1. Valves For On-Off Medium

A lot of valves have functions of transport and shut-off. Generally, ball valves, butterfly valves, gate valves and plug valves are commonly used. It is recommended to select suitable on-off valves according to the requirements of the project.

2. Valves For Flow Control

The globe valve and the control valve are very suitable for controlling the flow rate, and the regulating precision is high. The control valve could receive and feedback the control signal through the positioner to achieve control remotely.

3. Valves For Diverting, Mixing And Change The Direction

The 3-way ball valve has two structures, T-type and L-type, which can achieve the functions of diverting, mixing and changing the direction of medium flow. In special circumstances, the correct connection of two or more 2-way valves could also help to reverse, diverge or confluence.

Offering electric 3-way ball valve and pneumatic 3-way ball valve for your selection.

4. Valves For Suspended Particulate Media

The medium containing suspended particles is easy to block the valve, so it is recommended to use gate valve, knife gate valve or butterfly valve. They have a wiping effect on the sealing surface during the opening and closing process, so they are not easy to be blocked and are suitable for media with suspended particles.

5. Valves For Dangerous Working Conditions

We would recommend explosion-proof electric actuated valves for the application which is dangerous.
The explosion-proof electric actuator valve could control remotely, therefore reduce the labor cost and keep the person safe.

Each valve has its own special function, so it is very important to choose the right valve according to the requirements.

3 way ball valves

What Is 3-Way Ball Valve?

The ball valve belongs to the quarter turn valve series. Ball valves have a variety of designs and can be widely used in different industries. Among them, the three-way ball valve and the four-way ball valve are multi-port ball valves. The three-way ball valve has 3 port, providing solutions for confluence, diversion and changing the direction of medium flow.

Advantages Of Three-Way Ball Valve

1. It can completely close the valve, thereby cutting off the flow of the medium

2. It can change the flow direction of the medium by opening or closing the valve

3. It can also divide the medium into two independent directions by opening or closing

Types Of Three-Way Ball Valves

According to the flow direction, the three-way ball valve can be divided into T port and L port

T port: T port three-way ball valve is mainly used to converge, split and change the direction of medium flow. Therefore, the T port ball valve is also called a mixing valve or a diverter valve.

It allows the medium to flow in from one inlet and then flow out from the other two outlets, playing a role of diversion. At the same time, it also allows the medium to flow in from two inlets, and then flow out from the other outlet, acting as a confluence.

L port: L port ball valve can only be used to change the flow direction of the medium.

The Difference Between 3-Way Ball Valve And Two-Way Ball Valve

The three-way ball valve has three ports, which can achieve 5 functions of circulation, cut-off, confluence, diversion and changing the direction of medium flow through different flow directions. Provides a variety of solutions for the fluid control process.
The two-way ball valve has only two ports, which can only achieve the two functions of flow and cut-off.

Actuation

Manually type. We could control it by handle or worm gear.

Electrically type. Driven by electric actuators to help us control it remotely.

Pneumatically type. Offering the cost-effective automatic solution

Summarize

Ball valves are currently one of the most widely used valves, and different designs can be used in different working conditions. We are welcome any inquiries from you and so glad to help to solve the valve solution! Contact us at sales@covnaactuator.com

What Is Fail Open Valve And Fail Close Valve?

In any fluid control process, the valve is an indispensable part. In this article, we will introduce to you what is fail open and fail close. Choose the right type to ensure the normal operation of the project in emergencies.

What Is Fail Close?

Fail close means the valve will auto close once the power source or signal is interrupted. This type of valve needs to supply a power source continuously.

If you want the valve will be auto close to protect your project when the power is off, the fail-close valve will be your best choice.

Such as spring return pneumatic actuated valves and fail-safe normally closed motorized valves.

  • For spring return pneumatic actuator valves, there are a number of springs in the spring return pneumatic actuator valves. Supply air to open, once the air is interrupted then the valve will be closed.
  • For fail-safe normally closed motorized valves, there has a capacitance in the normally closed motorized valves. Once the power off, the capacitance will be a power source and it will drive the valve to close.

What Is Fail Open?

Fail open means the valve will auto-open when the power is off. The valve will be closed when power is on, and the valve will be open when power is off.

This type of valve is suitable for fire extinguishing systems. Once the power is interrupted by the fire, then the valve will auto open and allow the water to transport, thereby the fire extinguishing system could run normally.

We could help to customise each valve to fail open to meet your valve needs. Such as normally open single-acting pneumatic actuator valves and fail-open motorized valves.

In terms of fluid control, valves play an important role. Choose the right valve and let our project run normally.

We welcome any inquiries from you and hope our experience could help you to solve the valve needs.
