Series BDV Valves
Foreword
The new Varimax represents a major advance in the Varimax is the only control valve in today’s market with these
evolution of automatic throttling control valves. Its application unique design features.
envelope extends into the realm of globe valves.
Varimax Lo-dB® valves provide control of high pressure
The Varimax combines globe valve performance with the compressible fluids without the erosion, vibration and high
cost efficiency and compactness of a rotary design. A noise levels associated with conventionally designed rotary
patented seating concept permits rotation of the valve plug valves. Because of relatively large flow passages, Varimax
with zero break away torque. The result is globe valve Lo-dB valves are particularly well suited for applications
performance previously unavailable in a rotary valve design. involving gases. For high pressure ratios, Lo-dB cartridges in
the globe adaptor are recommended.
The new ATA (Adjustable Torque Actuator) incorporates a
new concept in control valve design which leads to improved
dynamic control characteristics.
ATA Features
• The dynamic control characteristics are improved as
input travel remains constant regardless of the output
travel adjustments. In this way the sensitivity of the
positioner remains constant for any CV adjustment.
• Engineering modifications and changing process
Trim dynamics are handled simply through actuator
adjustment without changing control valve trim.

6. To minimize the overall dimensions of a Std. Globe configuration with face-to-face dimensions corresponding to the IEC 534-3
(ANSI B16.10) standard, the globe adapter will be mounted on the same side as the ATA cylinder.

body option: in addition to its standard Rotary Globe
body, Varimax offers the additional
advantage of two supplementary body
options for specific application:
• The Standard Globe which conforms to I.E.C. 534-3
(ANSI B16.10) face-to-face, can be
supplied with a built-in downstream Optional Standard Globe Flangeless Body
Lo-dB® cartridge which conforms to Body with a Lo-dB® Trim and (Standard Plug)
I.E.C. 534-3 (ANSI B16.10) face-to- a Built-in Downstream
face. The Lo-dB cartridge is mounted Lo-dB® cartridge I.E.C 534-3
directly in the globe adaptor. With this (ANSI B16. 10) face-to-face*
combination, a noise reduction of up to
20 dBA can be economically achieved.
The Standard Globe body with a
built-in Lo-dB cartridge can replace a
conventional globe valve that generates
excessive noise levels due to changes
in service conditions. The globe adaptor
can also be supplied with an oversized
outlet connection which includes an
oversized Lo-dB cartridge.
• The Flangeless option is light weight with short body
face-to-face, thus avoiding tie rod
thermal extension problems on high
temperature service. Lo-dB® option
not available.
