FloWing
Eccentric Rotary Control Valve (Flange type)
Model VFR
OVERVIEW
The eccentric rotary control valve, “FloWing”
(model VFR), consists of a straight-through
valve body with minimal flow resistance and an
open yoke plug with a wing that rotates eccentri-
cally. The FloWing is suitable for applications
requiring a large flow capacity and wide range-
ability, and for the control of those slurry fluids
susceptible to clogging.
Also, the model VFR is able to control the
occurrence of cavitation when the liquid is
decompressed with high pressure reduction and
can decrease the level of noise and vibration.
The model VFR can effectively decompress the
liquid by inserting a perforated plate (anti-cavi-
tation plate) into the main body outlet side of the
valve. Therefore, cold and warm water with a
low or medium pressure line or process liquid
Bonnet
can be controlled even with a Kc value* over
Integral body type (-60 to +350°C)
0.55. Furthermore, for the anti-cavitation plate,
there are two types: the built-in type and the Gland type
Bolted gland
combined external type (model HRL).
Note) *: Please refer to selection guide for the anti- Packing/grease
cavitation specification. • Without grease….PTFE-inserted asbestos yarn
• With grease………Asbestos yarn or other packing

Selection guide for the anti-cavitation specifications

1. Cavitation number (Kc value) will be calculated according to the operation condition.
The anti-cavitation specification is recommended (select the specification) if the calculated Kc value is over 0.55. It is
not applicable for compressible fluid (gas/steam).
Kc = ∆P / (P1 - Pv) P1: Valve primary side pressure
P2: Valve secondary side pressure
Pv: Saturated vapor pressure of fluid according to inflow side temp. condition
∆P = P1 - P2: Valve differential pressure
2. Noise control efficiency of the anti-cavitation type.
The figure below shows differences in the noise occurring based on the structures of the standard type and anti-cavita-
tion type model VFR. Noise that occurs when controlling the flow differs depending on the structures of the valve
body and inner valve. The anti-cavitation type model has a maximum noise suppression of 7 dBA.
