Noise is the result of energy dissipation in the control valve.

Types of Control Valves Noise

Types of Control Valves Noise

The major sources of control valve noise are

  1. Mechanical vibration of components
  2. Hydrodynamic noise
  3. Aerodynamic noise

Mechanical Noise

Vibration of valve components is a result of random pressure fluctuations within the valve body and/or fluid impingement upon the movable or flexible parts.

Noise that is a by-product of vibration of valve components is usually of a secondary concern and may even be beneficial since it warns that conditions exist which could produce valve failure.

Mechanical vibration has for the most part been eliminated by improved valve design and is generally considered a structural problem rather than a noise problem.

Hydrodynamic Noise

The major source of hydrodynamic noise (i.e., noise resulting from liquid flow) is cavitation which is caused by implosion of vapor bubbles formed in the cavitation process.

Noise is produced by the energy dissipation of the imploding bubbles. Noise produced by cavitation in a valve has a broad frequency range, however, it can have appreciable energy at frequencies below 600 Hz.

Cavitation noise is often described as a rattling sound similar to that which would be anticipated if gravel were in the fluid stream.

Aerodynamic Noise

The major source of aerodynamic valve noise (i.e., noise resulting from gas flow) is a byproduct of a turbulent gas stream.

A control valve controls gas flow by converting potential (pressure) energy into turbulence. Most of the energy is converted into heat; however, a small portion of this energy is converted into sound.

    Hello sir.
    Am complaining about a boiler(heating water furnace) not starting on gas mode.
    The following troubleshooting has been carried out with no positive results.
    1 Controller has been replaced with a new one
    2 The control valve on the Gas line has been simulated using 4-20ma signal generator.
    3 started with liquid(diesel oil) and transitted to Gas and no result
    4 Statr up as been done both manually and via ICSS

    Please your contribution will be acknowlegde

    Thanks
