Diverter damper valves for industrial gas applications for flow distribution.


GD Diverter damper valves

Beyond the valve
Diverter damper valves are made as a welded assembly construction and usually made for on/off or modulating gas applications. The installation of this equipment is done between pipeline flanges and a crossing pipeline in a T-shape configuration or special angle according to customer specifications. This design allows the flow to be diverted from the inlet to one of it’s two outlets with a mechanical actuation system with levers. The two discs operate simultaneously and when one is actuated for oppening purposes, the other systematically closes.
Flange drilling can be made according to customer request or PARAVALVES standard. Face to face determines the distance between flanges and this can also be taylor-made to comply with customer project, specially when a 3-way diverter damper design need to be installed, considering every flange position, angle and disc configuration system.
The seat can be done as a swing-through disc without seat or the disc can directly make contact with a metal plate ensuring a maximum leak of 0.5%Kv value. Soft braided sealing option can also be supplied on request, providing a more tightness damper closing. For applications where a full 100% tightening is requested, an air sealing system with double parallel disc design can be made. GDT diverter damper valve can work with temperatures up to 250ºC for the carbon steel option and for temperatures up to 1100ºC if special stainless steel materials are considered for the design.

Non-conformist spirit that makes our engineering team go beyond.
At paravalves, Engineering team is able to perform Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) as well as Finite Element Analysis (FEA) for valve components and assemblies.
Every component is designed and validated by top-notch softwares by the paravalves engineering team.
Flow Characteristic Curve
Obtained by paravalves after several CFD studies
The equal percentage characteristic valve inherent curve is ussually selected for control applications because it compoensates effectively the decreasing pressure differentials as flow rate increases.
Seat configurations
Made to fit all range of applications
The wide range of seats available for our Gasport GD range allows us to cater for a wide range of applications, covering everything from the simplest to those requiring zero leakage.
Zero atmospheric leakage.
Even for gas or high temperature applications.
At paravalves Gasport GD diverter damper shaft packing system is designed to ensure full tightness to the atmosphere even for gas or high temperature applications.
Fully custom dampers
Designed to fit all your needs.
Our GD model diverter dampers are fully customizable, allowing you to choose between a wide range of available materials and actuators.
Furthermore, we can adjust the design to your line, offering not only T shaped diverters but angular options too.
One design to rule them all.
Gearbox, Electric actuator and Pneumatic actuation types are possible with Gasport GD diverter damper valves. The design allows them to be interchangeable each other even without removing the valve from the pipeline. It most cases, drilled according to ISO 5211 standard.
