“Somas has developed a range of metal seated butterfly / shut-off and control valves for exhaust gas applications that meet the requirements of EN 12516-2 and ASME B16.34.
Typical applications for these valves in diesel engines, gas engines and exhaust gas systems are:
waste gates, EGR, turbo shutdown, slow steaming, air bypass, gas scrubbers, heat recovery
Somas exhaust gas valves have many technical advantages.
The geometry of the disc is designed in such a way that it only comes into contact with the seal when it is fully closed. This ensures that the wear on the sealing surface is kept to a minimum and a long service life is guaranteed.
The valves have a solid seat design and are therefore resistant to clogging.
The shaft bearings are designed as standard in metal-to-metal pairs, which means that the valves can be used without any problems in high temperature applications.
All valves are supplied as standard with a graphite gland. Other materials are available.
Somas VSS / HT and MTV / HT valves are bi-directional and can therefore be installed in both directions.”
