Sizing The required Kv can be calculated from the following formulae, Where:

s = Steam mass flow (kg/h) = Liquid volume flow (m 3 /h)

A

g = Gas flow at standard conditions: 0 °C @ 1.013 bar a (m³/h)

4.6 150

P 1 = Upstream pressure (bar absolute) P 2 = Downstream pressure (bar absolute)

A

P 1 - P 2

c =

(pressure drop factor)

P 1 S = Specific gravity T = Absolute average gas temperature (Kelvin = °C + 273)

Calculating the Kv and selecting a suitable valve Using your maximum flowrate and smallest differential pressure (P 1 – P 2 ), calculate the required Kv from one of the above formulae. Select a valve Kv that is 30% greater than the calculated Kv. The optimum working range of the selected valve should ideally be within the range of 10 to 70% of its Kv.
