Case Study: Mitigating TCO and Operational Risk in a High-Pressure Industrial Cooling System

This case study analyzes how a leading Polish heavy machinery manufacturer partnered with JRVAL to upgrade a critical cooling system, achieving an 18% reduction in valve acquisition costs while significantly enhancing operational safety and system reliability.

At a Glance: Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)
Product Deployed JRVAL HP25 Series Worm Gear Wafer Butterfly Valve, DN200
Application Main isolation for a high-pressure (15 bar) closed-loop industrial cooling circuit
Key Challenge Existing lever-operated valves caused severe water hammer, posed an operational safety risk, and showed premature seal wear.
Cost Optimization 18% lower upfront cost compared to the incumbent European premium brand quote, resulting in a €12,000 saving on the initial valve package.
Risk Mitigation Complete mitigation of water hammer events. Projected 90% reduction in unscheduled downtime related to valve failure based on initial 6-month performance.
Supply Chain 8-week lead time from PO to delivery, compared to the 14-week quote from the alternative supplier, de-risking the project schedule.

The Client & The Challenge

Our client, a prominent manufacturer of heavy machinery components based in Poland, was undertaking a planned upgrade of their primary production facility's cooling system. The system operates with a constant static head pressure of approximately 15 bar (PN16-rated).

Their lead maintenance engineer, Marek Sokołowski, identified a critical flaw in the existing setup. The DN200 lever-operated butterfly valves on the main loop were problematic:

• Water Hammer: Quick closure by operators was causing severe hydraulic shock (water hammer), leading to a documented pipe flange gasket leak and placing constant stress on the entire piping system.
• Operational Hazard: The high differential pressure made operating the large lever valves physically demanding and unsafe, requiring two operators and increasing the risk of injury.
• Reduced Lifespan: The high torque required to operate the valves was causing premature wear on the valve stems and seals, leading to minor weeping and increased maintenance cycles.

The Vetting Process: A Focus on Substantiated Quality

Marek’s team was positioned between two undesirable extremes: prohibitively expensive Tier-1 European brands and low-cost Asian suppliers with questionable material traceability. Their search was for a manufacturer that could provide verifiable engineering quality at a sustainable price point.

During the vetting process with JRVAL, Marek’s team requested a comprehensive documentation package, not as a special feature, but as a mandatory prerequisite for consideration:

  • Core Certifications: ISO 9001:2015, CE (PED), and BV type approval certificates.
  • Material Traceability: Mill Test Reports (MTRs) for the specified GGG50 (Ductile Iron) body and the SS420 stem.
  • Pressure Test Reports: Internal hydro-test reports confirming testing to 37.5 bar (Shell) and 27.5 bar (Seat), compliant with EN 12266-1 P10 & P12.
  • Sealing Performance: A clear guarantee of ISO 5208 Rate A (zero visible leakage).

Crucially, JRVAL’s transparency about their manufacturing process was a deciding factor. They openly stated their strength as a foundry-first enterprise, with the company owner being a 20-year casting specialist. This provided a credible explanation for their ability to guarantee material integrity from the very first step of production.

The JRVAL Solution: Engineered Value & Transparency

JRVAL proposed the HP25 Worm Gear Wafer Butterfly Valve as the technically and commercially superior solution.

The Right Technology

The worm gear operator directly addressed the core challenges. Its high gear ratio enables slow, controlled closure, naturally dissipating the line's kinetic energy and completely mitigating water hammer. It also provides significant mechanical advantage, allowing a single operator to safely and smoothly actuate the DN200 valve, even under full pressure.

In-House Foundry Advantage

Instead of just claiming "good material," JRVAL provided context. Their in-house foundry (81,426 m² facility) and direct oversight on casting ensure the GGG50 bodies have superior microstructural integrity and are free from porosity—a common failure point in high-pressure valves from less integrated suppliers.

Supply Chain & Warranty

With 11 key CNC machining centers, JRVAL committed to and met an 8-week delivery schedule. A standard 24-month warranty was provided, and because the valves are built to international standards, long-term maintenance with standardized spares is assured, guaranteeing a low Total Cost of Ownership (TCO).

Quantifiable Results & Long-Term Impact

Financial

The project came in €12,000 under the valve budget set by the alternative premium quote, an 18% saving that was reallocated to other plant upgrades.

Operational

There have been zero valve-related maintenance calls. System pressure is stable, and the audible "bang" of water hammer during pump shutdowns has been entirely eliminated. Operator feedback has been overwhelmingly positive, citing the ease and safety of operation.

Risk Profile

The risk of a catastrophic pipe failure due to hydraulic shock has been mitigated. The plant's operational risk profile is demonstrably lower, and insurance assessors have noted the system's improved safety standards.

"JRVAL's control over their entire manufacturing process, starting from their own foundry, gave us the confidence in material quality."

Technical FAQ: HP25 Worm Gear Butterfly Valve

Why use a worm gear for a PN25 valve instead of a lever?

A worm gear is critical for high-pressure applications. It provides three essential engineering advantages:

  • Mechanical Advantage: It multiplies input force, allowing a single operator to safely close the valve against 25 bar of pressure without hazardous "cheater bars".
  • Water Hammer Prevention: It forces a slow, controlled closing speed, preventing the destructive pressure spikes (water hammer) common with fast-closing levers.
  • Self-Locking: The gearbox holds the disc firmly in any position, preventing disc flutter and making it ideal for precise throttling and flow control.

How do you guarantee the GGG50 body can handle PN25 long-term?

As a foundry-first manufacturer, we have total control. We don't just "use" GGG50; we produce it. Our GGG50 (EN-GJS-500-7) has a verified minimum tensile strength of 500 MPa. This superior strength prevents "body ovalization"—a subtle deformation under high pressure that causes seat leakage in valves made from inferior GGG40. We provide full MTRs to prove it.

Can the valve stem handle the high torque from the gearbox?

Absolutely. The drivetrain is engineered as a complete system. The HP25 series utilizes a reinforced, high-tensile SS420 stainless steel stem with a larger diameter than standard valves. This robust design ensures all torque from the gearbox is reliably transferred to the disc for a bubble-tight seal, without any risk of shearing or twisting the stem.

Is it possible to automate this valve later?

Yes, future-proofing is built-in. The worm gearbox is mounted on a standardized ISO 5211 top flange. This means you can easily remove the manual gearbox and direct-mount a standard electric or pneumatic actuator in the future without needing any special brackets or modifications, simplifying upgrades and reducing long-term costs.

What testing is performed and what is the warranty?

Every HP25 valve is hydrostatically tested to EN 12266-1 standards: Shell Test at 37.5 bar (1.5xPN) and Seat Test at 27.5 bar (1.1xPN). This guarantees zero leakage (ISO 5208 Rate A). Each valve is backed by our standard 24-month warranty, with readily available spare parts and online technical support.

Why Trust JRVAL with High-Pressure Systems?

Foundry-Direct Material Control

As a 20-year casting specialist, we don't just assemble; we create. This guarantees our GGG50 ductile iron meets its 500MPa strength spec, a claim backed by full MTRs.

Engineered Drivetrain

Our HP25 series features a heavier body casting and a reinforced stem, designed specifically to handle the high torque from the gearbox for superior long-term reliability.

100% Tested & Certified

No valve leaves our facility without passing a 1.5x shell and 1.1x seat pressure test. A signed test report and our 24-month warranty is your guarantee of performance.
