Can a programmable valve be replaced with another type of valve?

Can the PSA programmable valve be replaced with another valve? Why?
No, it’s not allowed – the programmable valve operates too frequently
Valves that require frequent operation are generally equipped with programmable valves
The term \"programmable valve\" is an informal way of referring to valves used in the PSA process; in reality, they are fast-opening and closing valves with six levels of sealing. They switch between the molecular sieve towers based on instructions from the control system, and they operate at a high frequency. The valves used by Huaxi, Tianyi, and Southwest are all the same type – they are cheap rubber-sealed globe valves that are not wear-resistant, requiring frequent replacement of the rubber seals, which is extremely troublesome. Ball valves can completely replace them, so there’s no need to believe what the manufacturers say.
1. It means that a ball valve can be used as a substitute for a programmable valve. 2. Is it widely used as a substitute these days? 3. What are the prices of the two? 4. Additionally, what type of sealing is used for the valve seat of a programmable valve? I hope you can offer your guidance:lol:lol
