Electric butterfly valves are essential components in modern industrial automation and fluid control systems. Their design and functionality make them ideal for regulating the flow of fluids in various applications, from water treatment to chemical processing. This article explores the working principles, advantages, and common applications of electric butterfly valves.
What is an Electric Butterfly Valve?
An electric butterfly valve consists of a circular disc or vane mounted on a rotating shaft within a pipe. The disc is positioned perpendicular to the flow of the fluid when closed and parallel when opened. The electric actuator connected to the valve controls this rotation, allowing for precise regulation of fluid flow.
