Universal Silencers

Universal HV Series vent silencers effectively silence high-velocity air, steam, and gas vents and blowdowns to atmosphere where sonic or critical conditions exist in the valve. Typical applications include: steam boiler relief valves superheater header relief valves boiler startup and purge high-pressure air vents natural gas blowdowns switch valves compressor blowoffs autoclaves steam ejectors. Vent and blowdown silencers are seldom a simple catalog selection. Usually, the purchaser provides detailed specifications and a system description that enables Universal to design a custom solution. An even easier way is to simply send the valve manufacturer's data sheet for a vent to Universal and the experienced sales staff will recommend a silencer best suited for the application.

Design V260 
The Design V260 is a full bore pipeline control valve designed for optimized pressure and flow control for ANSI 300 and 600 applications. An integral drilled attenuator controls noise and vibration from high-pressure drop liquids and gases. The splined shaft connection to the actuator eliminates lost motion allowing for precise control. The Design V260A with Aerodome attenuator, V260B with Hydrodome, and V260C Ball Control Valves combine the efficiency of a rotary valve with the energy-dissipating capability of a special trim to provide improved performance for demanding capabilities. The valve is available with single, dual or dual block-and-speed seal options. The Design V260 full-bore ball valve is available with composition or metal seals, and process type stem packing for improved life. The preferred actuator for Design V260 is the 1061. The Bettis Scotch Yoke actuator is used when spring return capability is needed.
| Typical Application: | Hydrocarbon: LP Steam to Condenser, Crude Feed Valve, Compressor Recycle, Gas transmission, Gas to Flare |

Dirty Service Anti-Cavitation Trim (DST)
Dirty Service Trim (DST) is a multi-stage (2, 3, 4, or 6 stage) anti-cavitation trim used with a variety of control valves. It is used in severe services where the fluid may have entrained particulate that could plug the passages in or cause erosion damage to conventional anti-cavitation trims. DST is frequently used in high pressure drop applications up to 4000 psi in the chemical, refining, oil and gas production, and power industries.
| Typical Application: | Hydrocarbon: CHPS Sour Water letdown, Produced Water injection, Hot High pressure separator, Cold high pressure separator, charge pump spillback, transfer pump, pump recirculation, vacuum tower bottoms Power: Boiler Feedpump Recirculation, Condensate Pump Recirculation |
