FLUSH BOTTOM VALVE

NILE LIMITED

TDC-07 ISSUE-2

As the name implies, the valve is fixed flush with the bottom portion of the dish, and ensures minimum volume of reactants is held in the bottom nozzle. This avoids contamination and eliminates unreacted (dead) volume. Spindle moves only in the vertical direction when the hand wheel is operated. For dimensions of standard valve, please refer page 2 of 3 this document. For different models available, please refer page 3 of 3 Details of a few models:

Requirement
For sensing temperatures at volumes lower than can sensed 1 by the conventional thermowell For operating the valve pneumatically (to avoid 2 human contact or for remote operation) For reduced dead volume in the valve body (to avoid 3 contamination to the subsequent batches / processes) For frequent removal of valve for cleaning 4 (when dead volume in the bottom nozzle is acceptable) For poking through the bottom nozzle to make way through settled 5 reactants to facilitate discharge (Pl. note that discharge rate reduces by 40%)

TDC-07 ISSUE-2

Models available in glass lined bottom discharge valve S. No. 1 2 MODEL DV-TO DV-BO DESCRIPTION / OPERATION Spindle moves upwards to open. In closed position, the PTFE valve seat facilitates minimum dead volume. Spindle moves downwards to open. In closed position, media in the nozzle remains as dead volume. Same as in DV-TO, but with temperature sensing arrangement with Tantalum tip. Facilitates sensing of temperatures of the reactants at volume lower than sensing volume of thermowell / baffle. Same as in DV-TO, but with bellow arrangement to minimize retained material in the valve body. A combination of DV-TO-BE & DV-TO-TS Same as in DV-TO, but with pneumatic actuator to facilitate remote operation & automation. This also provides safety for the personnel. Same as in DV-TO, but with a spindle that facilitates dislodging the chocked solids around the valve during its upward motion and clearing way for discharge, though at reduced rate. Same as DV-TO-PK, but with temperature sensing arrangement with Tantalum tip, for facilitating sensing of temperatures of the reactants at volume lower than sensing volume of thermowell / baffle. Available in only SSGL construction. Operation is similar to that of DV-TO, but with a nozzle of 20 NB size on the valve body. This facilitates purging of gas to clear chocking in valve or discharge line.
