The Purpose of a Flow Control Valve

Flow control valves are used in a variety of industries. In this article, we'll explain the operation of two common types: a High Pressure Control Valve and a Liquid Dump Valve.

Flow control valves are used to move liquids including oil, gas and water through piping and downstream for separation, transportation, or storage.

High Pressure Control Valves

A high-pressure control valve is a flexible product that can be applied to applications requiring both flow control and pressure control.

It is primarily used as a liquid dump valve on a separation vessel in flow control.

Here's how it works:

• Until a pilot instructs it to change, the valve will stay in the fail position.
• In a liquid dump application, a liquid level controller will send a signal to the pilot telling them to open the valve and dump the liquid.
• The stem-guided high pressure control valve's flow originates from above the seat. With minimal Cv (is this right?- Yes, it is. It's a valve's capacity.) options, this type of valve allows fine control.

Additionally, the High Pressure Control Valve can be field converted to fail open or close with simple hand tools.

Lever Operated Liquid Dump Valve

The Lever Operated Liquid Dump Valve is another popular form of flow control valve.

To maintain and regulate the liquid level in production vessels, a liquid dump valve is a part of a liquid level control system.

The five main components of a mechanical liquid level control system are as follows:

• Trunnion Assembly
• Float Arm
• Float
• Linkage Rod
• Liquid Dump Valve

Here's how it works:

• Upstream plumbing is connected to the dump valve.
• The linkage rod rises, elevating the arm on the dump valve, when the float in the separation vessel reaches the desired level. By doing so, the valve is opened, 'dumping' the liquid into the next stage of processing or sale.

Consider how often your crew is dispensing fluids. Then consider how much money you could save if you could account for all of it. 

Bulk fluids cost you thousands of dollars annually. Add up what you're missing with every drop that's spilled or misplaced, and you're losing out on significant profit opportunities.

An effective fluid control system dispenses only precise, pre-authorized volumes to create efficiencies for your entire shop operation. Here are the top 4 reasons why you need fluid control:

1. Accountability.

Fluid control systems can regulate every ounce of fluid in your shop or dealership. In fact, they can be programmed to dispense only the correct fluid and authorized amount. This ensures that every vehicle or machine receives the appropriate amount of fluid for more accurate billing. In addition, you can minimize dispensing errors ' and even identify where inaccuracies originate.

2. Accurate inventory.

Storing bulk fluids can be complicated ' and frustrating. Most shops and dealerships must plan ahead when transitioning from an empty container to a new one. If a new drum is ordered too soon, it may take up much-needed space for an excessive time period. If it's ordered too late, common services can't be performed. With a fluid control system, you can track the amount of fluid dispensed so you always know when it's time to reorder drums.

3. Efficiency.

Customers demand fast service. The faster you perform a job, the sooner you can move on to the next one. With fluid control, your technicians don't have to guess, and subsequently check and even redispense, the amount of fluid used. Only the correct amount of fluid is dispensed ' once ' so your crews can complete a service order and move on to the next one quickly.

4. Profitability.

Waste cuts into your profits ' whether it's from wasted materials or wasted efforts from your team. Use fluid control systems to enhance profitability by optimizing your resources. Use more of the bulk fluids you've purchased and tie them directly to service orders. Additionally, by maximizing the productivity of your crew, you can churn through more service orders in less time to improve profitability.
