The Model BV28 Power Cylinder Operated Valve is designed to be used where minimum pressure drop is required or applications where it is not practical to use the flowing stream as the power medium to operate a valve.
Because the main piston is controlled externally, and by reason of the 45° body design, pressure drop through these valves is extremely low.
Standard power cylinders are designed to operate on 30 psi (207 kPa) minimum for full stroke and are limited to a maximum pressure of 100 psi (689 kPa).
The power cylinder may be operated with electric pneumatic pilot valves to control application or removal of pressure from the cylinder.
Features
Precision flow rate and batch control
Modular construction - all internal parts including seat ring can be removed with the cylinder assembly without disturbing line connections.
No diaphragms or stuffing boxes
45° body design assures high capacity
Positive shut-off
Linear control characteristics with uniform response speed
Automatic check valve - no reverse flow
Fail-safe closes on loss of electrical power
Characterized ports for better low flow response
Extremely low pressure drop
Atmospheric vent prevents mixing of line fluid and power cylinder operating fluid
