Example Application #1
Power Plant Station with Globe Style Control Valve
(4” & 6” Globe - 2” Start-up/Trimmer Run)
(8” & 10” Globe - 3” Start-up/Trimmer Run)
4”, 6”, 8” and 10” Globe Valves require assistance from a Low
Flow/Trimmer Run.
A Low Flow/Trimmer Run is used for the start of power plants.
It is also used in handling small variations in the load from
power plants.
For this example, the typical Low Flow/Trimmer Run setup using
RedQ™ Flexflo 900TEs is shown. Here the monitor regulator is a
RedQ™ Flexflo, however, in the case of ΔP < 50 psig (345 kPa) the
monitor regulator will be a Globe valve.
