Suoraventtiililämmönvaihdin

A suoraventtiili, or direct-acting valve, is a type of industrial valve where the actuating force is directly applied to the valve closure element, such as a poppet or ball. Unlike pilot-operated valves that use a smaller pilot valve to control the flow to an actuator, a suoraventtiili relies on the pressure of the fluid itself or an external mechanical force to move the valve stem and thereby open or close the valve. This direct mechanical linkage simplifies the valve's design and often leads to faster response times.

These valves are commonly employed in applications where quick operation is essential or where the fluid pressure is sufficient to overcome the valve's sealing forces. They are found in various industries, including manufacturing, hydraulics, and pneumatics. The simplicity of their construction can also translate to lower manufacturing costs and easier maintenance compared to more complex valve types. However, suoraventtiilit may require a higher actuating force, and their performance can be more susceptible to variations in fluid pressure or the presence of debris. The sealing mechanism is critical in ensuring leak-tight operation, and different designs exist, such as poppet valves with O-rings or ball valves with resilient seats. The selection of a suoraventtiili depends on factors like operating pressure, fluid type, required flow rate, and environmental conditions.
