Axial Flow Control Valves Manufacturers

Axial flow control valves or grid valves are appropriate for low-pressure applications and high volume flows and is available with a relatively short span. The low-pressure end, which is the drive end is a turning (barring) gear used to rotate the shaft when the turbine is cooling down. These turning devices are often utilized on high inlet temperature turbines over 850 degF (455 deg C) and when the bearing span is over 150 inches (3810 mm).
