- Abstract
- The eccentric check butterfly valve is a butterfly valve that has an eccentric rotating axis. It is not only used as a butterfly valve to control the flowrate or pressure, but also as a check valve to prevent backward flow. A new design process is proposed for designing the valve. First, an optimization problem with a characteristic function is formulated to determine the amount of eccentricity. The characteristic function to be minimized is defined for the flow characteristics. Second, the waterhammer pressure of the valve disc is calculated by waterhammer analysis when the flow stops suddenly. Structural analysis is carried out to evaluate the waterhammer pressure of the valve disc and structural safety. Structural optimization is performed considering the structural safety and the flow characteristics. The process of structural optimization has two steps: topology optimization and shape optimization. Mass distribution of the disc housing is determined using topology optimization. Since topology optimization does not give the final dimensions, shape optimization is utilized to determine the details based on the results of topology optimization. A light design is derived to satisfy the structural safety and the flow characteristics.
