ACTUATED VALVES
 Introduction
Electrically or pneumatically actuated valves automate flow control, offering several advantages over manual valves, in cases like:
• Remote location of the valves.
• Information about the valve position (open-closed) is needed at all times.
• Significant torque.
• Synchronized operations, which make it impossible to operate different valves at the same time.
• Reliability/repetitive operations: to avoid the possibility of negligences.
• Positioning (modulation).
• Security: to avoid undesired operations.
Electric actuation
• The actuator operates by means of a motor switched on by electrical signals.
• No need for compressed air installation neither electrovalve.
• Indicated for applications with one or few actuators.
• Operation time medium/high (min. 7-8 s), effective to avoid water hammers.
• Reduced weight and dimensions.
• Not indicated for environments with explosion possibilities, very wet or saline ones.
• Life: 20.000 guaranteed cycles.
Pneumatic actuation
• The actuator is based on an input/output mechanism of compressed air to the inner chambers.
• A power line and compressed air installation are required.
• Ideal for applications with several actuators.
• Low operation time (adjustable).
• Not indicated for outside installations or when the actuator has to be installed far away from the control center (difficulties in the air transport).
• Life: 1.000.000 guaranteed cycles.
• Maximum security against supply failures thanks to the the springs (spring return).
