A valve lift mechanism for actuating a valve in the vertical direction, and a regenerative thermal oxidizer including the valve and lift mechanism is disclosed. The valve is allowed to move vertically and oscillating rotary motion is possible. Vertical movement is achieved using the valve lift mechanism without the use of compressed air. In certain embodiments, the valve lift mechanism includes a torque motor. Preferably, a screw jack is used to adjust the vertical height of the valve. Vertical movement can reduce the torque needed to rotate the valve, and also facilitates servicing of the valve. For example, if the valve experiences high temperature, and consequently expands, rotating the valve against the mating seal plate can be difficult, if not impossible. By lowering the valve slightly, the frictional forces between the valve and the mating seal plate are reduced, allowing freer rotational movement of the valve.

La présente invention porte sur un mécanisme de levée de soupape destiné à actionner une soupape dans la direction verticale, et sur un dispositif d'oxydation thermique régénérative comprenant la soupape et le mécanisme de levée. La soupape est autorisée à se déplacer verticalement et un mouvement de rotation oscillant est possible. Le déplacement vertical est obtenu à l'aide du mécanisme de levée de soupape sans l'utilisation d'air comprimé. Dans certains modes de réalisation, le mécanisme de levée de soupape comprend un moteur couple. De préférence, un vérin à vis est utilisé pour régler la hauteur verticale de la soupape. Un déplacement vertical peut réduire le couple requis pour faire tourner la soupape, et facilite également l'entretien de la soupape. Par exemple, si la soupape est soumise à une haute température, et par conséquent se dilate, la rotation de la soupape contre la plaque d'étanchéité correspondante peut être difficile, sinon impossible. Par l'abaissement léger de la soupape, les forces de frottement entre la soupape et la plaque d'étanchéité correspondante sont réduites, permettant un mouvement de rotation plus libre de la soupape.
