Pneumatic Actuated Valve
African Valve is the leading Pneumatic Valve manufacturers in Nigeria. It is a type of valve that is used to control the flow of compressed air in a pneumatic system. They play a crucial role in the industrial applications, helping in regulating, controlling and directing the air flow to the actuator. They operated using compressed air or gas that control the valve position, when the air pressure is applied the actuator moves to open or close the valve and allow precise flow control. They consist of a valve body, actuator, and control system. The actuator is powered by compressed air or gas and is responsible for open or closing the flow path.
Working principle of Pneumatic valves:
They use compressed or gas to control the valve opening and closing mechanism.
By controlling the direction of airflow, these valves determine the movement of the piston, allowing for precise control over the actuator's motion.
They consist of a sensor or and a control system that monitors the desired position of the valve and adjusts the air flow accordingly.
Types of Pneumatic Valves:
●Pneumatic Ball Valve
●Pneumatic Butterfly Valve
●Pneumatic Gate Valve
●Pneumatic Knife Gate Valve
Advantages:
●They provide quick response time in opening and closing of the valve
●They are highly reliable, providing consistent and repeatable performance
●Simple operation
●Provide safety as their is absence of electric sparks in these valves
●Cost effective
●Low maintenance and easy option as they have some simple switches, sensors or controllers
●They can be used in high temperature operations
●They are made up of corrosive resistance material which makes them widely used in the application involving corrosive fluids.
