Based on the core functions of traditional gate valves, electric gate valves have realized automation, remote control and intelligent control through integrated electric actuators. Its core functions can be summarized as the following key points:
1. Core functions strengthen reliable full-open/full-close isolation capabilities. Electric gate valves retain the strict isolation characteristics of traditional gate valves, and accurately drive the gate plate up and down through electric actuators to achieve zero leakage isolation and ensure system safety. Extremely low flow resistance and energy saving. The flow channel is straight when fully open, reducing fluid resistance and pumping energy consumption. High pressure/high temperature/two-way flow adaptability. The sturdy valve body structure and various material options are competent for harsh working conditions such as high-pressure steam and high-temperature chemical media, and the installation direction is not restricted.
2. The upgraded role of electrification empowerment. Automated process control remote one-button operation: no manual operation is required on site, and the valve is opened and closed through the control room command to improve efficiency (such as remote switch of sedimentation tank mud discharge valve).
Emergency safety interlock: Automatically trigger emergency cutoff in the event of leakage, overpressure and other faults. Precise opening control and status feedback position real-time monitoring: built-in sensors feedback valve opening (0%~100%) to achieve visual management.
Adjustment application expansion: Although not the best regulating valve, the electric gate valve can achieve rough flow control by opening and closing in sections.
Irreplaceable human substitution for large or high-risk scenarios: suitable for valve operation with large diameter, high altitude/underground installation location, or dangerous environment.
High torque demand: electric actuators can easily cope with the large torque required for gate opening and closing under high pressure difference, avoiding manual operation risks.
Data integration and intelligent operation and maintenance operation data recording: statistics on valve action times and fault alarms to support predictive maintenance.
Energy management optimization: optimize pump station energy consumption by linking opening and closing status with flow data.
Application scenarios
Water plant: raw water inlet control, filter tank backwash valve, pump station outlet cut-off;
Sewage treatment: sludge pipeline isolation, dosing system switch control.
Chemical industry: reactor feed cut-off, high-pressure steam pipeline isolation;
Electricity: boiler feed water valve, cooling water system control;
Pharmaceutical industry: clean pipeline medium on and off.
