How Alfa Laval Tri Clover Valves Work
Alfa Laval Tri Clover valves operate through pneumatic actuators controlled remotely via compressed air. With minimal moving parts, the valve provides consistent, reliable operation. The internal stem features a single O-ring seal, ensuring dependable sealing, positive alignment, and long service life.
When air pressure is applied, the valve actuator opens or closes the valve, depending on configuration (normally open, normally closed or air-to-air), precisely controlling fluid flow. Short and long actuator strokes offer flexibility for precise flow control in various applications.
Alfa Laval Tri Clover Valve (700 Series) Standard Design
The Alfa Laval Tri Clover Valve series provides versatile configuration options including one-body or two-body valve setups. Valve components such as plugs, actuators and clamp rings are highly customizable to meet application-specific needs. Configurations range from simple shut-off valves with two or three ports to complex divert valves with up to five ports, allowing simultaneous drainage, filling or diverting operations. The valve’s actuator is reversible, ensuring easy customization and adaptability.
For enhanced control and sensing, the Alfa Laval ThinkTop control units (V50/V70) can be integrated for efficient valve management.
