Motorized valves are common equipment in industrial automation and water treatment systems. Their primary functions include: replacing manual labor with electric power to achieve automated control and switching of media within pipelines.
Core Functions
1. Switching Function
Open Valve: Upon receiving an electrical signal, the electric actuator opens the valve to allow medium flow.
Close Valve: Upon receiving an electrical signal, the electric actuator closes the valve to interrupt medium flow.
Applications: This is the most fundamental function of motorized valves, commonly used in water supply systems and agricultural irrigation.
2. Angle Modulation
Precision Control: Electric motor-operated valves not only enable on/off control but also precisely modulate valve angles with ±0.5% accuracy. This motorized valve functionality achieves precise regulation of medium flow rate, pressure, and temperature.
Applications: Suitable for operating conditions requiring control of temperature, flow rate, and liquid level.
Advanced Features of Motorized Valves
1. Remote Control Function
When valves are installed in hazardous or high-temperature locations, on-site operation by technicians is unnecessary. Control valve operations can be completed by issuing commands via computer, PLC, or pushbutton.
2. Timer Function
Jinfeng Valve Co., Ltd.'s WiFi Smart Valve connects via WiFi and is controlled through the Tuya Smart Life app to enable angle modulation and timer functions. This makes home water treatment and gardening smarter.
3. Rapid Switching Function
Electric actuators equipped with brushless motors achieve exceptionally short switching times, operating within milliseconds or seconds. Upon detecting leaks or excessive pressure, they instantly close valves to prevent hazards.
4. Automated Control Valves
Motorized valves can be integrated with flow meters, pressure sensors, and temperature sensors. Based on feedback signals from these sensors, they automatically control valve operations. This enables production line automation and increases output.
5. Signal Feedback Motorized Valves
Motorized valves can be equipped with signal feedback functionality, transmitting signals to the control system when the valve is fully open, fully closed, or malfunctioning.
