German miniBOOSTER valves miniBOOSTER models miniBOOSTER prices

miniBOOSTER valves are stop valves that use a diaphragm as the closing element to seal the flow passage, cut off the fluid, and separate the valve body cavity from the valve bonnet cavity. Diaphragms are commonly made of elastic, corrosion-resistant, non-permeable materials such as rubber and plastic. Valve bodies are mostly made of plastic, fiberglass, ceramic, or metal with rubber lining. They feature a simple structure, good sealing and anti-corrosion performance, and low fluid resistance. They are used for media with low pressure, low temperature, strong corrosiveness, and suspended solids. Structural forms include weir type, straight-through type, and gate plate type. Drive methods include manual, pneumatic, and electric.

miniBOOSTER valve functions

A diaphragm valve contains a flexible diaphragm or composite diaphragm inside the valve body and bonnet, with a closing member connected to the diaphragm acting as a compression device. The valve seat can be weir-shaped or formed by the pipe wall of a straight-through flow passage. The advantage of a diaphragm valve is that the operating mechanism is isolated from the media path, ensuring the purity of the working medium and preventing the medium in the pipeline from impacting the operating components. In addition, no separate sealing is required at the stem, unless used as a safety facility for controlling hazardous media. In diaphragm valves, since the working medium only contacts the diaphragm and the valve body, both of which can be made from various materials, the valve can ideally control many types of working media, especially those with chemical corrosiveness or suspended particles. The operating temperature of a diaphragm valve is usually limited by the materials used for the diaphragm and the valve body lining, with an operating temperature range of approximately -50 to 175 °C. The diaphragm valve has a simple structure, consisting mainly of three components: the valve body, the diaphragm, and the valve head assembly. The valve is easy to disassemble and repair quickly, and diaphragm replacement can be completed on-site in a short time.

miniBOOSTER valve working principle

Diaphragm valves use a corrosion-resistant lined valve body and a corrosion-resistant diaphragm to replace the valve core assembly, utilizing the movement of the diaphragm for regulation. The valve body material of diaphragm valves is cast iron, cast steel, or cast stainless steel, lined with various corrosion-resistant or wear-resistant materials; diaphragm materials include rubber and polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE). The lined diaphragm has strong corrosion resistance, suitable for regulating strongly corrosive media such as strong acids and strong alkalis. Diaphragm valves have a simple structure, low fluid resistance, and greater flow capacity than other types of valves of the same specification; they are leak-free and can be used for regulating high-viscosity media and media with suspended particles. The diaphragm isolates the medium from the upper chamber of the valve stem, so there is no packing and the medium will not leak out. However, due to limitations of the diaphragm and lining materials, pressure and temperature resistance are relatively poor, generally applicable only to nominal pressures up to 16MPa and temperatures below 150 °C. The flow characteristic of a diaphragm valve is close to quick-opening; it is approximately linear before 60% travel, and the flow change is not significant after 60%. Pneumatic diaphragm valves can be equipped with feedback signals, limiters, and positioners to meet the needs of automatic control, program control, or flow regulation. The feedback signal of pneumatic diaphragm valves uses contactless sensing technology. This product uses a diaphragm-type thrust cylinder instead of a piston cylinder, eliminating the disadvantage of piston rings being easily damaged, causing leakage and preventing the valve from opening and closing. When the air source fails, the handwheel can still be operated to open and close the valve.

miniBOOSTER valve application scenarios

A diaphragm valve is a special type of shut-off valve whose closing element is a diaphragm made of soft material, which separates the valve body cavity from the valve bonnet cavity. Due to limitations in valve body lining processes and diaphragm manufacturing processes, it is difficult to produce large valve body linings and large diaphragms. Therefore, diaphragm valves are not suitable for large pipe diameters and are generally applied in pipelines ≤ DN200. Due to limitations of diaphragm materials, diaphragm valves are suitable for low-pressure and low-temperature applications. Generally, the temperature should not exceed 180 °C. Since diaphragm valves have good anti-corrosion performance, they are mostly used in devices and pipelines for corrosive media. The applicable media and operating temperature of diaphragm valves are limited by the valve body lining material and the diaphragm material.
