Alfa Laval Unique SSV Manually Operated/Manually Regulating
The Unique Single Seat valve meets the highest demands of your process in terms of hygiene and safety. It is built on a well-proven platform, from an installed base of more than one million valves.
Product Description
Working principle
The manual regulated Unique Single Seat Valve is a regulating valve used for manual control of pressure and flow. The valves permit gradual opening and the few and simple moving parts result in very reliable valves easy to dismantle. The plug can be fixed in the adjusted position with a lock screw. The valve is based on the modular platform of the Unique Single Seat Valve.
Standard Design
The manual operated valve can easily be converted to a pneumatic operated valve by replacing the crank mechanism with an actuator. The other parts are identical.

Kv-Factors
* optional
Kv = m3/h at a pressure drop of 1 bar.
For other pressure drops than 1 bar the flow can be calculated with the following formula:
Q = Kv x √∆p
Where
Q = Flow in m3/h.
Kv = See above.
∆ p = Pressure drop in bar over the valve.
Example:
Plug Kv 75
Q to be calculated at ∆p = 2 bar:
Q = 75 x √2 = 106 m3/h
or at 50% stroke:
Q = 0.5 x 75 x √2 = 53 m3/h
Pressure drop/capacity diagram:
The plugs have linear characteristics. This means that a certain amount of throttling, by reducing the stroke, results in a proportional reduction of the flow if the pressure drop remains unchanged.
