For hazardous locations, pneumatic options are preferred; if no air supply is available, electric options can also be used
Our company specializes in pneumatic valves, which are convenient to use
If pneumatic is available, electric ones are generally not used, as electric valves are expensive. . . Electric power is used only in special cases
Electric drives are generally used in more important locations; for ordinary locations, a starter is sufficient
Theoretically, this seems possible; it depends on your location. We need to analyze the actual situation in terms of installation and cost.
For areas where explosion protection is required, pneumatic options are preferred; however, in the absence of a gas supply, electric options are the only choice
In places such as chemical plants where explosion protection is required, pneumatic valves are chosen; electric valves with explosion-proof motors are expensive. Power plants and sewage treatment plants mainly use electric valves, so you don’t have to worry about them being useless.
In areas where gas is required for the process, pneumatic systems should be preferred. Without an air source, only electric operation is possible.
For emergency shutdown, a pneumatic valve should be used, as it can close quickly.
