Motorized Control Valves Are Useful In Controlling the Flow of Liquids and Gases in Many Heating and Cooling Systems
Motorized control valves are used in a wide range of industrial processes to control the flow of fluids. They are commonly used in heating and cooling systems, power plants, chemical plants, and other industries. They are also used in process automation. Electric actuated valves are required to maintain consistent operating levels in safe environments where pressure levels, extreme temperatures, noxious fumes, flammable elements, or other conditions may cause catastrophic failures that can lead to environmental disasters and human injury.
Automated actuated valves automatically return to fail-safe positions when conditions change, preventing damage to equipment or structures, accidents, and other harmful effects. Valves located in remote, inaccessible or dangerous places where manual operation is not possible and therefore a spring provides defined behavior to ensure valve movement even when the source of power is lost.

These spring-operated valves are ideal for safety reasons and can be specified with a specification such as "fail open" or "fail close". This means that when the power supply fails, a spring will force the valve to the closed position or the open position until the system is repowered. This is particularly useful for valves that are located in dangerous or toxic environments, such as those found in pharmaceutical production facilities, where the possibility of exposure to toxins could result in significant damage or even death. For these reasons, they are often specified with a specific torque that is needed to open or close the valve, as well as an automatic switch off when that level of force has been reached. A smart actuator can monitor this set point, allowing plant operators to detect an impending issue before it happens and take action. Smart Manufacturing, also known as Industry 4.0 or the fourth industrial revolution, is a manufacturing approach that leverages advanced technologies such as artificial intelligence, machine learning, the Internet of Things (IoT), and robotics to optimize the manufacturing process.
Torque monitoring and control are increasingly common features of new electric actuators. These devices monitor their input and output torque over time to give the operator a real-time reading of how much force they are using at any given moment. Emerson and BayoTech declared signing a multi-year strategic framework agreement in June 2022. Emerson will be delivering products, software and advanced automation technologies for building hydrogen units.
