Warren Controls, a leading manufacturer of control valves and specialty fluid handling products, showcased its industry-leading electrically actuated, modulating, globe control valves with ARIA Series actuators this week.
The ARIA actuator is ideal for correcting commercial steam-fired water heaters that had previously been driven by oversized steam valves.
This accessory has been designed by Warren Controls specifically for their electrically actuated industrial control valves.
With its inherent 12-bit hall-effect feedback, the ARIA actuator delivers exceptional controllable linear resolution, exceeding 2,000 parts per inch.
This feature enables seamless auto-recalibration for achieving maximum valve flow coefficient (Max Cv) capacity as per the actual demand.
Users can select from three different calibration strokes: 10 millimetres (mm), 15 mm, and 20 mm, allowing precise adjustment to meet specific installation requirements.
Moreover, if additional capacity is needed, recalibrating the valve to its full stroke is straightforward.
Upon deployment, when the local water heater temperature controller signals 100 per cent demand, the valve operates within the designated calibrated stroke value, ensuring superior controllability and optimal performance.
