Choosing the Best 2-Way and 3-Way Electric Valves for Water & Gas
Nano-coated ultrathin corrosion-resistant electric valve
This ultrathin electric valve features a proprietary nano-ceramic coating less than 0.1 millimeters thick that bonds to stainless steel or titanium substrates. The nanolayer creates an impermeable barrier against aggressive chemicals, salt water, and abrasive particulates without adding bulk or weight. Its slim profile allows installation in compact manifolds and tight piping runs while delivering full ANSI-rated flow capacity. Engineers benefit from extended maintenance intervals, reduced risk of corrosive pitting, and consistent torque requirements, making it ideal for offshore platforms, chemical reactors, and microfluidic skids operating under extreme conditions.
High-pressure, self-cooling, millisecond-response electric valve
Designed for ultra-high-pressure applications up to 1,200 bar, this electric valve combines rapid actuation in under 10 milliseconds with an integrated self-cooling loop. A micro-channel coolant circuit circulates process fluid to dissipate heat generated during high-frequency cycling, preventing thermal drift and seal degradation. Engineers can program microsecond-precision opening profiles via CANopen or EtherCAT, enabling precise pressure regulation in hydraulic presses, gas compression trains, and testing rigs. The self-cooling feature eliminates external chillers, reducing skid complexity and energy consumption while maintaining stable performance under continuous heavy load.
Wireless mesh network smart electric valve
Leveraging low-power wide-area networking (LoRaWAN and proprietary mesh), this smart electric valve forms an autonomous wireless grid across industrial sites without new cabling. Each valve node forwards encrypted status updates and command messages, allowing remote zone grouping, broadcast overrides, and localized peer-to-peer control. Battery life exceeds five years in typical duty cycles, with solar-assist options for sunlit installations. Integrations with SCADA and IIoT platforms use standard MQTT or OPC UA protocols, enabling centralized scheduling, flow analytics, and firmware multicasting. Perfect for sprawling irrigation systems, mining operations, or brownfield retrofits where wiring costs are prohibitive.
ATEX/IECEx-certified explosion-proof electric valve
Designed for hazardous zones 1 and 2, this explosion-proof electric valve holds both ATEX and IECEx certifications, guaranteeing intrinsic safety in gas and dust environments. A ruggedized housing, flame-proof joints, and potting compound isolate internal electrical components from the process medium. External earthing terminals and redundant temperature sensors enhance safety compliance. Compatibility with Profibus PA, HART, and FOUNDATION ™ fieldbus allows seamless integration into petrochemical plants, offshore modules, and munitions facilities. Maintenance crews can perform live diagnostics and log retrieval via a sealed connector without breaching the flame barrier.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTION
Do You Have Any Question?
An electric valve is a control element that uses electricity as a power source and opens, closes, or regulates a valve through a built-in motor or actuator. It is typically integrated into automation systems for remote control of the flow, pressure, or temperature of fluids (gas, liquid, steam, etc.).
An electric valve receives control signals from a PLC, DCS, or host computer to drive the motor inside the valve to rotate or the actuator to move linearly, actuating the valve disc or gate, thereby changing the valve opening diameter and achieving flow regulation or rapid shutoff.
First, determine the media type, pressure, and temperature range. Then, select the valve body material (stainless steel, cast iron, etc.) and actuator model based on the required diameter, flow characteristics, torque requirements, and operating voltage (e.g., 24 VDC, 220 VAC).
Common voltages for electric valves on the market include 12 VDC, 24 VDC, 110 VAC, 220 VAC, and 380 VAC. Drive types are categorized as single-turn (ball valves, butterfly valves) and multi-turn (gate valves, globe valves). Reference the stroke and torque curves when selecting a model.
Before installation, ensure that the pipeline is free of impurities and properly supported. Ensure that the valve is in the manual open or closed position. When wiring, connect the power and control circuits strictly according to the wiring diagram, and adjust the limit switches or mechanical travel to the fully open or closed position.
