Electric valves, also known as motorized or electrically actuated valves, have become essential components in numerous industries due to their ability to provide precise control in automation systems. They are widely used in applications such as water treatment, HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning), chemical processing, and oil and gas industries. This article delves into the workings, types, advantages, and diverse applications of electric valves, emphasizing their critical role in modern industrial operations.

    What is an Electric Valve?

    An electric valve is a type of valve that is operated by an electric actuator. The electric actuator converts electrical energy into mechanical motion to open or close the valve. These valves are often integrated into automated control systems, allowing remote or automated control over fluid or gas flow. The system consists of two primary parts： the valve body, which regulates the flow of a substance, and the electric actuator, which controls the valve’s movement based on input signals.
