Electric Three-way Valve
Electric three-way valve is a commonly used valve in industrial automation control, which can achieve the operation of dividing or merging the medium in the pipeline. Here are some key information about electric three-way valves:
working principle:
Electric three-way valves achieve fluid diversion or merging by controlling the position of the valve core. It can accurately control the flow direction of fluids based on the input of control signals, suitable for various industrial applications.
An electric three-way valve consists of an electric actuator and a three-way valve. The electric actuator receives control signals from the control system, drives the valve stem of the three-way valve, and causes the valve core to perform corresponding actions inside the valve body, thereby changing the on/off state of the valve port and achieving the purpose of regulating the flow rate of the medium in the pipeline.
Application areas:
Electric three-way valves are widely used in industrial fields such as petrochemicals, metallurgy, energy, and environmental protection. In the petrochemical industry, it is commonly used to control the mixing or diversion of fluids; In the field of metallurgy, it is commonly used to control the flow of high-temperature gases or liquids; In the field of energy, it is used to control parameters such as fluid flow rate, pressure, temperature, etc.
Electric three-way valves are also used in places with bypass control, for example, one fluid passes through a heat exchanger for heat exchange, while the other fluid does not. When the electric three-way valve is in front of the heat exchanger, a diversion three-way regulating valve is used; When the three-way regulating valve is installed after the heat exchanger, a combined electric three-way regulating valve is used.
Structural features:
The electric three-way regulating valve has the characteristics of compact structure, light weight, sensitive action, and precise flow characteristics. They can directly receive control signals from regulating instruments and single-phase power supply to control operation, achieving automatic regulation and control of the fluid medium in the process pipeline.
Electric three-way regulating valves are divided into two types based on the mode of fluid action: merging valves and diverging valves. The merging valve has two inlets, and after merging, it flows out from one outlet. The diversion valve has a fluid inlet, which splits into two streams and flows out from two outlets.
Advantages:
Electric three-way regulating valve has the advantages of high-precision regulation, energy saving and environmental protection, easy maintenance, and wide applicability.
The electric three-way regulating valve is equipped with advanced control system and sensors, which can achieve automatic control and remote monitoring, improving the operating efficiency and stability of the system.
