Baker Hughes’ Masoneilan Camflex GR
Baker Hughes’ Masonielan Camflex valve technology has over 1.2 Million units installed worldwide in refineries, petrochemical, and chemical plants. The original Camflex design, since being introduced in 1968, has been proven to be reliable where many typical valves fail. And now, the new Camflex GR (Globe Replacement) model makes operation and maintenance even easier.
Available in six sizes, 1″/ 1.5″/ 2″/ 3″/ 4″ / 6″ in carbon or stainless steel constructions. Models rated for three classes 150 / 300 / 600 applications
With 50% fewer parts, the Camflex GR has simpler operation, easier maintenance, and lower inventory costs for spares. It also features 50% fewer potential leak paths for higher efficiency and lower emissions. It is lightweight, easy to handle, and simple to commission.
The Camflex GR is designed for direct, 1-to-1 replacement of most reciprocating valves. Its compact envelop makes it easy to install in any application, regardless of which OEM made your old valve.
Camflex GR’s rotary design has several advantages over the typical reciprocating globe valves that it replaces. At the heart of the Camflex is the double eccentric plug design. Eccentric rotating, self-aligning plug results in reliable shutoff and fewer leaks.
The eccentric action ensures no friction or contact between the plug and seat during operation. The only time the plug contacts the seat ring is when the valve closes. This ensures consistent and tight shut off. Additionally, the Camflex GR has 2x the Cv of conventional globe valves which provides exceptional turn-down, or rangeablility, to cover many process conditions.
The rotary shaft motion reduces packing friction and wear, providing tighter longterm sealing. No sliding stem results in less friction, simpler packing. The standard EF Seal provides low emission tightness. The integral body design eliminates the typical gasketed body, or bonnet joint, simplifying maintenance and removing a potential leak point. Fewer gasketed joins results in less chance for environmental issues. Direct mounting of positioners provides more accurate positioning control by eliminating intermediate linkage between the valve shaft and avoiding lost motion that could otherwise be caused by wear over time.
Most importantly, unlike traditional globe valves, the Camflex trim is designed so that only the seat ring changes for different Cv requirements. Combined with a simpler design with less packing and no gaskets, this means few parts to stock and manage., resulting in huge cost savings.
Camflex GR is available from Setpoint Integrated Solutions through the ValvFast program, meaning kits are in-stock and can be configured to meet your application needs in as little as 24-hours.
