The Valtek® TX3 Molten Salt triple-offset butterfly valve provides concentrated solar power (CSP) plant operators with reliable performance, tight shut-off and minimized maintenance in molten salt applications.
It can withstand temperatures ranging from 260°C (500°F) to 600°C (1,112°F) in thermal energy storage for industrial processes or power generation. Leakage is eliminated by the design and construction, which includes standard live-loaded Thermiculite or hybrid packing.

- Constant temperatures within the valve stem and packing region are ensured with a comprehensive solution for packing/heat tracing including integrated heating, controls, and sensors
- Reliable packing performance owing to materials and configuration engineered to match the customer’s specific packing load and performance requirements
- Minimized maintenance can be achieved with in-line maintenance (consult Flowserve engineering special
