Control valves are a major component of many industries as it necessary regulating the flow of many items such as liquids, temperature, pressure, gas, air, steam, flow, etc.It uses the basic principles of physics. Valve remote control system is increasingly getting popularity in the market these days. It is a device which controls the fluid flow by changing the size of the flow passage through signals from remote by the controller. It uses hydraulic oil pressure, pneumatic pressure, and electricity for the power to achieve remote centralized control and position display of valves in the ship's piping systems. With its help, the valve can be set to any position, from fully opened to fully closed easily.

Benefits of using Valve Remote Control System

Using valve remote control system is really beneficial. Read on to know more about it.

1) It enhances the operational continuity

2) It is cost-effective and requires minimal maintenance
