Fixed Cone Valves
Hilton Fixed Cone Valves are designed for continuous flow control with free discharge. They are commonly used on reservoirs for water level control and turbine by-pass. The valve’s features and robust construction are designed to provide years of trouble-free service. The unique rib design reduces vibration. Hilton Fixed Cone Valves operates smoothly from zero to 100% capacity without cavitation. Flow discharge coefficient is between 0.80-0.85.
Hilton Fixed Cone Valves are available with a baffled hood design that provides ~ 90% energy reduction compared to 20%-40% reduction for an un-baffled hood design.
Hilton Valves have been successfully applied in free discharge applications in the hydropower industry since 1975. This extensive experience with hydro applications enables Hilton application engineers to provide recommendations and assist with specifications for consulting engineers and utilities.
