Remote & Unmanned Locations

Ideal for remote pump stations or pipelines. As a leading butterfly valve supplier for infrastructure projects, we provide solutions that only require electrical wiring, eliminating the need for complex and costly compressed air systems.

Smart System Integration (SCADA/DCS)

Our intelligent actuators communicate directly with control systems, providing diagnostic data like cycle count, torque values, and fault alarms. The iso 5211 butterfly valve standard ensures perfect mechanical and electronic harmony.

Energy-Efficient Operation

Unlike pneumatic actuators which consume air constantly, electric actuators only draw power when moving. Our epoxy coated butterfly valves combined with efficient motors reduce lifetime operating costs and support green initiatives.

Outdoor & Cold Climates

Electric actuators eliminate the risk of frozen air lines and moisture contamination, making our low temperature butterfly valve assemblies exceptionally reliable for outdoor installations in cold weather environments.

Engineering for Uptime: A High-Reliability Solution for a Hyperscale Data Center

For a global cloud services provider, data center cooling is mission-critical. A single degree of temperature deviation can impact server performance, while an outage is catastrophic. They required a technologically advanced, ultra-reliable electric modulating valve for their chilled water cooling loops.

The Client: A Tier-IV Hyperscale Data Center Operator
The client was constructing a new 200-megawatt facility. The Head of Mechanical Engineering, Ms. Chen, was responsible for the entire liquid cooling infrastructure. "Our tolerance for failure is zero," she stated. "The valves controlling chilled water to our Computer Room Air Handler (CRAH) units must be precise, energy-efficient, and provide constant diagnostic feedback to our BMS. We needed more than a valve; we needed an engineered solution with guaranteed performance and documented quality at every stage."

For the hundreds of 8-inch (DN200) CRAH feed lines, they needed a partner who understood the granular details of valve manufacturing and intelligent automation.

The Technical Challenge: Precision, Longevity, and Data-Driven Reliability

Ensuring millisecond response and predictive failure analysis.
The challenge was multi-faceted: 1. **Precision:** The valves needed to modulate continuously with less than 1% signal deviation to maintain stable air temperatures. 2. **Longevity:** The valves would perform millions of micro-adjustments over their lifespan; every component had to be designed for high-cycle endurance. 3. **Data:** The actuator had to report its health, torque profile, and cycle count in real-time to the Building Management System for predictive maintenance.

The JRVAL Solution: An Integrated & Validated Engineering Protocol

We proposed a complete solution centered on our **Electric Actuated GGG40 Ductile Iron Lug Butterfly Valve**, but with a series of client-specified manufacturing and technology enhancements.

Metallurgical Control: High-Purity GGG40 Casting

We initiated the process with GGG40 (EN-GJS-400-15) ductile iron, but with enhanced specifications. The raw material charge was selected for high purity, with **Sulphur (S) content maintained below 0.015% and Phosphorus (P) below 0.05%**. Post-inoculation, we performed metallographic analysis on a test coupon from each batch, providing reports confirming a **ferritic matrix exceeding 95% with Type I & II nodularity**, ensuring maximum ductility and fatigue resistance against water hammer.

Precision Machining: Beyond Standard Tolerances

Understanding the demands of continuous modulation, we refined our machining process. The **ISO 5211 mounting flange was machined to a flatness of 0.04mm**, and its **perpendicularity to the stem bore was held within 0.02mm**. This extreme precision virtually eliminates eccentric loading on the actuator output shaft, ensuring smooth torque transmission and dramatically extending the life of the actuator's gearbox.

Hydrodynamic Optimization: Low-Torque Disc Design

Instead of a standard disc, we employed a **CFD-optimized, thin-profile disc** cast from CF8M stainless steel. The disc edge was then machined and polished to a **mirror finish (surface roughness Ra < 0.2μm)**. This design reduced hydrodynamic torque by 15% and minimized friction against the EPDM seat. The lower torque requirement allowed for a smaller, more energy-efficient actuator and significantly reduced seat wear over millions of cycles.

Intelligent Actuation: Brushless Motor & Non-Intrusive Setup

We selected a **smart electric actuator featuring a high-efficiency Brushless DC (BLDC) motor** for superior lifespan and precise speed control. The unit included an integrated digital positioner for 4-20mA modulating control and a **non-intrusive commissioning interface via Bluetooth**, allowing technicians to set parameters safely without opening the IP68-rated housing. Internal torque sensors were set to 120% of the measured seating torque, and the actuator was programmed to send a "high torque warning" to the BMS if this value was ever exceeded, enabling predictive maintenance before failure.

JRVAL didn't just sell us a valve; they delivered an engineered, fully-documented reliability solution. The material reports, the machining tolerance certificates, and the advanced actuator diagnostics give us the operational insight we need to guarantee 100% uptime. This is the new standard for mission-critical infrastructure.

Technical FAQ: Electric Ductile Iron Lug Butterfly Valves

Why choose a Ductile Iron valve over a standard Gray Cast Iron valve?

The primary reason is safety and durability. Ductile Iron (DI) possesses superior tensile strength and ductility, allowing it to bend and deform under stress rather than shattering. This makes it highly resistant to brittle fracture from system pressures, ground settlement, or water hammer—a critical advantage in water supply, fire protection, and buried applications.

What is the difference between GGG40 and GGG50 body materials?

Both are excellent ductile iron grades. GGG40 (EN-GJS-400-15) is the standard, offering good strength and high elongation (toughness). GGG50 (EN-GJS-500-7) provides significantly higher tensile strength with slightly less elongation. We recommend GGG50 for higher pressure applications (e.g., PN25) or systems with greater mechanical stress, while GGG40 is a robust and reliable choice for most PN10/16 applications.

What is the main benefit of a "Lug Style" butterfly valve?

The key benefit is its suitability for dead-end service. Each threaded lug hole allows the valve to be bolted to one flange while the other side of the pipeline is removed for maintenance. This isolates a section of the system without needing to drain the entire line. This feature is invaluable in industrial plants and complex piping networks.

How are these valves protected against corrosion?

Our standard protection is a high-performance Fusion Bonded Epoxy (FBE) coating, typically applied at a thickness of 250 microns. The valve body is heated and the epoxy powder is electrostatically applied, creating a durable, holiday-free barrier that provides excellent resistance to water, chemicals, and abrasion. For seawater or highly corrosive media, we offer specialized disc materials like Duplex Stainless Steel or Bronze.

What control signals and voltages are required for your electric actuators?

Our electric valves support two primary control methods: On/Off (Quarter-turn), operated by simply applying power, and Modulating Control, which uses a standard 4-20mA or 0-10V analog signal for precise positioning. They are available in various standard voltages, including AC 220V, AC 380V, and DC 24V, allowing direct integration with modern PLC, DCS, or Building Automation Systems (BAS).

What are the key features and safety options for your electric actuators?

Each unit is a fully integrated assembly. Key features include a manual override handwheel for emergency operation, electronic over-torque protection to prevent motor damage, and a clear visual position indicator. For critical applications, we offer optional fail-safe modules (battery backup) that automatically drive the valve to a pre-set safe position (open or closed) upon power loss. The standard housing is IP67 rated, with IP68 available for submersible conditions.
