Butterfly Valves

Butterfly valve has the advantages of lightweight, reliable performance, simple matching and large flow capacity, especially suitable for occasions where the medium is viscous and contains particles and fibers. When the butterfly valve is in the fully open position, the thickness of the butterfly plate is the only resistance when the medium flows through the valve body, so the pressure drop generated by the valve is very small. So it has better flow control characteristics. The butterfly valve has two sealing types such as soft seal types and metal seal types.

At present, the valve is widely used in food, environmental protection, petroleum, papermaking, chemical industry, teaching and scientific research equipment, electric power and other industries.

The butterfly valve could be driven by electric actuator, pneumatic actuator and manual override.

What Is The Difference Between Pneumatic Ball Valves And Pneumatic Butterfly Valves?

/in /by

According to the valve type, the pneumatic actuator valve could be divided into pneumatic ball valves and pneumatic butterfly valves.

Pneumatic ball valve is a valve that uses a ball with a circular channel as the opening and closing part, and the ball rotates with the valve stem to realize the opening and closing action. The opening and closing part of the ball valve is a sphere with holes, which rotates around the axis perpendicular to the channel, so as to achieve the purpose of opening and closing the channel.

Pneumatic butterfly valve is a quarter valve used to open, close and regulate fluid flow. It has a simple operation. A 90-degree rotation of a valve or actuator completely opens or closes fluid flow.

Working Principle

Pneumatic ball valve has a 90-degree rotation action, just because its opening and closing part is a sphere, it can be opened or closed only by operating a 90-degree rotation, which is the most suitable for switching. But now the V-shaped ball valve can be used to regulate or control the flow.

Pneumatic butterfly valve is a kind of valve that uses a disc-type opening and closing member to reciprocate about 90° to open, close or adjust the flow of the medium. It has a good function of adjusting the flow and is one of the fastest-growing valve varieties.

Pressure

Pneumatic ball valves always rotate, no matter how much pressure is applied. Once opened, the pressure hardly drops because the hole in the ball allows 100% flow of gas or liquid.

Pneumatic butterfly valves are constructed so that a portion of the valve flap always interferes with the flow of liquid or gas. This means that there is always a pressure drop when using a butterfly valve. This also means that the butterfly valve may be difficult to open

Applications

Pneumatic ball valves are more effective at sealing than pneumatic butterfly valves, so ball valves are generally better suited for projects involving gas flow.

Pneumatic butterfly valves are typically less expensive to build and maintain, so they are commonly used in large municipal water and sewer projects. They are also common in projects that control the flow of water in rivers or streams.

What is COVNA Pneumatic Control Valve?

/in /by

Pneumatic control valves are mainly used in transportation systems in medical, food, petroleum, natural gas, water treatment, and other industries, and are suitable for controlling gas, steam, liquid, and other media. Compared with other general pneumatic actuator valves, it adds some control components, and the whole is more complicated, so the required debugging process is naturally more complicated.

Today, we will talk to you about the COVNA pneumatic control valve.

It is characterized by simple control, fast response, intrinsic safety, no need to take additional explosion-proof measures and receives control signals from industrial automation control systems to adjust various process parameters such as flow and pressure of pipeline media.

Pneumatic control valve is usually composed of a pneumatic actuator and modulating valve connection, installation and debugging. Pneumatic actuators can be divided into two types: single-acting and double-acting. There is a return spring in the single-acting actuator, while there is no return spring in the double-acting actuator. Among them, the single-acting actuator can automatically return to the open or closed state initially set by the valve in the event of loss of origin or sudden failure.

The pneumatic control valve is divided into two types: air-opening and air-closing according to the active form, the so-called normally open type and normally closed type. The air-opening or air-closing of the pneumatic control valve is usually through the positive and negative action of the actuator and the valve state structure of different assembly methods.

What Is COVNA Pneumatic Knife Gate Valve?

/in /by

Pneumatic knife gate valve is a relatively complex automatic control, which is composed of a variety of pneumatic components and valve bodies. It is suitable for medium pipelines such as syrup, paper pulp, sewage, coal slurry, ash, dust, and slag-water mixture.

In the past, such as in paper industry applications, viscous pulp can get stuck in the valve seat of ordinary gate valve and prevent the valve from closing, causing the valve seal to leak, but the knife gate valve is specially designed so that the valve has a sharp edge, which can be cut open viscous media and seal to prevent leakage.

Pneumatic actuators are the most affordable and economical way to drive a knife gate valve. Because knife gate valves are only suitable for on-off use, not media modulating applications, the design features are ideal for installing pneumatic actuators.

Pneumatic knife gate valves are mostly used in occasions requiring quick shut-off or opening, the gate has a shearing function, which can scrape off the adhesive on the sealing surface and automatically remove the sundries. Due to this special design, pneumatic knife gate valves are very effective in applications involving viscous fluids, slurries and other media.

COVNA Valves For Industrial Fogging Systems

/in /by

Fogging system is to achieve atomization of liquid, which can be used in fire fighting industry, dust-free treatment equipment, mosquito repellent fogging equipment and other automated industries and equipment. Valves assist in the transfer of liquids to the fogging system and increase productivity. The process of atomizing liquids requires high pressure, so we would recommend the use of high-pressure valves for atomization systems.
In this article, we will introduce you to the COVNA high-pressure valve series, which we hope will help to understand and select the right valve.

High-pressure Ball Valves

The body thickness of the high-pressure ball valve is 2 times thicker than that of a normal ball valve. When subjected to the impact of high-pressure media, it can still maintain stability and normal operation. The thicker body keeps it from blowing up, thus ensuring the proper operation of the project. The high-pressure ball valve can withstand pressures up to 400 bar, so it will be your valve of choice.
The high-pressure ball valve can be driven by electric or pneumatic actuators, thus enabling remote control of the valve.

High-pressure Butterfly Valves

High-pressure butterfly valves are generally referred to as triple eccentric hard seal butterfly valves. It can withstand pressures of up to 40 bar. The size range is up to 16″, which makes up for the lack of ball valves (the maximum size of high-pressure ball valves is only 2″). The high-pressure butterfly valve is available with a choice of clamped and flanged connections.
Likewise, the high-pressure butterfly valve can be driven by electric actuator or pneumatic actuator.

Above is the introduction of high-pressure valves that can be used in atomization systems. If you have any need for valves, welcome to consult us for the best valve solution and budget cost.
