Upgraded Features
The highlight of this valve series is the Forbes Marshall ARCA-
double-life trim (quick-changeable trim combination) with the
option of a double-side use by reversing the seat ring. Because of
its simple geometry, the valve seat can be economically produced
in different materials with or without soft sealing. For soft seating,
the PTFE-element is flexibly supported by an additional Elastomer
O-Ring located in the seat ring. The additional metal-to-metal
sealing of plug and seat ring ensures that the PTFE-disc suitable
for double sided use is not plastically deformed by excessive loads.

The difference between the common screwed-in seat ring and this
unique quick-changeable trim combination, shown in the figures
hereinafter, is because of the principle of retaining and sealing the
seat ring in the valve body. With a screwed-in seat ring, the sealing
between seat and valve body is provided by the metal-to-metal
contact of two conical faces.

The conical counter-face in the valve body has a slightly different

angle so that there is only a theoretical circumferential line contact.
The required torque to screw-in the seat ring is individually different
depending on the construction and the operating conditions. With
the ECOTROL® valve series, the seat sealing is purely axial and
achieved by the method of initial compression.

The compression of the sealing elements (6, 11) is limited by the

precisely sized recess in the body for containment of the flat
gasket. This limits the gasket’s compressive loading and
guarantees a perfect alignment between the sealing surfaces of
plug and seat ring.

The self-aligning seat ring (10) is held by the retaining cage (9). The
tightness is achieved by transferring a portion of the bonnet-to-
body bolting force via the retaining cage to the seat ring. The valve
body (12), retaining cage, and seat ring are manufactured on
special CNC-machining centres to meet the stringent tolerance of
each part. This guarantees the required compression of the sealing
elements. Excellent stem guiding is performed by two special guide
bushings (4, 8) located as far as possible from each other.

"New”- the standard spring energised stem seal configuration

includes a PTFE-V-ring packing set (5) with an additional micro-
sealing element and wiper ring (3). The PTFE-V-ring packing set is
pre-loaded with a stainless steel spring and pressed against the
valve stem and the bonnet insert (7). The packing set acts as
primary sealing and as a wiper. The valve stem is guided at two
locations right before and behind the stem sealing (5). Besides, the
extremely reliable sealing performance even under varying
operating temperatures, the stem sealing provides minimised
static and sliding friction forces in comparison to conventional
stuffing box packing. Part No. Name

Stem Sealing

Depending on the operating conditions, the stem sealing consists of a special sealing configuration to ensure lowest
fugitive emission and minimised friction. The stem and the packing bore provide a super finished surface manufactured
by the so called roller burnishing process. This process compresses the surface and increases its hardness.

The Standard Maintenance-free PTFE-V-ring Packing with a Micro-sealing

Element

To guarantee sealing performance at very low pressures, the PTFE-V-ring packing set
is preloaded by a corrosion resistant spring. In a normal operation the sealing lips are
pressed against the stem and the packing bore relative to the fluid pressure (pressure
energised). To resist the internal pressure resulting from alternating operating
conditions the V-Ring set is made of different compounds. The outer packing consists
of PTFE with a graphite filling and the centre ring is made of pure PTFE.

The bottom base ring in the V-Ring set acts as a wiper and just allows a small amount
of fluid to reach the micro-sealing element. This final sealing element is made of a
special elastomer material. Its distance from the top wiper ring is equal to the
maximum stroke length. While the valve remains in open position, dirt or any kind of
stain may accumulate on the stem part right above the top wiper ring. When the stem
moves to the closed position some stain may pass the wiper ring, however, it will never
approach the micro-sealing element and cause this element to fail.

Graphite Stuffing Box

A reliable and safe packing assembly requires a homogeneous compression of the

entire set of graphite packing. The screwed stuffing box transfers the compressive
load to each packing in the stuffing box. This is similar to the hydro- static principle of
pressure distribution in a fluid. To achieve a steady homogeneous compression of all
packing, the lower rings must be compressed more than the upper ones during
assembly. To realise this, the patented ARCA-OPTIPRESS pre-loading device,
activated by the actuator, is recommended.

If the packing loading is simply done by tightening the screwed stuffing box there is a
risk of an unequal compression of each packing. In such a case, the upper rings are
compressed more than the lower ones due to frictional forces. This leads to an
unfavourable non-homogeneous compression of each ring. Since only the top
packing seals tightly, it comes to an early leakage in service and the torque demand
also increases. As a consequence, the torque transferred from the screwed stuffing
box must be applied with care, so that the packing sealing becomes effective, while the
hysteresis does not become too high.

Bellows Seal Bonnet

Hermetically sealing bellows are available for process fluids when no stem leakage
can be tolerated (eg toxic fluids). The pressure-proof and elastic stainless steel
bellows is tightly seal-welded to the valve stem and the upper adapter ring. For safety
reasons, the construction includes a standard stem sealing as back-up in case of a
bellows failure. Between bellows and packing a tapped hole with a plug screw is
optionally supplied, either to be used as leak detection, bleed-off, or for inserting a
blocking gas.

The voluminous bellows housing provides a The voluminous bellows housing

provides a reasonable flow velocity around the bellows and, therefore, reduces the
susceptibility of the bellows against crystallising fluids or polymers. The design is
equipped with a built-in twist protection that safely keeps the torque caused either by
fluid forces or by improper handling away from the bellows, a guarantee against
sudden bellows failure and the resulting shutdown and repair costs. Of course, the
Forbes Marshall ARCA bellows sealing is in full compliance with IS015848.
Stem Sealing

Wear Resistant Bushing

To prevent galvanic corrosion between the bonnet stuffing box (carbon steel) and the
packing (graphite), all bonnets of valves larger than DN 50 (NPS 2") offer a special
treated stainless steel bushing. For valves equal or less than DN 50, the bonnet is
always made of stainless steel.

The bushing with a straight through bore allows a super finish of the surface which
ensures perfect sealing between packing or sealing ring and bushing. The stainless
steel bushing avoids or minimises any corrosion and spoiling in the vicinity of the
sealing.

Bonnet Extension for Cryogenic Service

The cross sectional drawing shows the principle design of the newly developed
ECOTROL® control valve for cryogenic service. The valve plug and stem extension
are double guided. The bottom guiding is located right below the valve seat. This
guarantees a reliable sealing performance, a vibration free guiding of the plug, and an
easy replacement of the guide bushing. Every part that is subject to wear can be
individually replaced. The seat is axially restrained by the retaining cage and the top
flange.

The bonnet extension prevents icing of the packing area. The thin walls of the
insulation column and of the stem extension allow only a very low conductive heat
flow. In addition, the stem extension pipe is filled with perlite to reduce convective heat
loss to a minimum. The bonnet extension length is based on customer requirements.

All cryogenic valves, apart from Forbes Marshall ARCA's standard valves, are
assembled in a clean-room environment. Here, the valves undergo a thorough
cleaning process in a subsonic bath followed by a complete dehydration in an air
circulating dryer.

PED Top Flange Design (8C1)

To be in compliance with the European Pressure Equipment Directive (PED) the

valve's top flange and actuator yoke (material: austenitic stainless steel) are made of
two individual parts. The top flange is permanently attached to the body and untying is
unnecessary for dismounting the actuator.
Trim Styles

Parabolic Plug (Standard)

Metal-seated quick-changeable trim combination
Insensitive to impurities with low cavitation design
Fast and easy to produce due to its rotational symmetry

Parabolic Plug with Soft Sealing and Secondary Metal-to-metal Sealing

Soft-seated quick-changeable trim combination, the PTFE-soft sealing (for

unrestricted use on both sides) is flexibly supported by an additional Elastomer
O-Ring. The additional metal-to- metal sealing of plug and seat ring ensures that the
PTFE of plug and seat ring ensures that the PTFE disc is not plastically deformed by
excessive loads when the plug reaches its final closed position.

Parabolic Plug Double-guided

Metal-seated quick-changeable trim combination with top and bottom guiding.
This double guiding construction stabilizes stem and plug over the full travel range.
Therefore, it is recommended for high pressure drop applications.
The additional guiding is located right below the seat ring and can be easily replaced.
Most conventional body designs with top and bottom guided trim have a bolted bottom
flange which requires an extra body gasket plus the risk of additional external leakage.
The ECOTROL® one-piece body design eliminates this problem and ensures
optimum tightness.

Perforated Plug / Perforated Low Noise Cage

Metal-seated quick-changeable trim combination, particularly effective for liquids and

compressible fluids at high pressure drop ratios. Liquid flow can cause erosion by
cavitation. The flow, directed through the holes of the trim, is divided into numerous
jets of cavitating liquid.

In the centre of the cage, the jets impact and the vapour bubbles collapse. Here, they
do not cause any damage to the valve internals and the noise level is also
considerably reduced. For more noise abatement, a perforated low noise cage is
available for all trim designs.

Balanced Trim

Valves with balanced trims require much lower control forces than valves without
balancing. As sealing elements we offer:

Elastomer quadrings with PTFE support
Pure graphite

The position of the 3-stage valve plug determines the free area between the valve
Seats and plugs and hence the pressure drop or flow rate through the valve. The
pressure drop occurs in stages so that critical operating conditions like cavitation,
excessive wear and high noise emissions are avoided. Additionally, the plug stem is
either top or dual guided for added stability and to limit vibrations.

Diaphragm Actuator (MF Series)

Description
This is a pneumatically operated multi-spring diaphragm actuator of the new
generation. The actuator is easily field reversible without the need of disassembly.
The instrument air supply between positioner and actuator is attained through bores
inside the yoke providing more reliability in comparison to conventional designs. This
method ensures a safe air supply to the actuator and enormously simplifies the
positioner mounting. Furthermore, the combination with the positioner provides the
option of a permanent ventilation of the spring case by clean exhaust instrument air.

During operation, there is a minimal overpressure against atmosphere on the rear of

the diaphragm plate (spring chamber). This guarantees that during stroke movement
no ambient air can be sucked into the spring chamber. This protects the essential
inner parts against aggressive atmosphere (like sea air).
