An Explosion-Proof Control Valve is designed for use in systems where there is a risk of combustible gases or substances, such as in dust removal systems or explosive pipelines. It serves as a safety device to manage pressure and prevent explosions by maintaining safe operating conditions.
There are two main types: horizontal and vertical explosion-proof control valves. Horizontal valves are installed on top of cylinders, while vertical valves are mounted on the cylinder itself. Both types feature an explosion-proof diaphragm cover, which must be carefully selected based on the operating pressure and the content of combustible materials to ensure proper system function.
These valves are commonly used in hydraulic systems of equipment that lack mechanical locking systems, such as large mechanical stages, lifts, elevators, and car testing and maintenance girders. They are essential for safety, helping to prevent accidents and meet CE certification requirements. The valves are valued for their simple, compact design and ease of connection to the execution unit.
