abstract: Valves have wide usage in industries ranging from food industries to petrochemical industries. Existing manufacturing processes, such as casting and forging, limit the design of globe valve to design for manufacturing. The purpose of this study is to optimize the design of current globe valve for optimized flow path. Current design of valve was modelled in CAD software and CFD analysis was performed on its geometry to identify the optimization points. Results obtained from simulations show significant increase in valve's performance, flow efficiency and decreases in pressure drop. Comparison of flow coefficient between original design and new design show approx. 35 increase in efficiency. Proposed design can be manufactured using additive manufacturing to overcome the manufacturing constraints. © 2017 Canadian Science Publishing. All rights reserved.
