Butterfly valve TX3

with handwheelfor controlshut-off

The Valtek® TX3 Molten Salt triple-offset butterfly valve provides concentrated solar power (CSP) plant operators with reliable performance, tight shut-off and minimized maintenance in molten salt applications. It can withstand temperatures ranging from 260°C (500°F) to 600°C (1,112°F) in thermal energy storage for industrial processes or power generation. Leakage is eliminated by the design and construction, which includes standard live-loaded Thermiculite or hybrid packing. Superior leakage resistance results from the shutoff design and construction that reliably complies with FCI 70-2 Class V for control valve applications and API 598 for On-Off applications. Constant temperatures within the valve stem and packing region are ensured with a comprehensive solution for packing/heat tracing including integrated heating, controls, and sensors Reliable packing performance owing to materials and configuration engineered to match the customer’s specific packing load and performance requirements Minimized maintenance can be achieved with in-line maintenance (consult Flowserve engineering special
