Abstract: In some hydropower stations in which the butterfly valves are closed by themselves using heavy punch, the butterfly valves often can not closed fully after operating several years. The problem was analyzed, and a reliable automatic closing procedure of butterfly valve was proposed. The procedure can not only ensure normal closing of butterfly valve and provide safety guarantee for operation and overhaul of hydropower station, but also can protect the main shaft and bearing of butterfly valve and lengthen the service time of butterfly valve.
