Maximizing plant availability while minimizing control valve maintenance.
Accurate control of the feedwater valves are required to adjust the feedwater flow corresponding to the load or demand, preventing starvation or overflow of the boiler or HRSG.
It is important for a feedwater valve to be designed and sized for handling the wide range of severe operating conditions including high pressure drop at minimum flow and low pressure drop at maximum flow. High pressure control valves with anti-cavitation are required for this application.
