Pneumatic Actuator Butterfly Valve

Systematic Debugging and Installation Guide

Initial Visual and Physical Inspection

  • Check valve connection to pipeline for secure fastening
  • Examine for gaps or loose parts in the assembly
  • Inspect pneumatic actuator for damage like cracks or loose wiring
  • Verify air supply lines are properly connected without kinks or leaks

Air Supply System Testing

  • Ensure compressed air pressure matches actuator's recommended range
  • Open air supply valve slowly and listen for unusual noises
  • Use leak detection solution on air connections
  • Repair any leaks before proceeding with further testing

Manual Operation Testing

  • Engage manual override function if equipped
  • Rotate valve stem to check for smooth movement
  • Verify butterfly disc moves without jamming
  • Confirm mechanical components are properly aligned

Automated Actuation Tests

  • Send control signals to open and close valve fully
  • Observe response time and movement accuracy
  • Check actuator stops precisely at end limits without overtravel
  • Monitor actuator speed for proper operation

Sealing Performance Verification

  • Close valve fully and apply pressure to the pipeline
  • Check for leaks at valve seat and seals
  • Adjust actuator's end-stop settings if necessary
  • Inspect seals for damage requiring replacement

Functional Cycle Testing

  • Command valve through multiple open-close operations
  • Monitor consistency in response time and movement
  • Check end-position accuracy across cycles
  • Identify any accumulated issues like increasing friction
