Actuated valves are mechanical devices that are commonly used in various industrial applications to control the flow of fluids (liquids or gases) in a system. These valves are equipped with an actuator, which is a device that moves or adjusts the position of the valve based on an external control signal.

Key components of actuated valves

Valve body: The main component that contains the fluid and has inlet and outlet ports.

Actuator: A mechanism that opens or closes the valve. Actuators can be powered by electric motors, pneumatic (air pressure), or hydraulic systems.

Positioners: Devices that assist in controlling the position of the valve based on input signals and ensure precise flow adjustment.

Control system: An external system that sends signals to the actuator to control the position of the valve.

Types of actuated valves

Electric actuated valves: Use electric motors for operation. They are precise and suitable for applications that require accurate control.

Pneumatic actuated valves: Operate with compressed air and are generally faster and more powerful than electric actuators.

Hydraulic actuated valves: Use pressurized hydraulic fluid, suitable for applications that require high force or torque.

Applications

Water treatment: Control the flow of water in treatment plants.

Oil and gas: Manage the flow of crude oil and natural gas through pipelines.

Chemical processing: Regulate the flow of chemicals in manufacturing processes.

HVAC systems: Control air flow and temperature in heating and ventilation systems.

Advantages of using actuated valves

Automation: Integrated into automated systems for real-time flow control.

Precise control: Achieve precise fluid flow adjustment.

Safety: Automatically shuts off in hazardous conditions to prevent accidents.

Remote operation: Can be operated remotely, increasing access in confined or hazardous areas.
