Question:

HVAC design, why is less than DN50 of pipe gate valve and cut-off valve,

greater than DN50 of the pipeline butterfly valve?

Answer:

Have not heard of this requirement, before the ball valve and butterfly valve quality is rarely used now are good, can be used, but not easy to control the flow valve butterfly valve can close more time-saving, fluid resistance of small. HVAC branch pipe, to flow control, so the choice of gate valve and cut-off valve is more reasonable, and now choose a ball valve is also a lot.
It's not the valve! But the price relationship!
Heating butterfly valve is flanged connection. Pressure capacity is stronger than gate valve and stop valve. For connection safety, do not use gate valve and stop valve wire connection
I don't know why it was designed. Provide you with some information you refer to, I do not know if it works for you1, stop valve and gate valve are very expensive, more than DN50 can make a lot of money2, butterfly valve is only more than DN50, no small, there may be, but I almost can not see the market.3, like DN150, DN200 such cut-off valve, gate valve is very large, and the butterfly valve is relatively light, installation can save the cost of the block, the valve itself saves too much money.4, but most of the butterfly valve used for a long time are closed.
