Valve
Valves are devices used to control the flow of fluids (liquids, gases, steam, etc.) by opening, closing, or partially obstructing passageways. They are widely used in various industries including chemical, petroleum, natural gas, water treatment, and pharmaceuticals. Valves come in different types based on their structure and function, such as ball valves, gate valves, butterfly valves, globe valves, and control valves, each with specific applications and advantages.
With technological advancements, smart valves are increasingly used in industrial applications. Smart valves integrate sensors, actuators, and controllers to enable remote monitoring, automatic adjustment, and fault diagnosis, enhancing system automation and operational efficiency. Smart valves can automatically adjust flow, temperature, and pressure as needed, effectively reducing energy consumption and operating costs while improving system reliability and safety.
