Abstract: The first generation control valve has three problems of bulky, incomplete function and poor reliability. As a breakthrough direction of new products, a "full-function ultra-light control valve" has been developed. As soon as it came out, it was highly appraised and highly valued by users and design institutes. As a new product, it will gradually replace the current leading products and become the mainstream of the control valve in the next century. Keywords: full-function; ultralight; control valve 1, the history of regulating valve As early as 60 years ago, single seat valve, double seat valve, diaphragm valve, angle valve, butterfly valve, ball valve, three-way valve, sleeve valve , Eccentric rotary valve nine categories of control valves have come out, but in the next thirty years time, the product no major breakthroughs, let alone upgrading, people just work hard to improve and perfect. A successful example is the 70's CV3000 and the 80's domestic small single-seat valve, sleeve valve. They are down 30% from the weight and height of the old-fashioned product, but there is no breakthrough in terms of functionality and reliability. Therefore, single-seat valves, double-seat valves and sleeve valves, which represent only the 60-70's, are still the dominant products of regulating valves to date, which is obviously incompatible with the rapid development of automation technology. Therefore, the valve industry urgently needs the advent of a new generation of products. 2, the main existing problems of leading products In order to find the breakthrough direction of the control valve, we must first fully understand the problems existing in the control valve. In 1997, we made a special investigation of the control valve, reflecting a total of nine issues: 1) too stupid 3313%; 2) a large variety of used to bring 6711% of the troubles; 3) a large leak accounted for 4215% ; 4) often blocking the card, slow action accounted for 2518%; 5) short life expectancy of 1317%; 6) the thrust is not enough, the valve is not strict accounted for 916%; 7) small flow coefficient, a small adjustment range of 512% 413% of the leakage; 9) oscillation, vibration, whistling accounted for 117%. Producing these problems is undoubtedly related to the valve's own defects, the quality of production, the quality of use, but only from the valve defects to find the reasons for the following three major issues. 2.1, bulky regulating valve ranging from tens of kilograms, hundreds of kilograms, weighing hundreds of kilograms, and even thousands of kilograms. It brings great trouble to the control valve transportation, lifting, installation and maintenance. 2.2, incomplete functional dysfunction, coexistence of multiple varieties will inevitably form, so that complementary functions. It gives considerable inconvenience to the calculation, selection, maintenance, spare parts, plant management, etc. of the regulating valve. 2.3, poor reliability Poor reliability is bound to appear, such as "leakage, drop, plug, card, poor action" and other issues. It brings great difficulty to the normal operation of the system. 3, the breakthrough direction of new products From the beginning of this century until now, the control valve is still at the level of old products. According to the above problems of old products, we first set the breakthrough direction of new products. 3.1, the weight of the breakthrough should at least be the leading products in the old products single seat valve, seat valve, sleeve valve weight decreased 60% to 80%, but also smaller than the fine valve 30% to 50% in order to truly achieve Small, light, instrumentation. 3.2, functional breakthrough With a multi-functional or full-featured products to replace many of the features of incomplete products, so as to greatly reduce the variety of regulating valve specifications; in order to control valve applications --- calculation, selection, factory management, Spare parts and other spare parts to bring simplified. 3.3, a breakthrough in reliability one by one breakthrough in the first generation of unreliable factors, to improve the quality of the system operation. 4, a new type of control valve --- full-featured ultralight valve was born to find the breakthrough direction of the control valve, we focus on organizational research, spent more than two years of hard work, and finally the old products exist in the bulky, incomplete, poor reliability The three major issues have been a major breakthrough in the birth of new products. It highlights three major characteristics. 4.1, ultralight 1) Intuitive comparison The product is small, light weight, the appearance can be clear at a glance. For visual comparison, we connect it with the same diameter single seat valve, double seat valve, sleeve valve for intuitive comparison, see below. 2) The weight comparison Full-featured ultra-light valve and the prevailing leading products single-seat valve, two-seated valve, sleeve valve weight by specification one by one to compare (comparison table omitted). The comparison results are: Pneumatic valve weight reduced by 60% to 70%; electric valve weight reduced by 70% to 80%. 4.2, full-featured 1) the function of regulating valve research and description In order to break through the function, we must first figure out the use of regulating valve, see Table 1. Table 1: The use of regulating valve function No. Using the function Function Description 1 Adjust the main function, which manifested in five aspects: flow characteristics, adjustable ratio, small opening work performance, Kv value and speed of action 2 cut off reflects the internal quality of the valve Indicators, valve leakage should be as small as possible 3 overcome the pressure to ensure that the valve moves freely and cut off, and cut-off function inseparable 4 anti-blocking valve to ensure the normal operation of clean media occasions; to prevent the pipe slag slag valve 5 Corrosion Resistant Media corrosion (corrosive media), erosion (including particles and high pressure differential medium) and cavitation (flash media) 6 pressure resistance reflects the strength and safety indicators 7 valve Temperature to meet the different conditions of the valve Strength and performance requirements 8 Appearance of the small size, light weight, instrumentation and beauty 9 weight easy to use (lifting, transportation, installation and maintenance, etc.) 2) full-featured ultra-light valve to achieve the full realization of the functional description Table 2 Table 2 features full-featured ultra-light valve No. Features Explain 1 Adjustable performance is good Adjustable range R = 100 ~ 200 P, N, M 3 to 7 times; small opening adjustment Good performance; Kv value is single-seat valve, double-seat valve, sleeve valve 2 to 3 times 2 cut off the performance of a good spool and valve seat into line contact, good contact, hard seal leakage rate 10-6 ~ 10-7, Than the single-seat, two-seat and sleeve leakage rate (10-3 ~ 10-4) to reduce 1 ‰ 3 overcome the maximum differential pressure force on the center of the small torque, so cut off the pressure difference up to the maximum PN value, Is 5 to 20 times the single-seat valve 4 anti-blocking properties of good media through, the flow path is simple, anti-blocking performance is much better than the single-seat valve, seat valve and sleeve valve 5 good corrosion resistance The valve uses a corrosion-resistant And erosion-resistant measures, with excellent corrosion and erosion resistance 6 pressure performance good forging valve body, PN up to 32MPa 7 good temperature resistance using high temperature filler, the applicable temperature range: -60 ℃ ~ + 600 ℃ 8 small size, light weight The best structural design, the weight of the machine is more single, double seat valve, sleeve valve to reduce 60% to 80%; height drop 50% to 70% 9 appearance design optimization, The best combination of actuator and valve, the whole machine is symmetrical and beautiful 3) Comparison with other valve functions Full-featured ultra-light control valve Other features nine type valve is shown in table 3.

It will gradually replace the current dominant position of single-seat valve, double-seat valve and sleeve valve of old products and become the mainstream of the control valve in the new century. If so, it will be our great contribution to the history of the development of control valves in China.
