Motorized control valves regulate the flow of liquid in a system by opening and closing an opening within the pipeline

 

Motorized control valves

Motorized Control Valves can automate many different types of valves, including ball valves, plug valves, and butterfly valves. These devices use electric power to rotate their components. When choosing an electric rotary actuator, take a look at the torque and range of motion it can handle. Torque is the amount of power needed to generate rotation, and the range of motion can range from a quarter to multi-turn. Depending on the use of the motorized valve, this feature can make a difference in how accurately the valve is able to control its load.

There are many benefits of using a Motorized Control Valves for various application. For example, it can be easy to install and maintain. The design is easy to understand, and the components are easy to use. Danfoss MCVs are also designed to be easy to install, and the threaded coupling allows for quick rotation after mounting. External LED visualization and signaling save time during commissioning. All new models feature overload protection and built-in thermic protection.

A Motorized Control Valves actuator moves the valve to the desired position. The actuators respond to the inputs of sensors to determine the flow amount. Different actuators can be configured for different functions. For instance, it can be programmed to allow more liquid to flow when the temperature is high, or to restrict the flow of liquid when the pressure level reaches a certain level. A motorized control valve's actuator is highly responsive during operation, allowing it to perform its function effectively.

Pneumatic actuators are another type of Motorized Control Valve. The piston and diaphragm-based actuators use air from the positioner or controller to move the valve. Other types of actuators include electric motors and hydraulic actuators. With the proper control, these valves can ensure that the plant is operating at optimum efficiency.

Actuators are typically used to open or close automatic Motorized Control Valves. These actuators can be electrical, hydraulic, or pneumatic. To make sure the valve achieves the required degree of opening, valve positioners are often used with modulating valves, which can be set to any position between fully open and closed.

Due to its simplicity and need for only compressed air, air-actuated valves are frequently used. In contrast, electrically driven valves need additional wiring and switch equipment, while hydraulically operated valves need high-pressure hydraulic fluid supply and return lines.
