Butterfly Valve With Pneumatic Actuators: Pros & Cons
Butterfly valves, when paired with pneumatic actuators, create a powerful and efficient flow control system. This combination offers several advantages over traditional manual valves, making them a popular choice in various industries.
Let’s explore the key aspects of this type of actuated valve, helping you understand its role in various industrial applications.
What Is a Butterfly Valve with Pneumatic Actuators?
What is a butterfly valve with pneumatic actuators? A butterfly valve with pneumatic actuators is a quarter-turn valve that controls fluid flow through a pipe. It has a disc mounted on a rotating shaft.
When the valve is closed, the disc blocks the passage of the fluid, and when it’s open, the disc rotates to allow the fluid to pass through. The butterfly valve actuator ensures smooth operation and enhances the overall performance of the valve in various settings.
Pros of Using a Butterfly Valve With Pneumatic Actuators
Rentable
Compared to some actuated valves, butterfly valves with pneumatic actuators are generally less expensive to purchase and maintain. Pneumatic systems are simpler, and Pans Valve utilizes efficient production practices to deliver exceptional value.
Easy to Operate
Pneumatic actuators eliminate the need for manual control. This simplifies operation, especially for remote or hard-to-reach valves. Pans Valve ensures compatibility and smooth operation between our butterfly valves and actuators.
Fast Operation
Pneumatic systems offer quick response times, making them ideal for applications requiring rapid flow control. This is particularly relevant in automation processes.
Faible entretien
Butterfly valves with pneumatic actuators have fewer moving parts than some alternatives, reducing the need for frequent maintenance. This translates to lower life-cycle costs.
Compact design
Butterfly valves are inherently space-saving compared to other types. This compactness is further enhanced by the pneumatic actuator design, making them ideal for applications with limited space.
Wide Range of Applications
Their versatility allows butterfly valves with pneumatic actuators to be used in various industries, including water treatment, chemical processing, power generation, and HVAC systems. Pans Valve offers valves and actuators suitable for diverse pressures and temperatures.
Cons of Using a Butterfly Valve With Pneumatic Actuators
Not Ideal for Throttling
Butterfly valves are primarily for on/off flow control, not for fine-tuning flow. For applications requiring precise flow regulation, consider other valve types.
Pressure Drop
The disc position in a butterfly valve can create a pressure drop in the flow path. This may not be suitable for all applications. Pans Valve can help you choose the right valve size to minimize pressure drop in your specific situation.
Reliance on Compressed Air
Pneumatic systems require a reliable compressed air supply. If air pressure fluctuates, valve operation can be affected.
