A flow control valve helps to ensure the safe and precise regulation of the fluid or compressed air, natural gas, steam and water etc. proportional flow control valves help to compensate for the disturbances in the control chain by delivering accurate and precise control over the flow rate and other process variables including pressure, temperature etc.
The compact design of proportional solenoid valves and accuracy are the factors for which they are widely used in medical and industrial applications, where the user has to keep accuracy as the first priority for the precise operations of the fluid systems or equipment. That’s why they are commonly used in hydraulic systems to achieve efficient and expected performance.
Take a look at the following points to know about the need for a flow valve:
Saves Energy by Reducing the Loss:
In a hydraulic system, a proportional flow control valve ensures the correct flow rate of the fluid and brings consistency to the flow so that the system can outperform. The presence of an electronic flow control valve provides the user with variable control over the flow rate of the fluid as per the need of a specific process.
In manufacturing firms, the manufacturers have to keep an eye on all the expenses to keep the costs low. In this regard, proportional flow control valves serve the key role of reducing the consumption of energy.
A flow control valve installed in a hydraulic system enables the user to use the right amount of energy. For instance, whenever a hydraulic system has to lift up a heavy weight then it uses a high amount of pressure and energy to lift up that weight but if it has to lift up a less heavy weight then if it uses the same pressure and energy to lift this weight up, then the excess amount of pressure and energy will go in waste. This waste will cost an extra amount to the manufacturer. For this reason, it’s crucial to use the correct amount of energy and this accuracy can be maintained by utilizing a flow adjustment valve.
Provides Safety:
In manufacturing firms, the manufacturers have to utilize an authentic and adaptable hydraulic solution for performing various tasks such as lifting heavy weights and operating different types of machinery or hydraulic tools. Nowadays, proportional flow control valves come in different sizes and shapes and designs to fulfil the design and high controllability needs of different systems.
As we know that manufacturing units contain various types of expensive tools and equipment. They need to have strong control over all the processes to maintain a safe environment. The installed electronically controlled valves empower the users to have effective control over flow rate and pressure as per the need to provide an element of safety.
Final Words:
The speed, accuracy, repeatability and high controllability are a few benefits of using proportional flow control valves in various hydraulic applications. It also enhances the efficiency of a process by reducing waste and keeping the chances of error low.
