The Challenge:
- Located in a classified area where explosive gases are an issue
- Rodney Hunt modulating gate that measures the flow coming in, and it balances at a certain level – discharging as little as possible
- If there is a rain event, the actuator and gate regulate the amount of water discharged during wet weather events – the most minimal amount of water possible should be discharged due to regulatory standards and is a critical operation
The Solution:
- Model 3000 Fail-Set
- NEMA 7 design
- Service Open Close Throttling
The Result:
- Long-term operation of a critical application (since 1998), still operating today
- Modulating valve which is constantly moving, meaning the actuator MUST be RELIABLE.
