The operation of a Motor Operated Valve (MOV) involves several steps to control the flow of fluids in a pipeline. Here's a simplified explanation of how a typical MOV works:
Initial Position: The MOV starts in a specific position, either open or closed, depending on the requirements of the process it's controlling.
Control Input: When there's a need to change the flow of fluid through the valve (e.g., opening or closing the valve), a control signal is sent to the MOV's control system. This signal can come from an operator, an automated control system, or a sensor that detects specific conditions in the pipeline.
Actuator Operation: The control system translates the input signal into a command for the actuator. The actuator is usually an electric motor, pneumatic, or hydraulic device. Its purpose is to move the valve to the desired position.
Opening the Valve: If the command is to open the valve, the actuator turns the valve stem or shaft in the direction that allows fluid to pass through the valve. This motion can be controlled precisely to regulate the flow rate.
Closing the Valve: If the command is to close the valve, the actuator reverses its motion, turning the valve stem or shaft to obstruct the flow
