Hi Vinay Sharma

common practice is to have an isolating valve upstream and downstream of the control valve, and a throttling valve in the bypass line. The isolating valves are so the control valve can be isolated for servicing, and the throttling valve provides some degree of flow/pressure regulation (sometimes manual operation) during control valve servicing.

Cheers

Friends,
I have a doubt regarding the kind of valves to be placed in a control valve loop.
There are two issues ???

  1. Which valves should I go for around the control valve ?
  2. Which valve should I go for in the bypass line ?

Regards,
Vinay Sharma.

Hi Shah M. Tanweer

I think we have come to the branch in the road.

As far as "size" goes it is quite clear in the S&K website downloads
that it

refers to the suction and the discharge connections in inch NB. Have
you

looked at these? It also gives a sizing procedure.
I suspect that if you do need 1300gpm to do the job, then the low
efficiency

of an ejector will make it a bad choice for continuous duty. Unless
you

specifically need an ejector then I suggest you look at alternatives
such as

liquid ring vacuum pumps. Or perhaps you need something like a jet
scrubber.

It is impossible to select as you have provided no process
conditions.

If you wish to persist with the ejector you could try contacting S-K
with an

enquiry; I have found them helpful in the past, and they
manufacture.

For liquid ring pumps, you could google Nash Kinema.

In light of our correspondence to date, I would advise against you
"designing" an ejector at this stage. I suggest you buy this one
(ejector,

vacuum pump or whatever) based on a performance spec, see how it
works, and

think about designing the next one.
You may wish to read the article "Selecting Vacuum Systems" in
Chemical

Engineering magazine (McGraw Hill) Dec 14 1981.

Thats it for me on this topic.

Good luck

Steve McKenzie

Dear
Steve McKenzie

I remain thankful for your help. Can you guide me
about the sizes if the water consumption is round
about 1300 gpm. At example 5 and table 8 KARASSIK
chapter 4, does not deel with high flow.

Also please let me know What "SIZE" exactly mean. I
mean what portion of ejector exactly

Ever Yours
Shah M. Tanweer
