Features: This book approaches the subject from a practical perspective, systematically and methodically exploring each chapter like peeling an onion, aiming to make the content easily understandable and allowing readers to grasp the selection, use, design, and manufacturing of control valves as needed. The book contrasts the advantages and disadvantages of rotary motion valves and linear motion valves, proposing the argument that the 20th century was the era of linear motion valves, while the 21st century belongs to rotary motion valves. Based on the "structure-function" analysis method, after introducing nine major types of control valves, the book recommends the tenth type—the full-function valve—and proposes the idea of "making control valves simpler." Through examples, the book introduces how to address complex process control scenarios, such as leakage, erosion, high-temperature medium regulation, thick slurry control, and blockage. The book presents the design, selection, use, and manufacturing of control valves in a question-and-answer format. It is divided into eleven chapters. The first six chapters discuss the structure and calculation-based selection of traditional control valves in an applied context. Chapter 7 focuses on material selection for control valves based on operating conditions. Chapter 8 introduces the necessary accessories for improving the functionality of control valves. Chapter 9 discusses special control valves designed for complex operating conditions, incorporating the author's experience in this field. Chapters 10 and 11, based on field experience, cover the inspection and adjustment, installation and use, and troubleshooting of control valves. This book is suitable for technical personnel in design institutes, research units, and control valve user units engaged in automatic control systems, as well as designers, process engineers, assemblers, and sales staff in control valve manufacturing companies. It can also serve as a reference book for relevant majors in universities and colleges.
