    摘要: Apparatus for noise reduction in valves are disclosed herein. An example valve disclosed herein includes a valve body defining a fluid passageway between an inlet and an outlet, a plug, and a cage in the fluid passageway. The plug is disposed in the cage. The plug is moveable in the cage to control fluid flow through the fluid passageway. The cage includes an inner wall having first openings, an outer wall having second openings, the outer wall disposed coaxially around the inner wall, and an insert having third openings. The insert is disposed between the inner wall and the outer wall.

    摘要: A method of custom manufacturing a fluid pressure reduction device for use in a process control valve. The method includes creating the fluid pressure reduction device using an additive manufacturing technique, which generally includes forming a body and forming a plurality of flow paths in the body. The body has an inner wall and an outer wall spaced radially outward of the inner wall. The flow paths are formed in the body between the inner wall and the outer wall of the body. Each of the flow paths includes an inlet section formed in one of the inner and outer walls, a curved intermediate section, and an outlet section formed in the other of the inner and outer walls.

    摘要: Methods and apparatus to produce fluid control device components are related fluid control devices. An example method of producing a valve component, includes: accessing a first request from a user interface device to produce a valve component, the first request specifying first characteristics of the valve component; when the first characteristics are not associated with a first build file, comparing the first characteristics to first reference characteristics to determine if the first characteristics satisfy a threshold; if the first characteristics do not satisfy the threshold, providing feedback accessible at the user interface device to change the first characteristics to second characteristics, where the second characteristics satisfy the threshold; and when the first characteristics are associated with the first build file or when the first or second characteristics satisfy the threshold, causing, using the one or more processors, an additive manufacturing machine to produce the valve component.

    摘要: A high flow/low flow valve includes a valve body having a fluid inlet and a fluid outlet connected to one another by a fluid passageway. A valve seat is disposed in the fluid passageway. A low flow valve plug is disposed in the fluid passageway proximate valve seat, the low flow valve plug cooperating with the valve seat to control fluid flow through the valve seat. A high flow valve plug is disposed in the fluid passageway proximate valve seat, the high flow valve plug cooperating with the valve seat to control fluid flow through the valve seat. A low flow actuator is operatively connected to the low flow valve plug and a high flow actuator operatively connected to the high flow valve plug.

    摘要: A valve control assembly includes a valve body having an inlet adapted to be coupled to a source of process fluid having a first temperature, an outlet, and a fluid flow path extending between the inlet and the outlet, and a bonnet coupled to the valve body. An inlet port, an outlet port, an annular plenum, an inlet passage, and an outlet passage are integrally formed in the valve body or the bonnet. The inlet port is adapted to be coupled to source of media and the annular plenum is disposed between the inlet port and the outlet port, immediately adjacent a portion of the fluid flow path. The inlet passage directs the media from the inlet port to the annular plenum, which changes a temperature of the process fluid flowing through the fluid flow path from the first temperature to a second temperature different from the first temperature.
