General Introduction
Butterfly valves are widly used valves in oil immersed transformers and gas insulated transformers.
Due to their simple structure, easy installation, easy operation, small space occupation, and great cost
advantages, they are usually the first - choice valves for the radiator pipes of oil immersed transformers.
Common butterfly valves for transformer radiator pipes are divided into two types. One is a metal to metal
seated butterfly valve with a symmetrical mid- line structure and all-metal sealing. The other is a single-
eccentric structure butterfly valve with a rubber sealing ring installed on the butterfly plate. The two types of
butterfly valves have their own characteristics.
For the metal to metal seated butterfly valve, due to its symmetrical mid - line structure and the metal disc
of the butterfly plate, the resistance coefficient is small, and the transformer oil can pass through smoothly.
Since its passage is all - metal sealed, there is no need to worry about the aging problem of the rubber
sealing ring, and its service life can be as long as several decades. However, because its sealing method
is metal - to - metal sealing and it adopts a mid - line structure, it is difficult for this butterfly valve to achieve
zero leakage. There are relatively lenient maximum allowable leakage standards in the BS/EN50216 - 8
standard for reference.
The single - eccentric soft - seal butterfly valve, also known as the vacuum butterfly valve, can achieve
complete zero leakage and even vacuum sealing because there is an oil - resistant rubber sealing ring on
the butterfly plate. Its weakness is the problem of sealing failure caused by the aging of the rubber sealing
ring on the butterfly plate after many years. Our company has been continuously conducting research and
development and experiments, optimizing the structure and screening out high - performance seals through
strict tests such as hot transformer oil tests and UV aging tests on materials.

Vacuum tight radiator butterfly valve is very different from metal to metal seated radiator butterfly valves. the structure is
valve shaft and disc offset,that means the disc is located on onside of the shaft.and there is a rubber sealing ring on the
disc. this disc rubber sealing ring makes the valve disc sealing can be vacuum tight. due to rubber seals always have to
take aging issue into consideration, our design have take replaceable rubber sealing parts into consideration, so when
the rubber seals have aging problem after many years of using, users can replace the rubber seals on site. on one hand
it can be save cost for the user, on the other hand, replace the sealing parts is easier and time saving when compare
with replace new valves.

Radiator Butterfly Valve Series
Most of the time the radiator Butterfly Valve been installed between transformer tank flange and radiator flange,
and there are 2 rubber gaskets on both side of the radiator butterfly valve. Rubber gaskets have good sealing
property, but aging issue always a problem for transformer industry. the hot transformer oil, UV light (sunshine),
Ozone(trioxygen),rubber compress or other enviroment issues always cause aging of the rubber seals. Every time
when transformer need repare or need replace radiators, the valve shall be shut off. but if the rubber gasket between
transformer tank flange and the radiator butterfly valve have problem of leakage, it will be very difficult to replace due to
the transformer tank is full of transformer oil. Welding type radiator butterfly valve will avoid this problem. welding type
radiator butterfly valve is connected to transformer tank by a tube and sealed by welding. Perma valves supply welding
type radiator butterfly valves for both metal to metal seated and vacuum tight.

Corrosive and aging issues are the most common problems for radiator butterfly valves. Perma pay great attention
to solve these problems, and most important is, we always seeking economic solutions. we provide the products with
reliable quality as well as competitive costs.
Whether in coastal areas or offshore regions, the corrosion of metal equipment by salt spray is inevitable. Therefore,
we have developed corrosion resistant butterfly valve products for the marine salt corrosion environment.We subject
the products to special treatments to enable them to remain stable in a salt spray environment for a long time. For the
treated products, different treatment methods can respectively pass the neutral salt spray test for 1000 to 1500 hours.
Normally when the products for marine enviroment, the first choice will be stainless steel and bronze. these materials
have good corrosion resistant property , but these materials also means higher costs . Perma developed corrosion
resistant radiator butterfly valves with steel valve body, and the valve body with Hot dip galvanized treatment or with
Dacromet treated, then the surface coated with fusion bonded polyurethane, and then add a salt spray resistant and
UV resistant Fluorocarbon paiting as top coating. with such treatment, the valve with very good corrosion resistant in
matine enviroment.
