Turbine Bypass Valve

Weir Valve & Control Turbine Bypass Valve

Modern power plants require advanced design steam turbine bypass valves and systems for optimal performance. These systems allow boilers and heat recovery steam generators to operate independently of the steam turbine. This allows for quick start-up, recovery after a trip and avoids noise problems associated with accidental safety valves lifting. Turbine bypass valves operate under the most severe conditions, reducing pressure by 1500-2000 psig and tempuratures from 1070 DegF to 400 DegF on a fraction of a seconds notice. The process requires a rugged valve design and an engineered systems approach. Blakeborough Controls analyses the entire application. We fit the steam pressure reducing valve with a desuperheating or spraywater injection system that matches the system water pressure(s) and available space for installation.
