Capacity and Control

Solving your application needs from big to small, general to severe, the easy-e control valve is available with a choice of trim styles and sizes from NPS ½ thru 36. You can specify just the right amount of capacity and control for your application.

Unmatched Capacity

Due to its proven cage-guided design, the easy-e delivers a broad range of flow capacities. This allows you the freedom of applying the easy-e in a wide range of service conditions, maximizing your control options. With flow capacities ranging from 0.001 Cv up to 12,000 Cv, the easy-e truly is the epitome of versatility.

Control Flexibility

The flow cage within the easy-e control valve with balanced trim not only guides the valve plug and retains the seat ring, it also determines the flow characteristic of the valve. With these cage options, the flow characteristic can be changed quickly with minimum downtime. Special cage configurations are also available to meet severe service demands.

Severe Service

If you want answers to your severe service applications, there’s only one automation supplier to choose. Emerson offers the application experience, technology, and responsive service you need. This means you can get the right easy-e control valve solution for the right application.

The easy-e control valve features interchangeable trim sets for not only general service applications, but also for a wide range of severe service applications. This means that one easy-e control valve body can be used in many different applications with a simple switch of the trim set. These severe service trim sets utilize proven-in-use Fisher technology to reduce noise and eliminate cavitation.

Cavitation Control

Cavitation is a concern for plant operators and maintenance personnel because it can reduce plant availability and profitability.

Cavitation not only decreases flow capability through control valves, but may also cause material damage, excessive noise, and excessive vibration. A wide range of Fisher cavitation-control technologies are available for both clean and dirty services.

Dirty Service

NotchFlo ™ DST Control Valve

A complete easy-e control valve solution that is specially designed for dirty, cavitating services. The trim in this valve utilizes a series of flow restrictions and expansions to eliminate cavitation while allowing up to 12.7 mm

(½ inch) diameter particulate to pass through without plugging.

Dirty Service Trim (DST)

Provides cavitation control for dirty service applications where the process fluid may contain particulate. The design of this trim not only eliminates cavitation, but also allows up to 19.05 mm (¾ inch) diameter particulate to pass through without plugging.

Clean Service

Cavitrol ™ III Trim

Effectively eliminates cavitation in clean service applications. The cage in this trim contains a multitude of specially shaped, radially aligned holes that reduce fluid turbulence and stage the system pressure drop, both of which control or eliminate the damaging effects of cavitation.

Noise Abatement

Control valve noise is a concern for plant operators and maintenance personnel because it can affect plant availability and profitability. High noise levels can cause health concerns for plant personnel and cause equipment damage, vibration, and control issues. There is no single technology or treatment that can solve all noise issues cost effectively or efficiency. For that reason, a wide range of Fisher noise-attenuating trims are available for vapor, gas, or steam applications.

Whisper Trim ™ I

Provides an economical, yet proven, means of control valve noise reduction in a slottedcage guided trim design. Noise can be effectively reduced by up to 18 dBA through specially designed flow passages that break up turbulent streams and ensure exit jet independence.

Whisper Trim ™ III

Offers a highly flexible means of noise reduction in a drilledhole, cage-guided trim design.

Up to 30 dBA of attenuation is possible through the use of specially designed passages that shift frequencies to higher, less problematic levels and ensure exit jet independence.

WhisperFlo ™ Trim

This multi-path, multi-stage trim reduces noise by as much as 40 dBA across five areas.

The cage in this trim design is composed of specially designed, laser cut flow discs that deliver a breakthrough combination of high capacity and noise abatement performance.

Cost and Time-Saving Benefits

Quick-Change Trim Means Fast Service

The easy-e control valve’s quick-change, cage-style trim reduces the maintenance challenge, which increases operating time and reduces operating expense.

Incorporating the Fisher easy-e control valve into your process can have significant cost and time-saving benefits:

Reduce Downtime - The rugged easy-e control valve results from extensive flow testing and evaluation, yielding a robust control valve that is the industry standard for dependability and longevity.

Reduce Maintenance Costs - The drop-in easy-e cage, valve plug, and seat ring are designed to be removed from the top for quick inspection and easy service. This gives you the ability to leave the valve body installed, resulting in greater savings in maintenance time and reduced downtime costs.

Gain Application Versatility - Since trim parts are interchangeable across the easy-e line, you maximize your control options as you minimize your control valve investment.

Reduce Parts Inventory - Seat rings, cages, gaskets, stems, bonnets, packing seals, and many other parts on the easy-e control valve are interchangeable. Trim inventory costs can be kept to a minimum, resulting in savings that go right to your bottom line.

Reduce Training Costs - Your staff can quickly apply the flexibility of the easy-e control valve to many different applications within your operation.

Achieve Worldwide Consistency - No matter where you obtain or use your easy-e control valve, the dimensions and parts will be uniform, eliminating problems that arise from non-interchangeability.

Improve Total Cost of Ownership - Quality Fisher product construction provides long life with minimum service requirements. The standard flow cage, valve plug, and seat ring are constructed of hardened stainless steel. Trim parts are precision manufactured to provide smooth operation for years to come.

Third Party Certification - The Lloyd’s Register’s Marine Type

Approval is available for the easy-e control valve when used within the offshore oil and gas production industry. The easy-e control valve is also certified for use in Safety Instrumented System (SIS) applications by exida Consulting LLC.

In addition to providing top quality, expertly engineered control valves, Emerson is committed to providing you with exceptional customer service. Emerson’s application assistance, responsive replacement parts service, control valve repair, and training add even more value to the Fisher easy-e control valve.
