Fisherr Dirty Service Anti-Cavitation Trim (DST)

Fisher Dirty Service Trim (DST) is a multi-stage, anti-cavitation control valve trim for use in services where the fluid may have entrained particulate that could plug the passages, or cause erosion damage to conventional anti-cavitation trims. DST is frequently used in high pressure drop applications up to 4200 psid in the chemical, refining, oil and gas production, and power industries.

Features

Cavitation Control2-, 3-, 4-, 5-, or 6-stage DST used in a valve properly selected for flow conditions can eliminate cavitation and associated damage and noise. VersatilityAvailable in globe and angle valves, flow down (figure 2) or flow up (figure 3), from NPS 1 to 16 having weld-end or flanged-end connections. Can be used in easy-et, EH, EHA, EW, HP, and HPA valves. Long Trim LifeThis trim concept uses a combined axial and radial flow that features large, open flow paths and decreased clearance flow erosion. Flexibility In many cases DST can be retrofitted to replace Cav III trims that are currently in service. DST can pass 1/4 to 3/4 inch particles without plugging. Easy MaintenanceIn-line trim removal allows inspection of parts without taking the valve body out of the pipeline. Sour Service CapabilityMaterials are available for applications handling sour fluids. Please contact your local Emerson Process Management sales office for additional information.

Trim MaterialsTypical trim materials include S17400 cages, S44004 valve plug and seat, S31600/ENC/CoCr-A cages with S31600/CoCr-A valve plug and seat, or S32550/ENC/CoCr-A cages with S32550/CoCr-A valve plug and seat. Other materials are available to satisfy application requirements. ShutoffDST also features a protected seat design where the shutoff function of the valve is separate from the throttling areas of the trim. High-Temperature Class V ShutoffUse of the metal C-seal permits Class V shutoff above 316_C (600_F).

are not worn away by throttling control action, (valve must always be throttled above the min Cv) resulting in extended shutoff capabilities. In conventional staged-trim designs, cavitation usually does not exist until the final stage. Figure 1 illustrates why this happens. As shown, the greater the pressure drop through the final stage, the lower the vena contracta pressure (Pvc). If Pvc is less than or equal to Pv, and P2 is greater than Pv, then cavitation will result. The DST valve avoids this by means of its unique expanding flow area design. Each of the stages has a successively larger flow area. The result is a very efficient operation because more than 90 percent of the overall pressure drop is taken in the stages prior to the final stage where there is little danger of bubble formation. Consequently, a relatively low inlet pressure to the final stage is achieved. Figure 1 also compares the pressure drop pattern through the four stages in the expanding area DST design with a pattern representing a six-stage trim design with each stage taking an equal portion of the total pressure drop. As can be seen, the inlet pressure to the last stage of DST trim is always less than the inlet pressure to the sixth stage of an equal-drop cage. Therefore the Pvc of the DST cage remains higher than the Pvc of an equal-drop cage. If the pressure drops were all equivalent to that of the last stage in DST trim, 11 stages would be required in the equal-drop trim.

Principle of Operation
DST provides cavitation control for applications with entrained particulate that could potentially plug the inlet passages or cause severe erosion damage to conventional anticavitation trim. The DST design uses a combined axial and radial flow path that features large openings allowing particulate up to 3/4 inches in diameter to pass through the valve. Due to the need for tight shutoff, the multi-stage design incorporates a protected seating surface that separates the shutoff and the throttling locations. All significant pressure drops are taken downstream of the seating surface. As a result, the seating surfaces

Availability
DST trim is available in numerous body designs and pressure classes. Table 1 shows the pressure drop limits for each design relative to the number of stages used. Table 3 shows the different valve constructions that DST can be used in. It also shows typical min and max Cv values each valve can achieve. Any deviation from the sizes listed in table 3, or temperatures in table 2, will result in different Cv limitations. Please contact your Emerson Process Management sales office for any requests that do not fall within these ranges.

flow for the first 10-15% travel. Special characterizations may be possible, including special low minimum Cv designs. Contact your Emerson Process Management sales office for assistance.

Valve Sizing Guidelines

Sizing procedures from Catalog 12 or Fisher Specification Manager can be used to size DST control valves. Noise calculations are best performed by using Fisher Specification Manager. The multi-stage configuration of the DST design reduces valve trim noise significantly. Select CAV III 2-Stage as the valve type in Fisher Specification Manager to perform the noise prediction calculation.

Trim A: Trim A is the typical trim used with carbon steel and alloy steel valve bodies. It can generally be used in severe service applications up to 316_C (600_F). Higher temperature can be achieved with alternate trim parts. Contact your Emerson Process Management sales office for higher temperature requirements. Typical applications for Trim A include boiler feedwater, water, non-sour hydrocarbons, and other non-sour liquids. Trim B: Trim B is the typical trim used with stainless steel valve bodies. It can generally be used in severe service applications up to 316_C (600_F). Higher temperatures can be achieved with alternate trim parts. Contact your Emerson Process Management sales office for higher temperature requirements. Typical applications for Trim B include produced water, water, sour hydrocarbons, and other sour liquids. Not for use with boiler feedwater. Trim C: Trim C can commonly be seen in carbon steel and Duplex SST valve bodies. This trim is most commonly used in sea water applications, produced water, and other offshore crude oil applications.
