Embodiment Construction
[0040] The exemplary valve trims shown and described herein provide multi-stage cavitation control and noise reduction utilizing stacked or nested flow channels that provide maximum flow area through the valve trim. The valve trim has multiple flow channels, each flow channel has multiple converging nozzles and rapidly expanding pressure drop (expansion) chambers, and stacks multiple stages of pressure drop chambers in adjacent flow channels as efficiently as possible, This allows the flow area through the trim to be maximized, giving the trim a higher flow capacity while still attenuating noise and cavitation.
[0041] In the examples shown herein, in order to efficiently stack or nest the flow channels, each flow channel has an octagonal shape and converges into a pressure drop chamber with a throat of square cross-section. The number of converging and diverging stages in the trim can vary depending on the total pressure drop and flow required. The arrangement of octagonal ...
