Beside a hightemperature steam pipeline in a chemical plant, an engineer notices that a valve is hard to close and a faint hiss of escaping steam. Viewed through an engineer’s eyes, this article explains how valve actuators work, analyzes cause–effect chains such as pressure fluctuations and seal aging, and discusses solutions like electric actuators. It also touches on material selection, safety standards and how to improve reliability.
Electrically operated valves use electric actuators for precise flow control. Explore common valve issues (leaks, delays), root causes, and how automated valves improve safety and meet industry standards.
This article highlights Yuantong Industrial’s participation at the HKPCA Show in Shenzhen, showcasing advanced fluid-control valve solutions for PCB and smart manufacturing industries. It covers product strengths, certifications, and how Yuantong supports AI-driven electronics production.
