3D Printed Valve Part Helps Prevent Cavitation | The Cool Parts Show #56
Water or other fluids moving at a high flow rate through a control valve can be subject to cavitation able to damage pipes downstream. The solution was known decades ago: Divide the flow into an array of many much smaller parallel streams. Unfortunately, the geometry required to realize this effect resulted in a part that was difficult to produce — to the point that an early anti-cavitation product for ball valves was discontinued. Now, additive manufacturing has overcome this challenge. The Emerson company produces its Fisher Cavitrol Hex anti-cavitation trim in an essentially unattended process through laser powder bed fusion, and so far about 600 of these components have been installed in industrial ball valve applications.
This episode of The Cool Parts Show brought to you by Carpenter Additive.
