Control valves: function and importance in high-pressure applications
Control valves are components in industrial systems that are used to regulate the flow of media such as liquids or gases. They control the direction, in some cases the pressure and the quantity of the medium flowing through, which makes them indispensable for applications in hydraulics and pneumatics. In many industrial processes, they are responsible for precise control and regulation to ensure safe and efficient operation.
In high-pressure systems control valves play a key role. They have to withstand extreme pressures and at the same time enable precise control. This is especially crucial in industries such as oil and gas, mining and water hydraulics, where constant and controlled flow is critical to the safety and efficiency of processes.
KAMAT, one of the leading suppliers of high-pressure technology, offers customised solutions in the field of control valves. The specially developed high-pressure valves made by KAMAT stand out for their robustness, durability and high precision. They are able to function reliably even under extreme conditions and fulfil the requirements of a wide range of industrial applications. With decades of experience and state-of-the-art technology, KAMAT develops solutions that are precisely tailored to the individual needs of its customers.
Areas of application for control valves
Control valves are used in numerous industries. Their main task is to precisely control the flow of media and thus ensure the safe and efficient operation of systems. KAMAT control valves are used in the following industries, just to name a few:
- Inmining, control valves regulate the flow in hydraulic systems, ensuring smooth operation even under extreme conditions. This is particularly important for heavy machinery that is exposed to high loads.
- In oil and gas production, control valves are required to control the flow in pipelines and conveyor systems. This guarantees the function of the systems and enables oil and gas to be conveyed efficiently and safely, even under high pressure conditions.
- Inwater hydraulics, for example in high-pressure cleaning or water jet cutting as well as in presses and descaling, control valves enable precise control of the fluid flow. They ensure that the process is optimised to guarantee both functionality and efficiency in these systems.
Thanks to their precise control, control valves make a significant contribution to efficiency and safety in these industries. KAMAT offers specially customised valve solutions for these demanding applications that meet the requirements even under extreme operating conditions.
Types of control valves
Control valves regulate the flow rate and direction of the medium and therefore also the pressure if necessary. Depending on the area of application and technical requirements, there are various types of control valves that differ in function and design.
Directional control valves
They control the flow of media in high-pressure systems and can determine the direction, start and stop of a liquid or gas flow. The 2/2-way and 3/2-way directional control valves are the most common types:
- 2/2-way valves: These valves have two connections and two switching positions (open/closed). They open or close lines and can be actuated pneumatically, hydraulically or electrically. These valves are often used to block or release the flow in high-pressure applications.
- 3/2-way valves: These valves offer an additional function as they have three connections and two switching positions. They not only allow the medium to be released or blocked, but also diverted to another line. Control can also be pneumatic, hydraulic or electric, depending on the requirements of the system. These valves are particularly useful in more complex control systems where multiple pipework paths need to be controlled.
Technical specifications of KAMAT control valves
KAMAT control valves are characterised by their outstanding technical performance and adaptability to demanding high-pressure applications. They offer solutions for a wide range of industrial requirements, especially in high-pressure systems. Key technical specifications include:
- Maximum pressures: KAMAT control valves are designed for pressures of up to 3,500 bar, providing reliable control even in extreme high-pressure systems.
- Flow rates: With a maximum flow rate of up to 4000 l/min, they ensure an even and controlled distribution of fluids in industrial applications.
- ATEX certification: All KAMAT control valves are ATEX certified and therefore suitable for use in potentially explosive environments. This makes them a safe choice for hazardous working environments.
- Special materials: For applications with aggressive or special media, valves are available in specially adapted materials that are corrosion-resistant and durable.
Special advantages of KAMAT control valves
Robustness and durability
KAMAT control valves are known for their high durability and precision, even under extreme conditions. They are designed to function reliably even under the highest pressure loads and guarantee a long service life. This robustness makes them ideal for use in demanding industrial applications, such as in the oil and gas industry or in mining.
Multi-consumer systems
An outstanding advantage of KAMAT control valves is their ability to work efficiently in multi-consumer systems. This means that several consumers can be supplied simultaneously without impairing the performance of the system. This flexibility is particularly important in industrial systems that operate several parallel processes, such as in water hydraulics or high-pressure cleaning.
Customised solutions
KAMAT offers customised control valve solutions that are precisely tailored to the requirements of customer projects. Thanks to decades of experience and state-of-the-art technologies, KAMAT develops valves that not only meet the highest industrial standards, but are also perfectly tailored to the specific conditions of each application. This enables maximum efficiency and safety in any application.
