Quick Closing Non-Return Valves

Overview

Swift & Secure: Self-Acting & Quick closing in less than 0.3 seconds!

Non-return valves are essential safety and performance components in steam turbine setups. They ensure the safe, efficient and controlled operation of the system by preventing backflow, regulating steam flow, and providing isolation capabilities. Quick Closing Non-Return Valves (QCNRV) are designed to prevent backflow to the turbine from extraction and bleed lines.

IndiTech’s tilting-disk type QCNRV is a specialised type of check valve known for its rapid closure and suitability for handling pulsating flows and compressible fluids. Instead of a hinged disc, this NRV uses an innovative design of a disc mounted on an eccentric shaft, which provides excellent sealing capabilities. The tilting disc ensures simultaneous regulation of flow over the disc and under the disc. This ensures dynamic balancing of the disc, enabling steady operation of the valve under all flow conditions. The disc’s conical shape and angled seat create a wedging effect during reverse flow, causing it to close rapidly and seal tightly.

IndiTech’s Series 350 is the first Tilting-Disc type QCNRV designed and manufactured in India.

Applications

Turbine Trip Protection:

QCNRVs are widely used in Power Plants for safeguarding the turbine from the backflow of steam during trips, ensuring operator safety and equipment protection.

Steam Extraction/Bleed Line:

QCNRVs are installed in Turbine Extraction/Bleed lines and help protect personnel and turbine equipment from potential steam backflow incidents.

Cold Reheat Line:

Cold reheat lines carry high-pressure, high-temperature steam back to the turbine after it has passed through an intermediate stage. QCNRVs guard against unforeseen events like sudden load rejections or trips that can cause reverse flow in the reheat line, potentially damaging the turbine.
