Electric Three-Way Control Valve

  • DKZ electric actuator accepts unified standard signals (0-10 mA DC or 4-20 mA DC); valve opening directly proportional to the control signal
  • Converging and diverging types; replaces two single-seat or double-seat control valves; compact and economical
  • DN25-300, PN1.6-6.4 MPa; 30:1 rangeability; -100 °C to +600 °C

Overview

ZAZQ(X) electric three-way control valve is available in converging and diverging types. It consists of a DKZ electric actuator and a three-way converging or diverging valve body. Driven by electric power, it accepts the unified standard signal of 0-10 mA DC or 4-20 mA DC, and the valve opening corresponds to the operating signal. The converging valve merges two fluid streams into one, while the diverging valve splits one fluid stream into two. The converging and diverging valves can only be selected correspondingly; however, when DN ≤ 80, the converging valve can be used for diverging applications. It can replace two single-seat or double-seat control valves, saving investment and occupying less space. Three-way control valves are commonly used for regulating two media in heat exchangers and for simple ratio control.
