Reliable valve actuators specified for power plant
AmerenUe has placed a $3 million order with CCI Switzerland for the replacement of conventional actuators on isolation valves at the Callaway Nuclear Plant
The large order includes CCI's high and low pressure steam bypass and spraywater valves, as well as hot reheat to condenser steam bypass and spraywater valves.
The low pressure valve is CCI's LLP design, which is capable of delivering dependable Class V shutoff and fast response, and a reduction in temperature control in a complete and compact steam-conditioning valve.
Some of these designs will also be incorporating DRAG technology, which provides highly reliable valve performance and longer intervals between maintenance.
Both the High Pressure and Hot Re-Heat Bypass valves meet the tight shut-off requirements as per MSS-SP-61, using a pressurized seat design.
MSS-SP-61 tight shut-off totally eliminates the need of isolation valves which lead to a financial savings for the customer.
With a DRAG customized severe service control valve, noise, erosion and cavitation is prevented by forcing process fluid to follow a tortuous path of right angle turns through the trim, thus controlling damaging velocities.
CCI is the world's leading manufacturer of severe-service control valves and hydraulic and pneumatic actuators for coal, oil, gas, and nuclear power plants; the oil and gas producing and hydrocarbon industries; and pulp and paper plants worldwide.
With headquarters in Rancho Santa Margarita, California, and offices worldwide, CCI also operates major design and manufacturing facilities in Winterthur, Switzerland; Osaka, Japan; and Kyunggi-Do, South Korea, Saffle, Sweden; and Vienna, Austria.
