I. Core Functions and Typical Applications
TheDN50 pneumatic angle valveis a valve with an angular structure driven by a pneumatic actuator, designed for industrial fluid control. Its key features include:
• Precise Flow Control: Automated operation via compressed air, suitable for high-pressure (e.g., 10 bar) and high-temperature environments.
• Space-Optimized Design: The Y-shaped angular structure redirects fluid flow by 90°, reducing the need for pipe bends and saving installation space (18–22% shorter than inline valves).
• Multi-Media Compatibility: Handles acids, oils, water, gases, steam, and other media, widely used in chemical, energy, and food processing industries.
II. Key Technical Specifications
1. Material and Corrosion Resistance
• Valve Body: Typically made of 304/316 stainless steel or cast steel (e.g., GS-C25), resistant to acid-base corrosion for harsh conditions.
• Sealing Materials: Equipped with EPDM, PTFE, or Viton seals; some models are FDA-certified for food-grade applications.
2. Structure and Connection Types
• Angular Flow Path: Reduces flow resistance by 45%, minimizes turbulence, and improves flow coefficient (e.g., Cv value of 580 for DN80 models).
• Connection Interfaces: Supports threaded, flanged, or welded connections, compatible with DN50 (2-inch) piping systems.
3. Actuator and Control
• Pneumatic Drive: Single-acting (spring-return) or double-acting (pneumatic open/close) actuators for fast response and high precision.
• Control Signals: Integrates 4–20 mA current signals or position feedback devices for remote automation.
4. Pressure and Temperature Ranges
• Pressure Ratings: Covers PN16 to PN40 (1.6–4.0 MPa), with some models supporting higher pressures.
• Temperature Adaptability: Standard models withstand -20°C to +180°C; high-temperature variants reach 450°C.
III. Typical Application Fields
1. Chemical and Petrochemical Industries
• Used in reactors and storage tanks for material discharge or transfer, handling corrosive media under high pressure.
• Example: Controlling catalyst injection flow in polymer production.
2. Food and Pharmaceutical Industries
• Sanitary stainless steel models meet CIP (Clean-in-Place) requirements for liquid batching or steam control.
• Example: Regulating steam heating temperature in dairy production lines.
3. Energy and Environmental Protection
• Adjusts flow in boiler feedwater systems, steam pipelines, or wastewater treatment for chemical dosing.
• Example: Suppressing water hammer effects in LNG terminal cryogenic pipelines.
4. Construction Machinery and Piping Systems
• Replaces traditional bends to reduce leakage risks and pressure drops (37% lower Cv coefficient).
• Example: Directing hydraulic oil flow in excavator systems.
IV. Selection and Customization Guidelines
1. Parameter Matching
• Confirm media type, pressure, temperature, and flow requirements; select materials (e.g., Hastelloy for strong corrosives) and pressure ratings accordingly.
• Example: High-temperature steam systems require cast steel bodies with metal seals.
2. Actuator Configuration
• Choose single- or double-acting actuators based on response speed needs; verify air supply pressure (typically 0.4–0.7 MPa).
• Example: Double-acting actuators with high-frequency solenoid valves for rapid opening/closing.
3. Additional Features
• Explosion-proof design: Suitable for flammable environments (e.g., Ex d IIC T6 certification).
• Smart controls: Integrate position sensors or intelligent heating systems to prevent media crystallization.
4. Customization Services
• Some manufacturers offer non-standard customization, such as adjusting flow path curvature, optimizing sealing structures, or expanding interface sizes (DN15–DN300).
