In the dynamic world of marine engineering, efficiency and reliability are paramount. One crucial component that ensures these qualities in fluid control systems is the WCB Marine Electric Butterfly Valve. This valve type plays a significant role in regulating the flow of liquids and gases in various marine applications, making it indispensable for the industry.
What is a Butterfly Valve?
A butterfly valve is a quarter-turn rotational valve used to regulate fluid flow. It consists of a circular disc or "butterfly" that rotates around a shaft, allowing or blocking the passage of fluid. When the valve is fully opened, the disc is parallel to the flow, minimizing pressure drop and allowing for maximum flow. Conversely, when the valve is closed, the disc is perpendicular to the flow, creating a seal that prevents any fluid from passing through.
