Background
The return water system is a core part of central air conditioning circulation. Its operational stability and regulation accuracy directly affect the overall system energy efficiency and temperature control performance. In flammable, explosive environments such as petrochemical plants and hazardous goods warehouses, the return water system is required to deliver high-precision flow regulation while complying with strict explosion-proof safety standards. The GRAT Explosion-proof Electric Fixed Ball V-port Control Valve is well-suited for such demanding working conditions, enabling the air conditioning system to operate efficiently, stably and safely.
Key challenge
- Limited turndown ratio and hydraulic imbalance, which cause excessive flow at near-end pipelines, insufficient flow at far-end pipelines and increased energy consumption of main units.
- Severe internal leakage leading to ineffective heat exchange, as well as easy deformation of valve body and wear of sealing surfaces.
- Impurity accumulation inside flow passages results in valve core sticking and regulation failure, forming a vicious cycle.
- High explosion-proof grade is mandatory for hazardous environments, together with support for intelligent automatic regulation of the system.
