Description
Valve
This disclosure relates to valves, including valves suited to subsea use, but is not limited to such use.
Background to the Disclosure
Valves are operated by an actuator system which generally involves an actuator effecting rotation or reciprocation of an actuable member. The actuable member transmits the required motion to a valve closure element (ball, plate, disc, gate, plug, etc.) to control a fluid pathway to open, close or throttle flow of fluid through the valve depending upon the particular design of valve. The actuable member is typically referred to as the valve stem. Multiple valve types are in use, but in most types the principal problems to be addressed are to prevent leakage in the valve assembly and to prolong operability of bearing surfaces of the valve to maximise service life. Butterfly valves and ball valves are examples of valve types requiring a rotational motion to operate them. Where rotational motion is used, two sets of bearing are traditionally required to deal with axial and lateral forces: one set to manage the longitudinal thrust generated by the valve upon the valve stem, and another to maintain centralisation of the valve stem.

Figure 4 illustrates a variant of the embodiment of Figures 2 and 3, with additional features as disclosed herein; and
Figure 5 illustrates a further variant of the embodiment of Figures 2 and 3, with additional features as disclosed herein.
Sub-Sea Ball Valve
In a subsea "ball” valve assembly of designed according to existing practice, as illustrated in Figure 1, a valve body 1 is mounted between flanged open bore adapters or connectors 2, 2' for fluid connection of the valve body 1 to a fluid conduit. A "ball” closure element 3 having a through bore 5 is located within a valve cavity 4 in the body 1 and trunnion-mounted in a bearing assembly 7, 7' for rotation within the body 1. A valve stem element 6 is mounted for rotation in a valve bonnet 8 and an end part 9 of the valve stem element 6 engages a recess 63 in the "ball" closure element. Such engagement of the end part 9 with the recess 63 of the ball closure element 3 allows a rotational motion [usually a quarter turn) applied to the valve stem element 6 by a suitable actuator to effect rotation of the ball closure element 3 within the body 1 and about the axis of the valve stem element 6. The rotation of the ball closure element 3 about the axis of the valve stem element 6 realigns the through bore 5 with respect to the open bores of the flanged connectors 2, 2'. Such movement of the through bore 5 relative to the open bores of the flanged connectors 2, 2' determines whether the valve is open to admit fluid flow or closed to fluid flow between the respective bores of the flanged connectors 2, 2'.
In such a valve, bearings to accommodate both longitudinal thrust upon the valve stem element 6 and lateral forces for centralising the valve stem element 6 during rotation are required. These thrust and rotational bearings are subject to wear and degradation in use, leading to shortening of effective valve service life. These bearings include additional sealing components to maintain a sufficient pressure seal around the valve stem element 6 for operational purposes.
Description of Embodiments
An embodiment of a valve suitable for use in a subsea environment, similar in principle and general construction to the valve of Figure 1, is shown in Figure 2, wherein like components share the same reference numerals, incremented by 10. Thus Fig. 2 shows a valve assembly wherein a valve body 11 is mounted between flanged open bore connectors 12, 12' for connection of the valve to a fluid conduit. A "ball" closure element 13 having a through bore 15 is located in a valve cavity 14 within the body 11 and trunnion-mounted in a bearing assembly 17, 17' for rotation within the body 1.
In this embodiment a new valve stem element 16 is provided. The stem valve element 16 has a structure which is configured to obviate the requirement for conventional stem thrust and rotational [centring) bearings, and serves both bearing and sealing functionalities in mating with a correspondingly modified valve body.
As shown in Fig. 2, a body portion 11 adjacent to the valve bonnet 18 is adapted to receive the valve stem element 16. The valve stem element 16 of this embodiment is formed to have a first width portion 20 capable of fitting through the valve bonnet 18, and a second width portion 21 which is wider and cannot pass through the valve bonnet 18.
An inner surface of the body portion 11 and a corresponding side surface of the wider width portion 21 of the stem valve element 16 are of sufficiently complementary curved shape to form bearing surfaces which are sealingly engageable to maintain a pressure seal around the stem valve element 16 in normal use of the valve. These bearing surfaces are respectively identified as a stem bearing surface 61, and a body bearing surface 62 in Fig. 2. The curvature of the respective bearing surfaces 61, 62 is such as to provide a self-centring action when the curved stem bearing surface 61 of the stem valve element 16 is presented to the curved body bearing surface 62 of the body portion 11 in assembly of the valve. The curved bearing surface 62 of the body portion 11 may be configured as a generally concave dish shape or cup receptacle to sealingly receive the curved stem bearing surface 61 of the stem valve element 16. The curved stem bearing surface 61 of the stem valve element 16 may be part spherical or part ellipsoidal as shown in Fig.2.
An end 19 of the stem valve element 16 is secured in a recess 73 in the "ball" closure element 13 to ensure that rotary motion applied through the stem valve element 16 turns the "ball" closure element in a controlled manner.
The curved stem bearing surface 61 of the stem valve element 16 may be urged into contact with the curved body bearing surface 62 of the body portion 11 by biasing means 29 located at the end 19 of the stem valve element 16. The biasing means 29 may be a mechanical component such as a cupped spring washer, disc spring or other resilient member capable of applying a thrust against the end 19 of the stem valve element 16. A Belleville spring washer is suitable for this purpose and shown in section in Fig. 2. Use of such biasing means 29 urges the stem valve element 16 and its curved stem bearing surface 61 against the curved body bearing surface 62 of the body portion 11 to form a sealing abutment even when there is no fluid pressure in the valve.
In a variant as illustrated in Fig. 4, a collar 46 is locatable upon a first, narrow width portion 420 of the stem valve element 416 and assembled therewith to hold a resilient biasing member 49 against a surface of a body portion 411. The stem valve element 416 is thereby urged upwardly relative to the surface of the body portion 411 in a typical orientation of the valve in use. The collar may be assembled from multiple parts, for example at least two parts and fixed to the stem valve element 416. The resilient biasing member 49 may be a compression spring such as a coil spring or disc spring.
In the embodiment of Fig. 4, the stem valve element 416 has a second, wider width portion 421 retained within the body portion 411. Respective cooperating bearing surfaces 461, 462 of the stem valve element 416 and the body portion 411 are ellipsoidal surfaces.
The wider width portion 421 is located towards an end 419 of the stem valve element 416 which seats in a recess 473 within a ball closure element 413 against a resilient biasing member 429 which may be a spring washer.
In any embodiment, the curved stem bearing surface of the stem valve element and the curved body bearing surface of the body portion respectively may be metal surfaces to form a metal to metal pressure seal.
Furthermore, in any embodiment, the curved stem bearing surface [61 in Fig. 2) of the stem valve element (16 in Fig. 2] and the curved body bearing surface (62 in Fig. 2) of the body portion (11 in Fig. 2) respectively may be subjected to finishing treatments and materials to reduce friction and wear, for example polishing and/or applying thin low-friction films or coatings to inhibit wear.
In a further embodiment illustrated in Fig. 5, a valve stem element 516 is formed to have a first width portion 520, which extends through a valve body 511 and a second width portion 521 which is wider and retained within the valve body 511. An edge of a curved stem bearing surface 561 of the stem valve element 516 may be formed as a flexible lip, for example configured as a thin peripheral dependent skirt 31 as illustrated in Fig. 5 to accommodate differential thermal expansion. The flexibility which may be required to accommodate thermal expansion and pressure changes may be realised by forming an annular channel 33 in a surface of the second width portion 521 which is located towards an end portion 519 of the stem valve element 516.
In embodiments of the disclosed valve the valve body forms a concave spherical part such as a part-spherical or hemispherical cup for receiving the convex curved side portion of the stem valve element which may be correspondingly spherical (ball-shaped) to mate with the concave part or hemispherical cup. The part spherical cup may extend over a substantial surface of the spherical (ball-shaped) curved side portion of the stem valve element.
In further embodiments, additional bearing surfaces equivalent to those formed by the curved side portion 21 of the stem valve element 16 and the curved inner surface of the body portion 11 may be provided at a diametrically opposed position with respect to the "ball" closure element 3 in additional components equivalent to the said curved side portion 21 of the stem valve element 16 and the curved inner surface of the body portion 11 and located in the opposite side of the valve assembly.
