Analysis on the development of electric butterfly valve technology widely used in petrochemical industry

With the continuous development and upgrading of the petrochemical industry, electric butterfly valves, as one of the important representatives of fluid control valve equipment, have also been widely used in their fields of use. This paper will focus on the development of electric butterfly valve technology widely used in the petrochemical industry.

The characteristics of electric butterfly valve technology

The electric butterfly valve used in the motor, electrical appliances and stroke control devices, etc., have a relatively independent equipment state, through the cable to complete information communication, can easily operate nearby and remote control operation, flexible operation, accurate opening control; At the same time, the equipment has the characteristics of low starting current, small electrostatic force, low power consumption, long service life and low energy consumption, which makes it become an excellent equipment in the field of fluid control.

Second, the application of electric butterfly valve technology in the petrochemical industry

In the petrochemical industry, electric butterfly valves are usually used to cut off the media and adjust the flow, such as in the oil refining, chemical, metallurgy, electricity, pharmaceutical and other fields, the transmission of raw materials and products and the processing process need to use electric butterfly valves for flow regulation and automatic control.

3. Analysis of technical progress

① Performance Upgrade

At present, the control performance of the electric butterfly valve continues to improve, and a variety of intelligent electric butterfly valves have been developed, such as sound and light alarm systems, explosion-proof electric butterfly valves, frequency conversion electric butterfly valves, PID controller electric butterfly valves and so on. These electric butterfly valves can be adjusted with digital PID precision for automatic control.

② Structural optimization

In terms of the electric butterfly valve structure, due to the relatively harsh environmental requirements for the use of equipment in the petrochemical industry, the requirements for the structure are also relatively high. Therefore, the current electric butterfly valve in addition to the use of door butterfly valve structure, but also developed a variety of new butterfly valve structure, such as eccentric butterfly valve, double eccentric butterfly valve, three eccentric butterfly valve, bump butterfly valve and so on.

On the basis of ensuring the basic performance, these new butterfly valves further improve the accuracy and other performance indicators, making the preservation of flow or adjustment of temperature and pressure more accurate.

③ Intelligence

With the continuous development and maturity of artificial intelligence and Internet of Things technology, the petrochemical industry has also put forward higher requirements for the production, manufacturing and use management of electric butterfly valves. Therefore, gradually from the traditional mechatronics to the direction of intelligent, automated transformation, launched the intelligent electric butterfly valve products.

Through the introduction of cloud computing, big data, artificial intelligence and other technologies, the electric butterfly valve can send data through the Internet and achieve self-management and regulation, so as to achieve more efficient and accurate control, and improve the production efficiency and quality of petrochemical enterprises.

Fourth, future development trend

It can be predicted that the future application of electric butterfly valve technology in the petrochemical industry will be more extensive and in-depth. In terms of intelligence, automation and refinement, electric butterfly valves will continue to play an important role in ensuring production safety and improving production efficiency for the petrochemical industry.

From the perspective of technological development, electric butterfly valve technology will also be further developed in the future, and the following trends may appear:

① Diversification of products

In the future, the electric butterfly valve products will be more and more diversified, not only covering different flow rates, different materials, different temperatures, different pressures and different media, different precision and other specifications and model options, but also will provide a variety of driving methods and prevent electromagnetic interference, chemical corrosion resistance and other more specialized functions.

② The degree of intelligence continues to improve

The daily management of the electric butterfly valve adopts the Internet of Things technology platform to realize the application of intelligent technology such as online monitoring, intelligent control and sensor data acquisition of the electric butterfly valve. The intelligent control part is more reasonably applied to the electric butterfly valve to ensure the stability and efficiency of the production process, in order to achieve the purpose of reducing costs and increasing output value.

③ High efficiency and energy saving

At present, the application of electric butterfly valves in the petrochemical industry has been very wide, and more applications in the future will be in specific environmental conditions, requiring higher performance and more reliable working conditions. For example, the future electric butterfly valve to meet the requirements of energy saving and environmental protection; Moreover, it is necessary to achieve efficient work and ensure the sustainable development of economic benefits of enterprises in the petrochemical industry.

In short, with the development of The Times and the progress of industrial technology, electric butterfly valve technology will continue to adapt to the needs of the petrochemical industry and continue to innovate and develop. At the same time that the quality, performance and intelligence of butterfly valve products continue to improve, the application field of electric butterfly valve will gradually expand, so as to achieve more protection for the petrochemical industry.
