Massaflow onder controle De meting van een gasstroom is onafhankelijk van de temperatuur en
de druk, een procesgas kan dus stabiel en reproduceerbaar zijn. Massaflowregelaars bevatten een PID-regelaar en kunnen aangestuurd
worden via een normsignaal of veldbus. Massaflowmeters hebben geen
actuators en dienen enkel om massaflows te meten. Control valve strokes proportionally Positioning valves can be combined with pneumatic, motorized,
piezoelectric or solenoid actuators. The main differences between
the various actuation principles are type of media separation,
dynamic and force properties. Solenoid-operated positioning valves
are known in practice as proportional valves and cover the nominal
diameter range below 25 mm. Open and closed control loops can be
developed using proportional valves. Open control loops control the
valve without feedback signal, while closed control loops control
the difference between the set-point and actual values. Switching
solenoid valves, which are normally closed, form the basis for
Brkert proportional valves. Direct-acting proportional valves
receive their feed below their seat, while servo-assisted models
receive their feed above their seat.
