Abstract
A globe valve, having a body through which a fluid circulation duct passes, the latter delimiting a fluid path with an inlet and an outlet, and a shutoff member housed inside a branch generally perpendicular to the body, this shutoff member being movable between a first end position, in which it shuts off the duct, and a second end position, in which it does not shut off the duct, wherein the duct has, on either side of the region of action of the shutoff member, a generally circular liquid circulation section, which is connected continuously, at least in the region of action of the shutoff member, to a section that is longer than it is wide, the body (2) not having an element that protrudes towards the inside of the duct.
Claims8
A globe valve, which includes a body through which a fluid circulation channel passes, which delimits a fluid path with an inlet and an outlet, as well as a shutter housed inside a branch generally perpendicular to said body, this said shutter being movable between a first extreme position in which it obturates said fluid circulation channel and a second extreme position in which it does not obturate said fluid circulation channel, wherein said fluid circulation channel has, on either side of a region of action of said shutter, a generally circular liquid circulation section, which is connected continuously, at least in said region of action of said shutter, to a section that is longer than it is wide, that is to say flattened, said body being devoid of any element protruding inwardly of said fluid circulation channel.
