| SPC-2 Sanitary Electro-Pneumatic Modulating Valve | |
 | | SPC-2, normally open (NO). |
Application SPC-2 is a sanitary electro-pneumatic modulating valve for use in stainless steel pipe systems. Typical applications of SPC-2 are control of pressure, flow, temperature, level in tanks etc. Working principle SPC-2 is remote-controlled by an electrical signal and compressed air. The valve is available with a normally open (NO) actuator as standard but can be supplied with a normally closed (NC) actuator. The actuator can easily be changed from a NO-version to a NC-version or vice versa. The IP-converter, which is an integrated part of the actuator, converts the electrical signal to a pneumatic signal. This signal conversion is extremely insensitive to pressure shocks. The pneumatic signal is transmitted to the integrated positioner which operates by means of the force-balance principle, ensuring that the position of the actuator piston is directly proportional to the input signal. Signal range and zero point can be adjusted individually. The actuator can be used for split-range operation by using a different measuring spring. Standard Design The valve consists of valve body, valve plug, lip seal, bonnet and an external actuator. The actuator with the bonnet is fitted to the valve body by means of a clamp. The actuator has an integrated IP-converter and positioner which offers substantial advantages compared to externally fitted positioners. All the moving parts are enclosed in the actuator and therefore well protected against damage and dirt. The actuator has few moving parts, and two main actuator sizes cover all valve sizes.

Pressure drop calculation The Kv designation is the flow rate in m3/h at a pressure drop of 1 bar when the valve is fully open (water at 68°F or similar liquids).
To select the Kv value it is necessary to calculate the Kvq value using the following formula: 
Where: | Kvq | = | Kv value at specific flow and specific pressure drop. | | Q | = | Flow rate (m3/h). | | Δp | = | Pressure drop over valve (bar). |
