Difference Between Gate Valve And Globe Valve

The Difference Between The Working Principle Of Globe Valve And Gate Valve

The globe valve means opening or closing the valve by rotating the handwheel to drive the stem up or down. The handwheel and stem rotate and lift together. The gate valve is rotating by the handwheel and makes the valve stem lift and lower, and the handwheel position does not raise or lower.

Secondly, the gate valve only can be fully open or fully closed, so the gate valve can only let the medium flow or cut off. The opening and closing stroke of the gate valve is large, so the opening and closing time is long.
Globe valve’s movement stroke is smaller than gate valve and the angle of opening and closing can be decided according to project requirements for flow regulation and shut-off use.

The Performance Difference Between Globe Valve And Gate Valve

Globe valve can be used to cut off the flow, but also can regulate the flow. The fluid resistance of the globe valve is large, and it takes more effort to open and close. But the distance of the valve plate from the sealing surface is short, so the opening and closing time is short.

When the gate valve is fully open, the flow resistance of the medium in the valve body channel is almost 0. Therefore, the gate valve opens and closes with less effort, but the gate plate is farther from the sealing surface, so the opening and closing time is longer.

The Difference Of Installation Direction Between Globe Valve And Gate Valve

Gate valve for the installation is no flow requirements, the media can flow in both directions. However, for the installation of globe valves with strict flow requirements, the installation direction must be determined in accordance with the direction of the valve body.

Structural Differences Between Globe Valves And Gate Valves

Gate valves have a stem and a valve flap, while globe valves do not have a stem and a valve flap.

Both globe valve and gate valve could equip with a pneumatic actuator or electric actuator and help you control remotely. Any demand for gate valve and globe valve, feel free to consult us at sales@covnaactuator.com

What Is The Overloading Of Electric Actuator?

Electric actuators have their own special requirements, that is, must be able to limit the torque or axial force. Usually, electric actuators use a torque-limiting coupling. When the specification of the electric actuator is determined, the control Torque is also determined. Generally in the predetermined time and operating temperature, the actuator will not appear to overload phenomenon.

However, the electric actuator may be overloaded if:

  1. The power supply voltage is low, the actuator does not get enough power and torque so that the motor stops rotating.
  2. The torque adjustment error causes excessive torque, and causes the motor to stop the rotating.
  3. With continuous use, the actuator has not had time to dissipate heat, the motor can withstand the temperature value.
  4. Torque limiting mechanism circuit failure, so that the torque is too large
  5. The high ambient temperature causes a decrease of the heat capacity of the actuator

In general, the protection of an actuator that is overloaded is:

  1. For motor continuous operation or electric operation overload protection, the use of thermostats
  2. Thermal relay is used to protect the motor from blocking
  3. Use Fuses or overcurrent appliances for short circuit accidents

Electric actuators are an essential part of industrial automation. In order to make the project safe and stable operation, it is very important to prevent the electric actuator from the load phenomenon.

COVNA manufactures quarter-turn electric actuators and multi-turn electric actuators with overloading protection. If you are interested, please contact us at sales@covnavalve.com

Advantages of Intelligent Pneumatic Actuated Valve

The intelligent pneumatic actuated valve mainly refers to the use of pneumatic actuated valve with a positioner, through the positioner signal feedback, remote control through programming and accurate flow regulation.

With the increasing demand of industrial automation and the development of science and technology, intelligent pneumatic actuated valve has gradually spread to pipeline control in various industries.

The main advantages of intelligent pneumatic actuated valve are:
1. Fault Diagnosis
Pneumatic actuated valve with positioner and through the signal feedback, can diagnose whether the valve is safe to open or close and whether the valve regulation flow is accurate. Make the management of pneumatic valve more convenient, reduce manpower, reduce expenses.

2. Cut Costs
Using intelligent pneumatic valve can not only change the flow characteristics of pneumatic actuated valve conveniently, but also improve the accuracy of flow regulation. This means buying fewer unnecessary automation parts, simplifying the assembly of engineering or equipment, reducing costs and increasing productivity.

3. Digital Communications
Based on HART communication protocol, the positioner realizes the input signal and the valve signal on the same transmission line. The combination of pneumatic actuated valve, positioner and PID control function module makes the control more timely and faster.

3 Advantages of Electric Actuator Valve

With the increasing demand for automation, the demand for electric actuator valves(electric ball valve and electric butterfly valve) has gradually increased, and gradually replaced the manual valve. Although the cost of electric actuator valve is several times of manual valve, even dozens of times, but because of the unique advantages of electric actuator valve, is still loved by various industries. Next, we will briefly understand the 3 advantages of electric actuator valve.

  1. Industrial Automation

By programming and adjusting the signal, the valve can be started or closed remotely by the system. Engineers do not need to be present to open the valve, reducing labor costs. When the engineering environment is worse, the engineer does not have to open the valve on the spot, and the safety of the engineer can be guaranteed.

At the same time, electric valve can work for a long time up to 99 hours to achieve engineering automation, improve production efficiency, speed up the construction of the project.

2. Low Failure Rate

Electric actuator valve with load protection device. When the voltage is too high, or the working time is too long to cause the motor to overheat, the load protection will be turned on. But the motor temperature cooling, then only need to re-turn on the power supply, can be opened again. And because the motor drive mode open and close more smoothly, without the disadvantage of too much instantaneous impulse, the failure rate can be greatly reduced.

3. Safe And Easy Installation

Electric actuator valve to motor-driven, easy to install, only with the factory’s original automatic control line can save installation costs.

Although the cost of electric actuator valve is higher than the cost of manual valve, the benefits of electric actuator valve is several times of manual valve.

Working Principle Of Electric Actuator

An electric actuator is a mechanical device that converts electrical power into torque by means of a motor. It is used for rotary or linear motion. And can be programmed (such as PLC control), through the signal control (4-20mA, 1-5VDC, 0-10VDC) to make the valve opening more automatic, improve production efficiency and work efficiency.

Due to the increasing demand for automation and the development of technology, the demand for electric actuators has also improved a lot, such as safety performance. Electric actuators now have over loading protection, and when the voltage exceeds the required range, or an abnormal overheating occurs, the protection is immediately activated to prevent a failure that could cause the project to suspend and reduce productivity. When the motor is cooled, the switching power supply can be switched on again and the motor can work again.
