Control Valves

A control valve is a valve used to control fluid flow by varying the size of the flow passage as directed by a signal from a controller. This enables the direct control of flow rate and the consequential control of process quantities such as pressure, temperature, and liquid level.
A control valve is one of the most important parts of the control loop. The main function is regulating pressure, temperature, flow rate, or other variables of the process medium in the industry.

Introduction

Application


The control valve is the most common final control device in the process, The control valve regulates the flow of a fluid, such as gas, steam, water, or chemical mixture, to compensate for load disturbances and make the controlled process variable as close as the desired setpoint.

There are three typical types of actuated control valves in the process, pneumatically actuated, electric actuated/motorized actuated, and hydraulic actuated. The working principles of the valve are similar, but a bit different from the actuator part with different ways to operate.
