Flowmeter Control Valve
Pump, valve: sizing, placement
Flowmeter: Type, range
Right order: Pump, flowmeter, valve
Important element: valve selection
Prof. Cesar de Prada, ISA, UVA 4
Sizing From a design point of view, control valves with a large Cv should be chosen, as they present a lower pressure drops, allowing the use of smaller pumps. Nevertheless, the use of smaller control valves gives wider flow changes making the process more controllable.

Flow: qs = 100 gpm Pressure drop in the line ∆pL = 40 psi Total Pressure difference ∆p0 = -150 psi density = 1 desired valve opening = 50%

Sometimes, in order to guarantee a minimum flow through the pump, an extra flow loop is added. When w > Fmin the recirculation valve is closed, but if w < Fmin then the extra flow loop opens the recycle to maintain the required flow

FC w u
When the flow is high, instead of control valves, variable speed pumps are a sensible alternative that allows to save energy. A frequency converter (o similar device) connected to the pump asynchronous motor is required
