Accurate control and reliable operation at all flow conditions

with the CCI DRAG ® disk stack
The DRAG® spray valve disk stack features a modified equal percentage trim
characteristic providing very fine temperature control. The disk stack uses
disks with more pressure letdown stages near the seat end of the trim (up to
20 stages), and fewer stages near the full-open end of the trim. This provides
critical protection of the seat ring while allowing superior temperature
control throughout stroke of the valve. Independent and isolated flow paths
are utilized to eliminate short circuits between the flow paths.

Reliable Long Term Shutoff

Figure 4: CCI 100DSV multi-path, multi-
stage trim designs are characterized to
provide optimal valve performance at all flow
conditions.
The DRAG® spray valve uses a hard seat, which resists trash cutting, and a
very high seat loading to provide reliable and repeatable long-term shutoff for
very high pressure differentials. The actuator is sized to provide a minimum
seat ring loading of 500 lbf per circumferential inch (9 kg/mm). The DRAG®
velocity control trim design protects the seat ring and plug surfaces from
cutting or pitting due to erosion.

Benefits DRAG® 100DSV Competitors

1 DRAG® Velocity Control Protects Valve Trim. Up to 20

stages used to limit trim exit velocity to 100 fps or less.
Eliminates erosion and cavitation damages.

2 Improve Heat Rate Efficiencies. The CCI spray valve

minimizes lost energy through leakage and lost
production which results in significant cost savings.

3 Reliable and Repeatable Long Term Shutoff Eliminates

Leakage. Actuator is sized to provide 500 PLI or more.
Metal seat ring is used to resist trash damage. The

damage. Eliminating spray water leakage prevents

excess cooling of main steam and conserves fuel.

4 Improve Temperature Control. Equal-percentage trim

characteristics custom-engineered to meet your plant
specifications combined with a long stroke and high
actuator resolution to improve control.

5 Reduce Maintenance Costs. Costly and frequent

maintenance procedures are eliminated by DRAG®
