A seal assembly for a valve stem comprises an external seal placed on a valve stem facing an external environment; an internal seal placed on the valve stem facing a process environment; the external and internal seals define a chamber for the containment of barrier fluid; the chamber has an inlet configured to be placed into fluid communication with a source of barrier fluid; a detector of the amount of barrier fluid; a pressurizer device for providing the chamber with a positive pressure with respect to the process environment; the pressurizer device is configured to be installed coaxially with the valve stem.

Seal assembly for a valve stem

A control valve comprising a cylindrical hollow trim defining an inner bore extending along an axis between a first opening and a second opening, the first opening defining an inlet of the valve, the trim comprising a first outer cylinder extending along the axis and comprising a first plurality of radial through holes defining an outlet, a second cylinder, housed in the first cylinder and coaxial, the second cylinder comprising a second plurality of radial through holes, the holes of the first plurality being smaller and in greater number than the holes of the second plurality, for each hole of one of the first and second cylinders the projection along a radial direction on the other of the first and second cylinders being spaced from each hole of the other of the first and second plurality a plug sized to fit inside the bore and slidably movable along the axis.

Multistage trim for control valves

A valve comprising a valve body with a fluid inlet, a fluid outlet, an inner cavity and an outer cavity at least partly surrounding the inner cavity. The outer cavity is in fluid communication with the fluid inlet and with the inner cavity and the inner cavity is in fluid communication with the fluid outlet. A flow splitter is provided, forming at least two flow passages in the outer cavity.
