2301 Type Self-Operated Flow Regulator
Self-operated flow regulator (hereinafter referred to as flow valve) is a kind of energy-saving products
that do not need external energy, relying on the pressure change of the regulated medium itself to adjust the
flow rate automatically, and has the comprehensive functions of measurement, actuating and control.
Widely used for automatic control system in city heating, heating system and petroleum, chemical,
metallurgy, light industry and other industrial sectors. This product can be used for flow control of noncorrosive (up to 200℃) media such as liquids, gases and steam.
Connection dimensions and standards
This product consists of a valve body flat throttle valve, regulator seat, valve core, pressure
compensation balance bellows, upper and lower membrane covers, membrane, effective The specific
structure of the pressure spring is shown in Figs. 1 and 2.

When the controlled medium fluid upstream pressure P1
firstly flow through the variable throttle valve and
then flow through the valve seat to the valve, the variable throttle valve end surface and the upper diameter of
the valve seat d0
form a column shape throttling area d0F, whose value d0F = S.π.d0
, when it is less than the
diameter cross section of the regulator, the fluid will be throttled. A certain pressure difference ΔPs=P1
-Ps,
called the effective pressure, will be formed on the proximal both sides of d0. The flow rate of the fluid
- is the combined flow coefficient can be determined according to the Bernoulli equation of
fluid dynamics. Therefore, the measured amount of △Ps can indicate the actual flow size of the controlled fluid.
The cross-sectional area of a throttle valve is doF=Sπdo, so the throttle area d0F changes when the
value of s is changed. The larger S is, the larger its corresponding flow rate is. Adjusting the amount of the s
value enables the flow rate set value to be adjusted.
P1
and Ps pressure through the pipeline are introduced into the upper and lower membrane chamber, the
pressure difference △ Ps acting on the membrane F produces upward thrust, the counterforce generated by
the effective pressure spring compression displacement S will be balanced by (P1
-Ps)F membrane = S1K, S1
-
valve displacement, K-effective compression of the spring stiffness, due to the upper and lower valve seat flow
cross-section are basically the same so S1=S, so the regulating valve core always work at the set S value that
is the flow value position playing the role of flow regulation.
When the flow through the valve increases due to the process, i.e., when the load increases, Ps first
decreases and the value of (P1
-Ps) increases, the force acting on the F-membrane is upward, bringing the
valve core closer to the valve seat and causing Ps to increase. When the counterforce generated by the
effective compression spring compression displacement increase is balanced with the (P1
-Ps) increase in the
force acting on the F membrane, the valve core is stationary, at this time, the position of the valve core S2
and
the original setting flow rate corresponding to S1
will have a certain deviation, which means that the regulator
plays a role in regulating to a certain extent. The flow rate will return to within the tolerance allowed by the set
value.Conversely, when the load flow is reduced, the opposite regulation action can also play a regulatory role.
In order to improve the regulating accuracy of flow regulator , the product is equipped with a pressure
balancer, whose function is to compensate for the flow error caused by the fluctuation of pressure P1
, Ps
before the valve and P2
after the valve, Ps pressure is introduced into the outer chamber of the balanced
bellows through the middle hole of the connecting rod of the valve core, and the P2
pressure is introduced into
the inner chamber of the bellows, and the bellows effecting area is designed equal to the flow cross section of
the valve seat, which can offset the force of Ps and P2
acting on the valve core, and the position of the valve
core only depends on the magnitude of the effective pressure △Ps, which improves the accuracy of flow
regulation.

Installation example
Installation example shown in Figure 9
Figure 9 Multi-user flow rate control
1. A few notes on site installation:
a. Site safety: the pipeline where the flow valve is installed should not be pressurized beforehand, and the
globe valves before and after the flow valve should be closed. Appropriate fire precautions should be
taken before welding is performed.
b. control performance: piping system pressure loss should be consistent with the loss considered in the
calculation of the size of the flow valve, import and export should have a certain straight segment
(generally 5D ~ 10D), in order to ensure the required control performance.
c. Installation position: there should be enough space for the operator to install and adjust the flow valve,
as well as to ensure the possibility of in site disassembly and maintenance of the flow valve and
accessories.
d. Filter: In order to ensure the normal use of the flow valve, filters should be installed in front of the flow
valve during installation and cleaned periodically. In plants with steam, there should be adequate
drainage and ventilation systems.
e. Flow valve group: Generally in the process piping, cut-off valves and bypass valves are installed to
form a valve group to adapt to the needs of continuous operation of the equipment. For maintenance and
unforeseen conditions, isolate with a cut-off valve and regulate with a bypass valve. The following layout
is recommended. f. In order to facilitate the regulation, display flow meters should be installed at
appropriate locations after (or before) the valve and near the valve where they can be easily observed.

2. Site installation
A. The installing personnel should first realize that the flow valve is a precision instrumentation equipment, can not be
collision, fall in order to avoid damage, affecting product performance.
B. The piping system should be flushed before the initial start-up and after the shutdown for maintenance, and then
the flow valve should be installed and the pressure in the pipeline should not exceed the limit value of the flow valve.
C. Be sure to install the flow valve in the direction of media flow (arrow on the valve body) as shown on the flow valve.
D. The flow valve should be mounted vertically upside down on the pipe. That is, the actuator is at the bottom and the
regulator is at the top, as shown in Figure 10. This ensures that the temperature of the medium is not transferred to
the actuator. When the medium temperature is below 80°C, the flow valve must be mounted upside down, i.e. with the
actuator mounted downwards. Supporting brackets should be added where the valve has a large weight or vibration.
3. Connection of control valve and actuator
Generally, regulators and actuators are shipped after connection and commissioning. If the user needs the
products to be shipped separately, it should be noted that after the arrival of the goods, it should be connected and
commissioned before use, first use the connecting nut to lock the actuator to the bonnet, then use copper or steel
pipe to connect the (+) and (+) ports (copper pipe 8 x 1 ferrule type connector M12 x 1.25), as shown in the figure.
