What is the direction of flow?
With no air to the actuator (closed position) the flow is as below.
When you apply the air to the actuator the valve will turn through 90° anti-clockwise (open position) to give the following flow path
The valve will return to the close position when the air is removed.
What is a Pneumatic Actuated Valve?
Actuated valves are operated using a pneumatic actuator that automatically opens and/or closes a valve without the need for someone to go over and turn the valve. This is especially useful when the valves are in an awkward place to operate or get to.
The Prisma pneumatic actuator is a rack and pinion style of actuator that operates through 90 degrees when air is applied to the ports.
How does the pneumatic Actuator work?
A pneumatic (or air) actuators has 2 ports, 1 for open and 1 for close. The actuator is designed so that when air applied to the open port the pistons are pushed away from the pinion, towards the end caps, and the teeth on the pistons turn the cam on the piston to open the valve (Normally Anti-clockwise). When the air is applied to the close port the pistons are pushed back towards the pinion which the closes the valve (normally clockwise). When the valve is single acting the close cycle is powered by springs so to give a fail close operation should there be loss of air due to a compressor failure our power cut.
What pressure air is required to operate the actuators?
We generally size up the actuators using 6 bar air pressure, but we can supply for air pressures between 4 and 8 bar..
What is a 3 Way L Port Ball Valve?
A 3 Way L Port Ball Valve fitted with Prisma Single Acting Actuator is designed to control the flow of liquids or gases within a piping system. The 'L' shape indicates that it can divert flow in two directions, making it versatile for many applications. These valves are ideal for mixing or distributing fluids because they can move between different channels smoothly. Furthermore, their stainless steel construction ensures durability and resistance to corrosion, which is essential in many industries.
Benefits of Using Prisma Single Acting Actuator
The integration of a Prisma Single Acting Actuator elevates the performance of the 3 Way L Port Ball Valve. This actuator is designed for reliability and efficiency, providing quick and precise control over the valve's position. Because it operates using a single source of power, it is energy-efficient. Additionally, this actuator is easy to install and maintain, making it a practical choice for both new installations and upgrades in existing systems.
Applications in Various Industries
The actuated stainless 3 Way L Port Ball Valve is suited for a variety of industries including petrochemical, water treatment, and food processing. In these sectors, it helps manage and direct fluid flow, enabling optimal system performance. Because of its durability and versatility, you can trust this valve to perform effectively, withstand harsh conditions, and meet specific operational demands. Therefore, it stands out as a reliable solution for effective fluid management.
