The environment-friendly DN 1800 goggle valve was manufactured in the production plant of ARMATURY Group a . s . in Dolní Benešov . This goggle valve , weighing 25 tons , is intended for a metallurgical plant in India . The production stages and assembly took place according to a pre-planned schedule , followed by successful acceptance by the customer , painting to the required colour , thorough overseas packing and transportation to the port in Hamburg . From there , the goggle valve will be transported to India by ship . This seemingly simple process involves a series of operations that result in a perfect ecological product made up of thousands of parts .
The use of a goggle valve
The goggle valve is used as a safety stop valve in gas pipelines for transporting blast
The DN 1800 is ready for transport . furnace , converter , coke oven or mixed gas . The environment-friendly goggle valve consists of a closed body , two side covers , a frame with flow and shut-off plates , a hydraulic motor system with plate release accessories , an actuator to reposition the frame with the plates , and many other parts . In the closed position this valve must 100 % prevent the penetration of toxic gases into the enclosed part of the pipe for maintenance , repair or inspection . The environment-friendly ( closed ) design of the valve has the advantage over the open design in that no gas leaks into the surrounding environment during the repositioning phase of the frame and plates ( opening / closing of the valve ) and the gas remains in the body and covers . This prevents contamination of the surrounding environment .
