Release time:2024-12-15 21:22:23

    Pneumatic butterfly valves are essential components in various industrial processes, offering efficient flow control for liquids and gases. As part of a broader category of valves, butterfly valves are named for their disc-shaped closure element, which rotates around a central axis to regulate flow. When powered by pneumatic systems, these valves provide quick and precise operation, making them ideal for numerous applications. This article delves into the functionality, advantages, and various applications of pneumatic butterfly valves.

    Functionality of Pneumatic Butterfly Valves

Pneumatic butterfly valve

    At its core, a pneumatic butterfly valve consists of a circular disc (the "butterfly") mounted on a shaft, which is connected to a pneumatic actuator. The actuator uses compressed air to rotate the disc, either fully open or fully closed, thereby controlling the flow of the medium passing through the valve. When the disc is parallel to the flow direction, the valve is open; when it is perpendicular, the valve is closed.
