An electric flanged butterfly valve is a crucial component in fluid control systems, providing reliable and efficient management of fluid flow in various industrial applications. Designed for both on/off control and throttling of fluid flow, this valve is particularly suited for pipelines where space and operational efficiency are key considerations. With the increasing demand for automated control systems, the electric flanged butterfly valve has become an essential choice for industries such as water treatment, oil and gas, HVAC, and chemical processing.

Design and Functionality

The electric flanged butterfly valve features a simple yet highly effective design. It consists of a circular disc (the butterfly) mounted on a rotating shaft, with flanges on both sides that allow it to be securely attached to the pipeline. The electric actuator is connected to the valve, providing the necessary power to rotate the disc and adjust the flow of fluids. This automated control makes it a popular choice in applications where manual operation would be inefficient or impractical.

When the valve is in the fully closed position, the butterfly disc blocks the flow completely, preventing any fluid from passing through. When fully open, the disc is positioned parallel to the pipeline, allowing for maximum flow. The intermediate positions allow for throttling, offering precise control of the flow rate, which is vital for many industrial processes.
