Electric Pressure-Balanced Cage Control Valve

  • Cage-guided trim distributes differential pressure across multiple stages, reducing cavitation, erosion and turbulence damage
  • PSL or 381L linear-motion electric actuator with built-in servo amplifier; 4-20 mA DC / 1-5 V DC input, direct valve positioning
  • Straight-through body with single-guided plug for viscous, suspended-solid and granular media; DN20-300, PN10-45 MPa

Overview

ZDHS electric high-pressure cage control valve consists of a PSL or 381L series linear-motion electric actuator and a high-pressure cage-type control valve body. It was developed to solve the severe problems of short service life, stem breakage and bushing detachment commonly encountered with control valves under high pressure or high differential pressure with severe cavitation and erosion. The cage-guided throttling design distributes the differential pressure across the cage, reducing cavitation, erosion and turbulence damage.

The electric actuator has an integrated structure with a built-in servo amplifier. The valve opening is controlled directly by applying the input control signal (4-20 mA DC or 1-5 V DC) together with the power supply, achieving regulation of process parameters such as pressure, flow, level and temperature. The straight-through body with a single-guided plug offers a simple flow path and low flow resistance. The valve is suitable for regulating high-viscosity fluids and media containing suspended solids and particles, preventing coking, adhesion and blockage. Overall, the valve features sensitive response, simple wiring, high capacity, compact size and high control accuracy.
