Yes. The expansion loop is only there to take up the thermal expansion of the pipe run, installing a valve will not impede the action of the loop.

What is a closed loop condensate system?
If I understand what you are asking, you are describing a steam cycle system. First water is pressurized and pumped via a condensate pump (the water is called condensate. This condensate normally goes through a heater to increase efficiency, then is further pressurized by feed pumps. The water (now called Feed Water) is then sent through a control valve and into a steam generator (basically a large tea kettle). The control valve maintains constant water level in the generator within a certain range. The water in the generator is heated by various ways (Oil, Coal, Nuclear, Geothermal or even Solar reflectors). The steam produced is directed to do whatever work the system is designed to do, either heating, electricity generation, propulsion (steam locomotive / Steam powered ship). Once the steam has been used to produce work, it is at a lower temperature and pressure than it was in the generator. This low pressure steam can be directed to the condensate heater (as described above) then to a condenser, or straight to the condenser. The condenser uses various ways to further cool the steam; (water, cooling towers ;those big towers at nuclear power plants) and the resulting condensate is collected to be reused. The reason why it is called a closed loop system is that the water is re-used time and again in a loop. The water is only added to make up for leaks in the system (thus it is called make up water).
What is hysteresis loop in stress and strain?
the leading or lagging between the stress and strain is called hysteresis loop
What are the examples for open and closed loop control systems with their block diagrams?
traffic signal,blind person,
What are the parts of simple loop generator?
yoke,magnetic poles,armature,field winding,shaft,armature winding,commutator
What is a loop at the end of a rope?
It could be a hangman's noose, a bowline, a bowline on a bight, a double bowline, an overhand bight, or any number of other knots.
What is a expansion loop?
a complete loop installed in a pipeline to mitigate the effect of expansion or contraction of the line.
How to make Steam line expansion loop?
lard
Who invented the 's' bend pipe and why?
Eli Whitney after he developed the steam engine to allow for the coefficient of expansion per degree of temperature changes also called an expansion loop
What is the average cost of installation for steam piping?
$190. + per installed foot including clevis hangers, Hardford loop and venting as needed
What is the expansion loop for 150mm pipe size?
120
What is the function of an expansion loop in pipe line?
To save the piping from breaking during thermal expansion (day/night, summer/winter). They provide the needed space to expand withought breaking the system.
What is the difference between a pressurized water reactor and a boiling water reactor?
The primary difference between a pressurized water reactor (PWR) and a boiling water reactor (BWR) is that in the BWR, water is actually boiled, and the steam is used to drive a steam turbine, while in the PWR, the primary coolant is not allowed to boil, but is circulated in a closed loop to boil water in a steam generator. The BWR circulates primary coolant through the steam turbine in a closed loop. The PWR contains the primary coolant in a loop that includes the steam generator, and not the steam turbine.
What is the mechanism to correct the operation of an automatic machine called?
Usually a negative feedback loop is employed from output to input of a machine.. The Watt's governor of a steam engine is an example. As the engine starts to over speed spinning balls in the governor driven by the flywheel progressively close the steam valve. The engine slows, the balls fall and the steam pipe opens again. A compromise is maintained between the two states.
Why should expansion loops be incorporated into a system?
In a pipeline system, expansion loops, which may actually be ahorseshoe or w-shape besides a loop, provide a tolerance for the pipe when it experiences a thermal expansion or contraction.
Why use loop in pipe rack?
For thermal expansion of the pipe, avoiding damage/clash to adjoining pipes.
What is used in nuclear power plant to transfer the heat in the primary loop to the secondary loop?
A heat exchanger where the primary pressurised water produces steam in the secondary side which is at a lower pressure (in the PWR)
What is an open loop system?
Open Loop control Systems have input, then the input is processed by various components like amplifiers, filters etc, then final out stage.The main difference between open loop and closed loop systems is that in open loop systems there is no feedback.
