Noise Abatement Trim
Whisper Trim™ cage provides effective attenuation
of aerodynamic noise in gas applications involving high
pressure drop ratios. Aerodynamic noise is generated
by the turbulence created in the ow of gas as the uid
passes through the port. To achieve effective noise
attenuation, a Whisper Trim cage utilizes multiple
orices of special shape, size and spacing. These
orices break up turbulent uid streams, reducing
noise-producing interactions. EZH and EZHSO Series
with NPS 2 to 4 / DN 50 to 100 body sizes
offer an optional Whisper Trim Cage to reduce
noise by up to 8 dBA. See Figure 7 for Noise
Level Comparisons.
Slam-Shut Device
Principle of Operation
The slam-shut device on Types EZHOSX (Figure 6)
and EZHSO-OSX can provide either overpressure
(OPSO) or overpressure and underpressure (OPSO/
UPSO) protection by completely shutting off the ow
of gas to the downstream system. The slam shut
has a mechanism box and a manometric device.
The manometric device is composed of spring and
diaphragm actuator. Its movement activates the
detection stage of the mechanism box. The shutoff is a
two stage process, the detection stage and the power
stage. This separation between detection stage and
power stage provides maximum precision, alleviating
many false trips caused by environmental vibrations. The
slam-shut device includes a bypass valve that will allow
pressure to be equalized when resetting the device.
Once the slam-shut device has been tripped, it must
be manually reset.
