Comparative analysis of regulating characteristics between air-ring flow regulating valve and center butterfly valve.

In this study, a novel air-ring flow regulating valve was proposed to reduce the flow resistance caused by valve structural pressure drop in fluid transportation pipeline system. The regulating characteristics at different valve openings were analyzed by numerical method and the results were compare...
