Destination and application of the rotary valve DC type The
rotary valve is used in extraction systems, to empty the containers and
to evacuate dry dust, if the dust and gases are not aggressive and
their temperature does not exceed 60C, and in locations where this dust
can create, together with air, explosive atmospheres. Simultaneously
the rotary valve works as protective system (passive clipping system),
and its mission is effective stoppage of propagation of explosion or
fire, which may appear in extractor/ container or in collection
system. When the shaft stops, the rotary valve works as a valve and
prevents the transmission of the effect of explosion from one
space into the other (transmission of pressure wave, gas, flame and
ignition).

The stoppage should be made by appropriate systems mounted in the device inside of which the rotary valves are built in.
The rotary valve type DC consists of steel sheet housing, inside of
which there is a bearing shaft with eight partitions. Endings of the
partitions are finished with elastic material which guarantees
tightness of the rotary valve. The housing is closed by front plates
with bearing mountings.
Waste
material and dust falling down to the bottom of container goes to
partitions of the rotary valve's shaft, and while the shaft is
rotating the dust is moved to the outlet and
gravitationally poured out of the valve, and the empty cells are moved
towards inlet and filled with dust again. During the operation process
of the rotary valve the air flow is stopped and dust is moved
pressure-less. |
