DUAL PLATE CHECK VALVES: BENEFITS AND APPLICATIONS

Dual plate check valves stand out from traditional swing check valves and other non-return valve types for their lightweight design, compact size, and superior flow performance. Internationally known as dual plate check valves, they use two hinged plates that significantly reduce water hammer and optimize the protection of pumps and pipelines.
The wafer design achieves up to 70% weight and space savings, directly impacting installation and operational costs.

Economic and Operational Advantages

Companies choosing dual plate check valves gain tangible benefits not only in safety but also in return on investment:

• Lower energy consumption: reduced pressure drop translates into pumping efficiency and lower operating costs.

• Reduced maintenance costs: the retainerless design eliminates potential leakage points, minimizing plant downtime.

• Regulatory compliance: meets international standards such as API 594, ensuring global compatibility and reliability.

• Metal-to-metal sealing: provides tight shut-off and performance even under extreme conditions.

Goodwin Valves: A Technological Benchmark

Goodwin valves, manufactured with high-quality materials and rigorous testing, ensure flow stability and long-term reliability. They are particularly valued in energy-intensive industries such as oil & gas, power generation, and chemical processing, where every percentage point of efficiency creates significant economic value.

Beyond the energy sector, dual plate check valves are widely used in other critical industrial contexts:

• Cooling systems in hydroelectric and thermal power plants;

• Large-scale water distribution and HVAC systems;

• High-pressure fluid transport pipelines;

• Chemical and petrochemical processes where safety and continuity are essential.

In all these scenarios, dual plate check valves ensure backflow prevention, reduced pressure loss, and uninterrupted operations.
