A control valve is a valve used to control fluid flow by varying the size of the flow passage as directed by a signal from a controller. [1] This enables the direct control of flow rate and the consequential control of process quantities such as pressure , temperature , and liquid level.
Modulating control valves each with 4-20mA I to P converter linked to pneumatic a valve positioner controlling a diaphragm actuator. An air-operated valve, also known as a pneumatic valve, is a type of power-operated pipe valve that uses air pressure to perform a function similar to a solenoid.
The blue valve body is visible in-line with the pipe. The valve actuator opens or closes the butterfly disc of the valve based on electrical signals sent to the actuator. Another valve actuator is visible in the background, with windows to indicate the valve position. A valve actuator is the mechanism for opening and closing a valve. Manually ...
Pressure independent control valves can be used with any control system. The actuator options give a choice of thermal, 3-point control, or modulating control. This will work with building management systems and individual room controls, in the same way as traditional control valves. The actuators can also be used to set the valve by limiting flow.
ISO 14617 Graphical symbols for diagrams is a library of graphical symbols for diagrams used in technical applications. [1] ISO 14617 consists of the following parts: Part 1: General information and indexes; Part 2: Symbols having general application; Part 3: Connections and related devices; Part 4: Actuators and related devices
An isolation valve is a valve in a fluid handling system that stops the flow of process media to a given location, usually for maintenance or safety purposes. [1] They can also be used to provide flow logic (selecting one flow path versus another), and to connect external equipment to a system. [2]
Flutter (Heimlich) valve: a specific one-way valve used on the end of chest drain tubes to treat a pneumothorax; Foot valve: a check valve on the foot of a suction line to prevent backflow; Four-way valve: was used to control the flow of steam to the cylinder of early double-acting steam engines
The hydraulic actuators respond to changes of pressure or flow and will open or close the valve. Automatic control valves do not require an external power source, meaning that the fluid pressure is enough to open and close them. Flow control valves, a type of automatic control valve, regulate fluid flow by maintaining a predetermined flow rate ...
