HP Bypass Valves Type ARS

Application

The HP-Bypass Valve Type ARS is a steam conditioning

valve for steam throttling with very high pressure drop
combined with in-body desuperheating through spraywater
injection. Its prime area of application are high pressure
bypass systems for fossil-fired power plants with subcritical
as well as supercritical steam conditions. With the range of
available body materials, the ARS-valve can be applied for
main steam pressures and temperatures of today’s most
advanced thermal power plants. The valve is specially
designed for the cyclic operation of bypass systems.
Equipped with a hydraulic actuator and the necessary
safety control devices the valve can be used as combined
HP-Bypass and superheater safety valve according to
TRD 421. The complete system has a type approval
(Bauteilkennzeichen) for this application.
Function
Features
The valve combines the function of pressure reduction
n Compact, Robust Design and desuperheating. For pressure reduction a so-called
Less number of components wing type plug is used. This design incorporates specially
Easy to maintain designed channels that divide the steam flow into discreet
paths, resulting in noise level reductions of 10dBA over
n Integrated desuperheating
conventional plug designs.
Water injection in area of highest turbulence
The spraywater is injected into a zone of high steam
Optimal mixing of steam and water velocity and turbulence. This ensures a fine atomization
Very short straight pipe length after the valve combined with a good mixing of the injected water with
(approx. 1m) the steam, which results in a very short evaporation length
n Designed for frequent start-ups and an even temperature distribution at the valve outlet.
The specially designed multi-function contoured cage
Optimized body shape for minimal thermal stress
breaks the steam jet into multiple small jets, ensuring noise
Multi-function contoured cage eliminates thermal
attenuation. This cage also prevents water droplets from
shocks
reaching the pressure boundary walls, thereby eliminating
n Pressure range 160 - 250 bar any chance of thermal shocks. The optimized arrangement
n Temperature range 500 - 570 °C of the spraywater nozzles, the shape of the cage and the
arrangement of the holes are the result of extensive fluid

The valve body with its spherical shapes is designed
for cyclic operation and frequent start-ups. Material
concentrations and abrupt changes of wall thickness are
avoided.
