The Functions of Marine Valves in Ship Systems


The normal operation of the valve ensures the stability and safety of the ship system. They can control the fluids on the ship, including water, oil and gas. On a ship, there are many places that need fluid flow, such as ship power system, water treatment system, fire system, etc. The function of the valve is to control the flow speed, flow and direction of the fluid to ensure the normal operation of the ship system.        

Overview

Marine valves play a very important role in the ship system, mainly in the following aspects:

1. Control the pressure, flow and flow direction of the fluid in the pipeline of the ship:

Valve is a fluid pipeline control device, by connecting or cutting off the circulation of pipeline media, change the direction of flow of media, adjust the pressure and flow of media to meet the needs of the ship system operation.

2. Ensure the normal operation of the ship system:

In many systems of the ship, such as bilge water system, ballast water system, cooling system, fire fighting system, etc., all need to use the valve to ensure the normal operation of the system. By adjusting the opening degree of the valve, it can control the flow of various fluids in the ship's system, so as to ensure the normal operation of the ship.

3. Protect ship equipment and personnel safety:

Valves can control the pressure and flow of the ship system to avoid excessive pressure or flow leading to system damage or accidents. At the same time, in the fire and leakage and other abnormal conditions, the valve can quickly cut off the pipeline to avoid the expansion of the accident, to protect the ship equipment and personnel safety.

4. Improve the efficiency and economic benefits of the ship:

Valves can adjust the flow and pressure of liquid or gas to ensure the normal operation of the ship's system, improve efficiency and economic benefits. For example, by adjusting the opening degree of the valve, the fuel consumption and cooling effect of the ship can be optimised and the operating cost can be reduced.
