Remote Control Valves
Valve remote control system is a convenient system which make it possible to operate the valves installed in the cargo and/or ballast tanks from the remote wheelhouse using only push buttons on the central control console. This system is consisted of several parts such as control console, hydraulic power unit, solenoid valve cabinet, butterfly valves with hydraulic actuators and etc.. Typical application is for the cargo and/or ballast tanks of the vessel, storage tanks or mud room or ballast tanks of FPSO. Specification of the main components are as follows:
- Hydraulic Power Unit
- Solenoid Valve Cabinet
- Control Console
- Butterfly Valve
- Hydraulic Actuator
- Emergency Hand Pump
The hydraulic remote control of valve is made in order to enable operating all the valves in the irrigation project from a central control point, mostly (but not necessarily) from the pump site.
The control is executed by manual or automatic (electronic) means located in the control center, that sending "open" or "close" commands to the valves.
This publication does not refer to the various aspects of control means selection but rather considers the "command" as pressure applied to or relieved from the start point of the control tube, regardless of the device used to do it.
A Hydraulic Relay should be added to the basic hydraulic valve, in order to enable opening and closure of the valve by the local pressure. The relay is activated by increase or decreasing the pressure in the control tube- which is done much faster than transporting all the water of the valve's control chamber long distance to the control center, through small-diameter tube.
We also supply actuators for a multitude of applications where the demands are high when it comes to safe operation and reliability.
