Control valves in a nutshell

This is how control valves work

Control valves play a central role in controlling and regulating flow rate, pressure, temperature and other process variables. They are crucial for the efficiency, safety and reliability of processes in industry, power stations and building services.

For example, globe valves are designed for accurately controlling fluid flow in a piping system. The opening degree of the valve determines the flow cross-section and, with that, the flow rate.

Control valves are available in very different designs, which are selected for the specific requirements (e.g. pressure and temperature). Key components of these valves are their control elements responsible for the movement of the valve obturator. They can be operated pneumatically, electrically or hydraulically and enable very precise process control. Another important aspect when operating control valves are the feedback loops. In these systems the current condition of a process is continuously measured and compared to the required setpoint. Any deviations are corrected by adjusting the valve, ensuring optimum control.

KSB control valves are not only absolutely reliable, they are also tailored to your individual requirements – be it for water, petrochemical or pharmaceutical products, cryogenic or corrosive fluids. Innovative thinking, the latest technologies and our experts’ know-how make it happen.
