plant operation when the boiler is under pressure. In this mode the pressure drops

    are small, and cavitation is not a concern. The main consideration is stable, reliable throttling operation.

    In smaller plants, the feedwater startup and regulator applications often are combined into one control valve.

    The combined startup / regulator valve eliminates cumbersome cross-over points and eases operation. During

    startup the valve must reduce pressure as high as 6000 psig and prevent cavitation. Upon reaching normal

    operating conditions, it then must provide stable control to maintain load and turndown. Turndowns of at

    least 75:1 are common. Also, this valve must handle such other conditions as:

    „ Filling of the boiler prior to firing

    „ Potential cavitation damage due to high differential pressures

    at startup

    „ Maintaining drum level or plant load during all operating

    conditions

    „ Adequate seat load to prevent leakage while the feedpump is in

    recirculation mode

    „ Control issues that can cause excessive drum level or plant load

    swings, potentially tripping the plant during startup

    Emerson has specific Fisher-engineered solutions for variations in plant design. These solutions offer

    protection from cavitation, erosion, plugging, and leakage while providing high rangeability. Also, to ensure

    proper operation after installation, the Fisher FIELDVUE® Digital Valve Controller can be used to monitor valve

    performance. The FIELDVUE DVC provides diagnostic reviews without interrupting the process in order to

    identify potential performance issues. This helps to ensure proper operation and tight shutoff over the normal

    service life of the valve.

    FISHER CUSTOMIZATION

    An existing feedwater regulator valve experienced excessive noise and vibration due to
    inadequate trim design. A new valve was installed with Cavitrol® III trim specially
    characterized to match the motor drive pump curve. Also utilized was a high
    performance actuation system that allows monitoring the new valve in real time. See
    D351190X012 at www.Fishersevereservice.com for additional details.
