Principle of pneumatic control valve

As a key component used in industrial fluid control, pneumatic control valve plays a vital role in achieving precise control of the fluid medium in pipelines. It drives the opening and closing of the valve through the pneumatic actuator, thereby achieving precise control of medium flow, excitation, temperature and other parameters.

Working principle of pneumatic control valve
The pneumatic control valve is mainly composed of two parts: pneumatic actuator and control valve body. The pneumatic actuator is the power source for driving the valve to open and close, usually composed of pneumatic diaphragm, cylinder or pneumatic motor. When the control signal acts on the pneumatic actuator, the actuator generates corresponding thrust or torque, driving the valve core in the control valve body to move up and down in the valve seat, thereby changing the opening of the valve and achieving the regulation of the medium flow.

Structural features of pneumatic control valve
1. Compact and light: The pneumatic control valve has a compact structure, small size, light weight, and is easy to install and maintain.
2. Fast response: The pneumatic actuator has a fast response speed and can meet the needs of fast control of fluid medium.

3. Precise control: By precisely controlling the output force or torque of the pneumatic actuator, the valve opening can be precisely adjusted, thereby achieving precise control of parameters such as medium flow and pressure excitation.
4. Wide range of applications: Pneumatic control valves are suitable for various fluid media and working conditions, such as high temperature, low temperature, high pressure, corrosive media, etc.
5. Reliability: The control valve has a simple structure, no wearing parts, stable and reliable operation, and long service life.
