    阀门定位器选型指南

    阀门定位器选型指南

    钟声  编译


    (湖南化学工业设计院,长沙,410007

    摘要:阀门定位器选型的好坏,将直接影响调节阀及调节系统的性能和品质。因此如何正确合理地选用阀门定位器在控制领域显得尤其重要。


    关键词:阀门定位器  选型  指南


    在从多的控制应用场合中,阀门定位器是调节阀最重要的附件之一。尤其是对于某个特定的应用场合,如果要选择一个最适用的(或者说最佳的)阀门定位器,那么就应注意考虑下列因素:


    1)阀门定位器能否实现“分程(SPLIT—ranging)”?实现“分程”是否容易、方便?具备“分程”功能就意味着阀门定位器只对输入信号的某个范围(如:4~12mA0.02~0.06MPaG)有响应。因此,如果能“分程”的话,就可以根据实际需要,只用一个输入信号实现先后控制两台或多台调节阀。


    2)零点和量程的调校是否容易、方便?是不是不用打开盒盖就可以完成零点和量程的调校?但值得注意的是:有时候为了避免不正确的(或非法的)操作,这种随意就可进行调校的方式需要被禁止。


    3)零点和量程的稳定性如何?如果零点和量程容易随着温度、振动、时间或输入压力的变化而产生漂移的话,那么阀门定位器就需要经常地被重新调校,以确保调节阀的行程动作准确无误。


    4)阀门定位器的精度如何?在理想情况下,对应某一输入信号,调节阀的内件(Trim Parts,包括阀芯、阀杆、阀座等)每次都应准确地定位在所要求的位置,而不管行程的方向或者调节阀的内件随多大的负载。


    5)阀门定位器对空气质量的要求如何?由于只有极少数供气装置能提供满足ISA标准(有关仪表用空气质量的标准:ISA标准F7.3)所规定的空气,因此,对于气动员或电-气)阀门定位器,如果要经受得住现实环境的考验,就必须能承受一定数量的尘埃、水汽和油污。


    6)零点和量程的标定两者是相互影响还是相互独立?如果相互影响,则零点和量程的调校就需要花费更多的时间,这是因为调校人员必须对这两个参数进行反复调整,以便逐步地达到准确的设定。


    7)阀门定位器是否具务“旁路”(Bypass)可允许输入信号直接作用于调节阀?这种“旁路”有时可简化或者省去执行机构装配设定(Actuator Settings)的校验,如:执行机构的“支座组件(Benchset)设定”和“弹簧座负载(Seat Load)设定”——这是因为在许多情况下,一些气动调节器的气动输出信号与执行机构的“支座组件设定”完全吻合匹配,用不着对其再进行设定(其实,在这种情况下,阀门定位器完全可以省去不用。当然,如果选用了,那么也可利用阀门定位器的“旁路”使气动调节器的气动输出信号直接作用于调节阀)。另外,具备“旁路”有时也可允许在线的对阀门定位器进行有限度的调校或维修维护(即利用阀门定位器的“旁路”使调节阀继续保持正常工作,无须强制调节阀离线)。


    8)阀门定位器的作用是否快速?空气流量(Airflow)愈大(阀门定位器不断的比较输入信号和阀位,并根据它们之间的偏差,调节其本身的输出。如果阀门定位器对这种偏差响应快速,那么单位时间里空气的流动量就大),调节系统对设定点(Setpoint)和负载变化的响应就愈快—这意味着系统的误差(滞后)愈小,控制品质愈佳。


    9)阀门定位器的频率特性(或称频率响应,Frequency Response—即G),系统对正弦输入的稳态响应是什么?一般来说,频率特性愈高(即对频率响应的灵敏度愈高),控制性能就愈好。但必须注意:频率特性应采用稳定的实验方法(Consistent Test Methods)而非理论方法来确定,并且在评估测定频率特性时,应将阀门定位器和执行机构合并起来考虑。

    Chian's expressway will be extended to 2.3million km

    By the end of 2005 China had registered an expressway mileage totaling 41,000 km, only next to that of the United States, according to related sources. From 2000 to 2005, statistics showed, China invested 2.23 trillion yuan in fixed assets in transportation, exceeding the total volume from 1949 to 2000. From 2003 to 2005, 630,000 km cement road was paved in rural areas, two times that of the total length built from 1949 to 2002. According to government plan, China's highway mileage will increase by 380,000 km in the coming five years, extending the total length of operational highway to 2.3 million km.

    三偏心蝶阀的发展及应用

    三偏心蝶阀的发展及应用
     在许多亚太国家中、由于受本国的阀门设计制造水平的局限、以及传统教科书的影响、对蝶阀的偏见仍很大。而与此同时、欧美的先进发达工业国家却正在大力推广、积极使用蝶阀。
      道理很简单,蝶阀已今非昔比。
      
      蝶阀的卓越性能与其自身不断地偏心、演变、发展密切相关。为满足各种工况要求、蝶阀先后经历了从同心向单偏心、双偏心和三偏心的演变。碟阀的演变过程及 3 偏心碟阀的发展和应用简单介绍如下∶
      一、蝶阀分类
      1、同心蝶阀
        该种蝶阀的结构特征为阀杆轴心、蝶板中心、本体中心在同一位置上。结构简单、制造方便。常见的衬胶蝶阀即属于此类。缺点是由于蝶板与阀座始终处于挤压、刮擦状态、阻距大、磨损快。为克服挤压、刮擦、保证密封性能、阀座基本上采用橡胶或聚四氟乙烯等弹性材料、但也因而在使用上受到温度的限制、这就是为什么传统上人们认为蝶阀不耐高温的原因。

      2、单偏心蝶阀

        为解决同心蝶阀的蝶板与阀座的挤压问题、由此产生了单偏心蝶阀、其结构特征为阀杆轴心偏离了蝶板中心、从而使蝶板上下端不再成为回转轴心、分散、减轻了蝶板上下端与阀座的过度挤压。但由于单偏心构造在阀门的整个开关过程中蝶板与阀座的刮擦现象并未消失、在应用范围上和同心蝶阀大同小异、故采用不多。


      3、双偏心蝶阀
       在单偏心蝶阀的基础上进一步改良成型的就是目前应用最广泛的双偏心蝶阀。其结构特征为在阀杆轴心既偏离蝶板中心、也偏离本体中心。双偏心的效果使阀门被开启后蝶板能迅即脱离阀座、大幅度地消除了蝶板与阀座的不必要的过度挤压、刮擦现象、减轻了开启阻距、降低了磨损、提高了阀座寿命。刮擦的大幅度降低、同时还使得双偏心蝶阀也可以采用金属阀座、提高了蝶阀在高温领域的应用。但因为其密封原理属位置密封构造、即蝶板与阀座的密封面为线接触、通过蝶板挤压阀座所造成的弹性变形产生密封效果、故对关闭位置要求很高(特别是金属阀座)、承压能力低、这就是为什么传统上人们认为蝶阀不耐高压、泄漏量大的原因。

      4、三偏心蝶阀

        要耐高温、必须使用硬密封、但泄漏量大;要零泄漏、必须使用软密封、却不耐高温。为克服双偏心蝶阀这一矛盾、又对蝶阀进行了第三次偏心。其结构特征为在双偏心的阀杆轴心位置偏心的同时、使蝶板密封面的圆锥型轴线偏斜于本体圆柱轴线、也就是说、经过第三次偏心后、蝶板的密封断面不再是真圆、而是椭圆、其密封面形状也因此而不对称、一边倾斜于本体中心线、另一边则平行于本体中心线。

        这第三次偏心的最大特点就是从根本上改变了密封构造、不再是位置密封、而是扭力密封、即不是依*阀座的弹性变形、而是完全依*阀座的接触面压来达到密封效果、因此一举解决了金属阀座零泄漏这一难题、并因接触面压与介质压力是成正比的、耐高压高温也迎刃而解。

      二、三偏心蝶阀的发展
      三偏心碟阀自问世以来、为满足日益严酷的工况要求、其本身也经历着自我完善和不断发展的过程。即便最基本的零泄漏、理论上三偏心碟阀都可以做到、但实际上还是有赖于周密的设计、精密的制造。巴蝶阀门株式会社在吸取、总结其他品牌三偏心碟阀的长短处的基础上、推出了自己的独具特色的三偏心碟阀 Tritec 、其特点如下∶
      1、API 规格
        众所周知、 API609 已事实上成为工业重要管线上用阀门的国际规格。而 Tritec 则全面严格按照 API609 规格的最新 1997 年版设计、制造。更可贵的是、 Tritec 的基本设计不仅仅局限于 API 一个规格、 BS5155 ANSI B 16.34 、 ASME SEC VIII 等各大规格都能对应、这保证了 Tritec 在所有的工业领域都有用武之地。
      2、双重安全构造
        Tritec 严格按照 API609 的规格要求、为防止因受流体压力、温度的影响而引起的蝶板变形、阀杆错位、密封面咬合、在蝶板上下侧分别装有两个各自独立的止推环、从而保证了阀门在任何工况下的正常工作;
        同时、为防止未知原因所引起的阀杆破损、飞出而造成的突发事故、在阀门下端内外两处设计了各自独立的阀杆飞出防止机构、这也从侧面保证了 Tritec 的压力等级可以做到高达 2500 磅级。
      3、无死区设计     Tritec 在设计过程中、特别考虑了在调控领域中的应用问题、充分利用三偏心蝶阀的密封原理、做到了阀门开关时蝶板不刮擦阀座、阀杆的扭矩通过蝶板直接传递至密封面、也就是说蝶板与阀座间几乎无磨擦现象发生、从而杜绝了打开普通阀门是所常见的跳跃现象、根除了阀门的低开度范围内因磨擦等各种不安定因素所造成的调控不能现象、即根除了死区(不感带)、这意味着 Tritec 几乎可以从 0 开度开始即进入可调控区域、直至 90 开度、其正常调控比是一般蝶阀的 2 倍以上、调控比最高可高达 100:1 以上。这为 Tritec 作为调控阀使用创造了良好的条件、特别是在大口径时、截止阀的成本极高、另外、截止阀无法实现零泄漏、在需要紧急关断的工况中、必须在截止阀的旁侧加装关断阀、而 Tritec 集调控与关断于一身、其经济效益是极其可观的。
      4、本体阀座构造     三偏心蝶阀的阀座安装构造有两种、大多数是为图方便而安装在蝶板上、但 Tritec 则采用了本体阀座构造、将阀座安装在本体上。其优点是与蝶板阀座相比、大大减少了阀座直接接触介质的机会、从而降低了阀座受冲蚀的程度、延长了阀座的使用寿命。
      5、薄层片阀座结构     Tritec 的阀座由不锈钢薄片与石墨薄片层叠而成、这种结构可以有效地防止介质中的微小固形物的影响和热膨胀所可能引起的密封面咬合、即使出现微小的损伤、也不会产生泄漏、而这在对双偏心蝶阀或其它三偏心蝶阀来说是不可想像的。
      6、可更换式密封副     Tritec 的密封副可谓独树一帜、不但本体阀座可以更换、而且由于蝶板密封面与蝶板是独立的、蝶板密封面可也可以更换、也就是说当蝶板密封面受损时、不必再兴师动众地运回制造厂或大举分解阀门、只需调换蝶板密封面即可、这不但大大降低了保养成本、还大大减少了维修工时和检修强度与难度。
      7、均衡固定结构     从三偏心蝶阀的密封面形状特点出发、 Tritec 的密封副固定方式采用了螺栓椭圆形分布固定、不但定位精确、而且还使每个螺栓都均衡受力、杜绝了因应力分布不均而产生的密封副松动、泄漏。
      8、本质耐火构造     很多阀门都声称具有耐火构造、但其中极大部分阀门为了减少泄漏量而采用了软硬双重阀座构造、其实这很危险。因为火灾时软密封阀座的不完全燃烧会使金属支持阀座产生应力、温差变形、从而导致耐火机能失灵。所以、目前欧美正在逐渐排除这类名不副实的耐火阀。 Tritrc 因为是零泄漏、所以不需要软密封的介助、属名副其实的本质耐火构造、并获有 API607 、API6FA 和 BS6755Part2 的耐火检验合格认可证书。这保证了 Tritec 可以被应用于石油、石化等各种危险区域。在保守的英国、其北海油田的各个关键部位所使用的阀门、几乎全被 Tritec 囊括即是最好的例证。
      9、高密封填料构造     在阀门的泄漏问题上、传统上往往都集中于阀座的泄漏、即内漏、而忽略了填料部的泄漏、即外漏。而实际上、在目前环境问题被日益重视的当代社会、外漏危害性远大于内漏已成为不争的事实。 Tritec 三偏心蝶阀属回转型阀门、其阀杆动作仅为 90 °回转而已、这与闸阀、截止阀等阀杆动作为螺旋多回转往复运动相比、其填料部所受磨损程度很低、相对地使用寿命很长、更由于 Tritec 在填料密封等防止外部泄漏构造上、采取了最高标准设计、从而可以在按照 EPA21 规格下进行外部泄漏测试时、标准密封性能保证在 100ppm 以下。而实际上、在现有的 Tritec 的测试成绩中、在劳埃德的监测情况下、外部泄漏值低至 7ppm 。这些指标都意味着 Tritec 可以在化工等各种领域中的有毒、有害介质管线中大显身手。

      三、三偏心蝶阀的应用
      综上所述、三偏心蝶阀作为阀门最新科技的结晶、扬各种阀门之长、避各种阀门之短、必将越来越受到广大用户和设计人员的重视。巴蝶阀门株式会社的 Tritec 、其最大压力等级可以到达 2500 磅级、标准口径可以做到 48 英寸、而且对夹、凸耳、法兰、环接、对接焊、夹套、各种结构长度等都可以对应、更由于 Tritec 的材料选择余地很大、高低温及各种酸、碱等腐蚀性介质也都能对应自如。特别是在大口径方面、以其零泄漏的优势、在关断阀上、正在不断地取代粗大的闸阀和球阀、同样、以其优异的调控机能、在调控阀上、也正在不断地取代笨重的截止阀。作为事实、到目前为止、 Tritec 已被使用在包括中国在内的石油天然气开采、海上平台、石油精练、石油化工、无机化工、能源发电等各大工业领域的过程控制等各种重要管线上。

    burn off the tissue of the asthma patients

     

    In a radical experiment, doctors are snaking wires inside the lungs of asthma patients to essentially burn off some of the tissue that blocks their ability to breathe. Called bronchial thermoplasty, the procedure is the first attempt at a non-drug treatment for asthma. It's not without risk. Irritating those super-sensitive airways can trigger wheezing, and no one knows the long-term effects. Nor does it promise a cure. But the hope is that physically altering spasm-prone airways might one day help thousands of patients with hard-to-control asthma breathe easier.

     

    radical                  adj.  根本的, 基本的, 激进的

    snake                   v.  迂回前进

    asthma                 n.  [医]哮喘

    burn off                烧掉, 蒸发

    bronchial              adj. 支气管的

    thermoplasty        n.  热塑(性)塑料, 热塑性

    airway                 n.  空气道; 通气孔,【医】导氮管

    trigger                 vt.  引发, 引起, 触发

    wheeze                vi.   喘息, 很困难地呼吸

    spasm                  n.  (感情等)一阵发作, 痉挛

    prone                   adj. 倾向于

     

     

     

    参考译文:

             医生们做了一次大胆的实验,他们把电线迂回着慢慢放进哮喘病人的肺里,以便烙除那些妨碍病人呼吸的组织。这个过程称为支气管热塑,是首次试图采用非药物的方法来治疗哮喘。实验有一定的危险性,刺激这些非常敏感的气管会引发呼吸困难,医生也不知道它的长期后果如何。而且它无法保证治愈哮喘。但是通过对容易痉挛的气管进行修补的这种疗法在将来可能帮助大量患有严重哮喘的病人轻松地呼吸,这是现在进行实验的希望所在。

    Pac-Manhattan  曼哈顿之幽灵
    The classic arcade game Pac-Man inspired a popular urban game in New York called Pac-Manhattan. Gamers dress up as ghosts and run through the streets of Manhattan, chasing another player dressed as Pac-Man. When a ghost touches Pac-Man, the game ends.
    由典雅的游戏中心“ 曼哈顿之鬼 ”所产生的灵感在纽约都市迅速流行。游戏者则装扮成“鬼模鬼样”在纽约的曼哈顿街上追逐另一组打扮成鬼的敌人。当“鬼之幽灵”接触到人,游戏结束.

    Each player has a “controller” who sits in a room and monitors the game action on a map. The gamers use their cell phones to update their controllers on their location. It’s the controllers’ job to help them either find or avoid the other players.

    in most cities,down town refers to the central business areas

    2. the New York minute = very rapid speed

    only 1.3 million people infected by HIV and AIDS received treatment

     

    Denial, food shortages and squandered resources were among the problems preventing thousands of AIDS patients from getting treatment in countries hardest hit by the disease, according to a report by treatment activists. The findings were in an update released Wednesday by the International Treatment Preparedness Coalition, a group that reported in November on the reasons countries failed to meet the U.N. goal of treating 3 million people infected by HIV and AIDS by the end of 2005. Only 1.3 million people received treatment.

    根据治疗人员公布的报告,在那些艾滋病感染最严重的国家,由于存在否认患病、食品短缺以及资源浪费等突出问题,使得数以千计的艾滋病患者得不到治疗。国际治疗准备联盟(International Treatment Preparedness Coalition)周四在最新的报告中公布了调查结果,它曾在去年11月份报道了这些国家未能达到联合国目标的原因,联合国计划在2005年底治疗300万感染HIV和AIDS病毒的患者,但是结果只有130万人得到治疗。
