Typical Gate Valve Applications
These types of valves can be applied in a variety of use cases, including but not limited to:
- Refinery machinery
- Petrochemical plant machinery
- Low-pressure and high-temperature operations
Why Is Online Simulation with SimScale Needed for This Application?
Gate valve applications need to be analyzed in the early design process to predict performance in terms of thermal as well as pressure shock. In addition to this, pressure drop and the force acting upon the walls of the valve should be evaluated.
Using CFD, FEA, and thermodynamic simulation from SimScale, you can assess the pressure forces, shock, stress and strain, as well as proposed fluid flow through the device. Additionally, you can identify recirculation zones and study the effect of surface roughness on the performance of the pressure vessel. Using online evaluation engineers can quickly make design iterations for optimization before physical prototyping, thereby saving time and resources.’ button1_text= ” button1_link=”]
