Utility Model Patent Certificate for Eqobrush Swing-Box Reversal Valve Invention Granted to WATCO Group

REVERSAL VALVE IS A COMPONENT OF EQOBRUSH SYSTEM THAT KEEPS TUBES OF HE CLEAN

EQOBRUSH, Automatic tube cleaning system for Shell and Tube Heat Exchangers such as chiller or power plant condensers or industrial heat exchangers (all will be included in the acronym HE for Heat Exchanger), needs a reversal valve to reverse the water flow to HE on a regular basis.

Why Plug Valves Needed Improvement

Commonly used are the so-called plug valves.

Plug Valves are quarter-turn valves used to control fluid flow through a pipe. A plug valve constricts flow using a ported plug that swivels in the flow stream to constrict or allow flow.

Shortcomings of Plug Valves

Water Leakage / Cross-Over

Usually PlugValves come with a design shortcoming of water leakage from cold water into the hot water stream. This is caused by the pressure difference in the 2 sides of the valve. The result of this water leakage or water bypass (which we refer to as cross-over) is that the HE receives less cold water and it reduces the cooling capacity of the HE.

High Pressure Drop

The plug valves also cause a high pressure drop over the valve due to complicated water flow inside the valve.

Swing-Box Reversal Valve Utility Model Invention Certificate

Watco Group team realized the need in a flow-reversal valve that didn’t have any cross-over and minimal additional pressure loss, so as to achieve full performance of the HE unit at minimal energy cost. So the swing box was invented.

Swing-Box Utility Model Patent Certificate was granted to WATCO Group for creating a valve without any cross-over and minimal additional pressure loss.

Advantages of swing box reversal valve

Reasonable structure and reasonable manufacturing cost

Bypass zero leakage

The swing box mechanism runs on the inner side of valve’s cover which has excellent sealing conditions with sealing material (Teflon), that allows the system operate with longer lifespan.

Easy Installation and retrofit

The valve body has a compact axial dimension and low requirement of the installation space. Easy to retrofit in most of the piping layout.

Variety of connections to meet the needs of various installations
