Abstract

Large diameter wedge gate valves are commonly used in petroleum and chemical pipeline systems, where they endure a coupled load of dynamic pressure from the medium and thermal loads. This coupled load not only exacerbates the structural deformation of the valve but also increases the friction wear between the valve stem and the valve cover. Additionally, it may affect the fluid flow pattern, and, in severe cases, may induce flow-induced vibration, leading to valve stem fracture issues. Aiming at the problem of valve stem fracture in the practical engineering application of DN1 200 mm large-caliber gate valve, this paper uses the process discrete analysis method to divide the position of multi-valve plate, adopts ANSYS numerical simulation technology to visualize the flow characteristics of flow field in the gate valve, and employs Fourier signal analysis method to reveal the pressure pulsation response in fluid domain. Then, the modal analysis and harmonic response analysis of the valve pipeline flow system are carried out, and the resonance characteristics of valve stem and gate plate with multi-physical field coupling under specific stroke are studied. The results show that, when the gate valve opens/closes and the stroke is small, the large Karman vortex street and backflow phenomenon are generated due to the disturbance of the gate plate after the valve, the fluid pressure pulsation increases and the flow condition is disordered, which induces the valve pipeline flow system to produce a large common amplitude value, resulting in the fracture of the valve stem. Therefore, this paper proposes and verifies that the addition of expansion pipe can alleviate the vortex and backflow behind the valve, reduce the pressure pulsation and avoid the flow-induced resonance. Qualitative and quantitative analyses are finally performed to determine the expansion pipe size to weaken the fluid pressure pulsation and the common amplitude value. The comparative study shows that the vibration reduction effect is the best when the diameter of the expansion pipe is 1.3 times that of the pipe (1 560 mm) and when the length of the expansion pipe equals the diameter of the pipe (1 200 mm). The obtained results have certain guiding significance for the vibration reduction optimization research of large-caliber gate valves.
