Title Submerged Operation of a Fixed-Cone valve with Baffled Hood
Creator Prettyman, Barry Jacob Johnson, Michael C. Sharp, Zachary B.
Description The use of fixed-cone valves (FCV) to dissipate energy has proven to be very effective for medium to high heads. Because of the large area required for energy dissipation through dispersion, a hood or other structure may be used to contain the spray, however, the contained jet concentrates the energy. Another way to contain the conical jet is to submerge the FCV. Operating an FCV under submerged conditions is often discouraged because of the possibility of cavitation and vibration. Operation...
