As a common industrial fluid control equipment, electric butterfly valves play an important role in various industrial fields. It has the advantages of simple structure, small size, light weight, convenient operation and maintenance, so it is widely used in petroleum, chemical, metallurgy, electric power, pharmaceutical, food and other industries. This article will focus on the key applications of electric butterfly valves in industrial fluid control and evaluate their performance.
First, the key application of electric butterfly valves.
1.Petrochemical industry.
In the petrochemical industry, electric butterfly valves are commonly used to control the flow and pressure of various media. For example, in oil refining units, electric butterfly valves can be used to control the flow of **, gasoline, diesel and other media to ensure the stability and safety of the production process. In addition, the electric butterfly valve can also be used to control the flow of various chemical media, such as acid and alkali solutions, ammonia, ethanol, etc.
2.Power industry.
In the power industry, electric butterfly valves are commonly used to control fluids in boiler feed water systems, circulating water systems, deaeration systems, etc. Through the precise control of the fluid, the operating efficiency of the system can be improved, the energy consumption can be reduced, and the safe and stable operation of the equipment can be ensured.
3.Iron and steel metallurgical industry.
In the iron and steel metallurgy industry, electric butterfly valves are usually used to control gas, gas purification systems, sinter conveying systems and other fluids at high temperature and high pressure. These media place high demands on the sealing and wear resistance of the equipment, and the electric butterfly valve is the ideal choice to meet these requirements.
4.Pharmaceutical and food industry.
In the pharmaceutical and food industry, electric butterfly valves are commonly used to control the flow of various liquids and gases. Since these media tend to have high hygienic requirements, electric butterfly valves need to have good sealing performance and easy cleaning performance to meet the industry's hygienic standards.
2. Performance evaluation of electric butterfly valves.
1.Sealing performance.
The sealing performance of the electric butterfly valve directly affects the safe and stable operation of the equipment. Good sealing performance can effectively prevent media leakage and reduce the safety risk of the system. Therefore, when selecting and using an electric butterfly valve, it is necessary to conduct a comprehensive evaluation of its sealing performance, as well as to carry out regular inspection and maintenance.
2.Fluid control accuracy.
Electric butterfly valves need to have high fluid control accuracy in industrial fluid control to meet the requirements of precise control of flow and pressure under different process conditions. Therefore, in the process of selection and use, it is necessary to fully consider the accuracy of its fluid control, and adjust and optimize it according to the actual needs.
3.Pressure and temperature resistance.
In some special working conditions, the pressure and temperature of the medium may be high, so the electric butterfly valve needs to have good pressure and temperature resistance to ensure that the equipment can still operate stably and reliably under high pressure and high temperature conditions.
4.Corrosion resistance.
In the control of some special media, the medium may be highly corrosive, so the electric butterfly valve needs to have good corrosion resistance to ensure the long-term stable operation of the equipment.
5.Operational reliability.
As an automatic control equipment, the operational reliability of the electric butterfly valve is directly related to the stability and safety of the entire production system. Therefore, in the process of selection and use, it is necessary to fully consider its operational reliability, and take corresponding measures to ensure its stable and reliable operation.
In summary, electric butterfly valves have a wide range of application prospects in industrial fluid control, and their performance evaluation is the key to ensure their normal operation. With the continuous improvement of industrial automation, electric butterfly valves, as an important fluid control equipment, will play an increasingly important role in various fields. Therefore, sufficient attention needs to be paid to the selection, use and maintenance of electric butterfly valves to ensure that they can maximize their benefits in industrial production.
