Abstract

A valve for use in a cracking process includes an erosion protection device. The erosion protection device includes at least one baffle projector beyond a contour of an inner wall of the closure part. The closure part is positioned between a first housing part and a second housing part. The expansion protection device minimizes the direct impact on the sealing surface and sealing seats of the value.

Claims

1-24. -24. (canceled)

25. A double gate valve comprising;

a housing with a first housing part having an inner wall;

a second housing part having an inner wall; and

a closure part which is arranged in a movable manner between the first housing part and the second housing part, the closure part having an inner wall;

wherein, in an open position of the valve, an exit opening of the first housing part is assigned to an entry opening of the closure part and an exit opening of the closure part is assigned to an entry opening of the second housing part, the valve having at least one baffle projecting beyond a contour of the inner wall of the closure part, wherein the at least one baffle is arranged on the inner wall of the closure part to provide erosion protection.

27. The valve according to claim 25, wherein the closure part comprises a pipe bridge, wherein, in an open position of the valve, the pipe bridge arranged in a connecting manner between the first housing part and the second housing part, and wherein the inner wall of the closure part forms an inner wall of the pipe bridge.

28. The valve according to claim 25, wherein at least one baffle is arranged in a peripheral region of the entry opening of the closure part.

29. The valve according to claim 25, wherein at least one baffle is arranged in a peripheral region of the exit opening of the closure part.

30. The valve according to claim 25, wherein at least one baffle is arranged on the inner wall of the first housing part and/or at least one baffle is arranged on the inner wall of the second housing part.

31. The valve according to claim 25, wherein at least one baffle is arranged in a peripheral region of the exit opening of the first housing part.

32. The valve according to claim 25, wherein at least one baffle comprises at least one plate-like part.

33. The valve according to claim 25, wherein at least one baffle comprises at least one surface which is formed orthogonally in relation to the contour of the inner wall of the closure part, of the inner wall of the first housing part and/or of the inner wall of the second housing part.

34. The valve according to claim 25, wherein at least one baffle comprises at least one surface which is inclined in relation to the contour of the inner wall of the closure part, of the inner wall of the first housing part and/or of the inner wall of the second housing part.

35. The valve according to claim 25, wherein at least one baffle comprises at least one curved surface.

36. The valve according to claim 25, wherein at least one baffle comprises an erosion-resistant coating.

37. The valve according to claim 25, wherein at least one baffle is formed in one piece with the first housing part, the second housing part and/or the closure part.

38. The valve according to claim 25, wherein at least one baffle is fastened on the first housing part, on the second housing part and/or on the closure part by mechanical fastening means.

39. A method of use of a valve according to claim 28 in a cracking or coking process.

40. A method of avoiding erosion in a valve with a first housing part having an inner wall, with a second housing part having an inner wall and with a closure part which is arranged in a movable manner between the first housing part and the second housing part and has an inner wall, wherein, in an open position of the valve, an exit opening of the first housing part is assigned to an entry opening of the closure part and an exit opening of the closure part is assigned to an entry opening of the second housing part, wherein the valve is designed in the form of a double-gate valve, wherein a through-going flow is at least partially braked and/or deflected by virtue of an erosion device being arranged in the valve and characterized in that the erosion-protection device comprises at least one baffle projecting beyond a contour of the inner wall of the closure part, wherein the at least one baffle is arranged on the inner wall of the closure part.

41. The method according to claim 40, wherein the erosion-protection device comprises at least one baffle projecting beyond a contour of the inner wall of the first housing part and/or of the inner wall of the second housing part.

42. The method according to claim 40, wherein the closure part comprises a pipe bridge, wherein, in an open position of the valve, the pipe bridge can be arranged in a connecting manner between the first housing part and the second housing part, and wherein the inner wall of the closure part forms an inner wall of the pipe bridge.

43. The method according to claim 40, wherein at least one baffle is arranged in a peripheral region of the entry opening of the closure part.

44. The method according to claim 40, wherein at least one baffle is arranged in a peripheral region of the exit opening of the closure part.
