self-operated control valve
A self-operated control valve is an automatic control valve that does not require an external power source (electricity or compressed air). Its core principle involves utilizing the pressure, temperature, or flow variations of the regulated medium as the driving energy. Through built-in sensing elements (such as diaphragms, bellows, or thermal bulbs), the valve plug is directly actuated to achieve autonomous regulation and control of process parameters.
The self-operated control valve features a compact structure, primarily consisting of the valve body, valve plug, valve seat, and the key self-operated actuator. Based on functionality, it is mainly categorized into three types: self-operated pressure control valves, self-operated temperature control valves, and self-operated flow control valves.
The main advantages of self-operated control valves produced by Kaiweixi Valve Group include their self-contained system, no need for external power or air supply, low operating costs, high safety and reliability, and simple installation. They are particularly suitable for applications where air or power supply is inconvenient, where explosion-proof requirements are stringent, or where only simple and stable control is required.
Self-operated control valves are an ideal choice for natural gas distribution, small boiler heating systems, storage tank pressure control, heating systems, and industrial installations in remote areas. They provide a simple, economical, and reliable solution for automatically stabilizing pressure, temperature, and other parameters, as well as limiting flow.
