QUADAX DESIGN PRINCIPLES
With the new valve series Quadax, the müller co-ax group is expanding the range of products of valves, especially with larger sizes. The unique design, a quadruple (four offset) design and a new manufacturing technology, Quadax meets the highest tightness requirements, even under extreme temperature conditions ranging from -450 °F to +1,500 °F and up to 72″ size.
THE FOURTH OFFSET
The Quadax four-offset butterfly valve is a patented design butterfly valve with all the qualities of the proven triple offset butterfly valves with unique features that offer significant advantages:
- Less wear
- Lower torque
- Higher Cv
- Unique seal options
Quadax utilizes a patented seal design that results in a sealing surface that is ROUND. The benefits of a round seal are many, giving us significant advantages over triple offset valves. Offset 4: The cone shape is stretched to an ellipse. The disc seal made to the shape of a slice from this elliptical cone, results in a seal that is perfectly round. The cone shape is stretched to an ellipse. The disc seal made to the shape of a slice from this elliptical cone, results in a seal that is perfectly round.
Quadax valves offer many advantages over competing valves. The fully enclosed disc design means less shaft deflection. The option of an all-metal laminated seal ring allows operation in oxygen applications where graphite is not permissible. The all-metal laminated seal ring is also well suited for applications in which wet steam or entrained particles are moving at high velocity. Quadax is the only manufacturer to offer the options of laminated disc seals, a self-energized Inconel o-ring seal.
Quadax valves offer zero leakage even in extreme hot or cold conditions, and are resistant to solids and dirt. Quadax meets the needs of many applications, whether the requirement is an on/off valve, modulating valve, manual operated or automated. Up to 72” sizes and pressure classes of to 1500# are available.
