It is a type of valve that controls the flow of a fluid by using an electric actuator to open or close a disc or plate that is placed in the path of the fluid. Electric actuators for ball valves feature environmental sealing to protect the internal components from dust, moisture, and harsh conditions. This is important for maintaining the reliability and longevity of the actuator.
Types:
- Double Offset Electric actuated butterfly valve: This type of valve has a unique offset design that provides a tight seal and low torque operation, these valves are often used in high-pressure and high-temperature applications, such as oil and gas pipelines.
- Triple offset Electric actuated butterfly valve: These valves are often used in critical applications where leakage or failure could have serious consequences, such as in the power generation and chemical industries.
- Wafer butterfly valve: This type of valve has a wafer-style body that fits between two flanges, making it easy to install and remove. Wafer butterfly valves are often used in water treatment plants, and other industrial applications.
- Lug butterfly valve: This type of valve has threaded inserts on each side of the valve body, which allows it to be bolted into a pipeline without the need for additional flanges.
Advantages:
- Precise Control: These valves provide precise control over the valve’s position, allowing for precise flow regulation and throttling.
- Fast Response Time: Electric actuators offer rapid response times, enabling quick opening and closing of butterfly valves. This is advantageous in applications where rapid control is required.
- Low maintenance: These valves have fewer moving parts compared to pneumatic or hydraulic systems, leading to reduced maintenance requirements and lower overall costs.
- Remote control capability: They can be operated remotely, allowing for control from a central control room or a remote location. This remote operation capability is particularly useful in large industrial plants or systems where manual operation is impractical or unsafe.
