Inlet Valve
An inlet valve regulates the flow of a substance, such as air or water, into a system. The specific function and design of the valve depend on the equipment it is used in, ranging from internal combustion engines to washing machines and air compressors.
Key Features & Functions
-
Flow Control
An inlet valve's primary function is to regulate the amount of fluid that enters a system, ensuring the correct pressure and volume for optimal operation.
-
Isolation & Safety
It acts as a gatekeeper, able to completely close off the system to prevent pressure surges or allow for safe maintenance and inspection.
-
Automatic Operation
In many applications, inlet valves are designed to open and close automatically based on system demands or pressure levels.
-
Durability & Material Resistance
High-quality inlet valves use durable materials that are resistant to high temperatures, corrosion, and fatigue, ensuring a long service life.
-
Precise Flow & Leak Prevention
Features like high-quality seals and polished valve heads help ensure precise flow control and prevent costly leaks.
Examples by Application
-
Air Compressors The inlet valve regulates air entering the compression chamber.
