Energy Recovery Control Valve (ERCV)
Revolutionizing Energy Recovery in Industrial Processes
The Energy Recovery Control Valve (ERCV) revolutionizes the way hydraulic energy is used in industrial processes. Instead of wasting unused energy as heat, the ERCV uses an innovative combination of a volumetric screw-machine and advanced actuator technology to recover unused hydraulic energy. This breakthrough valve performs control functions normally reserved for conventional control valves and can handle complex fluids that are difficult for conventional valves to handle.
Efficient Energy Recovery
Surplus hydraulic energy is recovered and converted into electrical power
Taking Over Control Tasks
Performs complex control tasks and difficult fluids which can cause problems with conventional control valves
Applicable with Screw Pumps
Technology utilizes the same advantages screw-pumps provide for your process
Efficient Energy Conversion
Volumetric Screw Machines
The ERCV uses advanced volumetric screw machines with very high energy recovery efficiency.
Depending on the set speed, this machine transports the conveying volume in closed chambers - regardless of the pressure or the properties of the medium. This technology not only allows precise control of flow, but also the recovery of hydraulic energy.
Efficient Energy Recovery
Advanced Variable Speed Drive Technology
The ERCV is equipped with state-of-the-art variable speed drive technology for optimum energy recovery. The ERCV's hydraulic motor drives an electric generator which converts the torque generated by the hydraulic motor into electrical energy. By precisely controlling the speed of the generator, the desired flow or process pressure is reliably maintained. The electrical power generated is also fed back into the power grid smoothly. This efficient energy conversion not only reduces the energy consumption of the entire plant, but also helps to reduce CO2 emissions.
Versatility & Flexibility
Adaptable to Various Industries
An outstanding feature of the ERCV is its adaptability to a wide range of applications. From hydraulic supply systems to pipeline end stations, the ERCV can be used in a variety of industrial processes. Not only is it capable of handling a wide range of fluids and fluid mixtures, but it can also work efficiently with abrasive materials. This versatility makes the ERCV an ideal choice for companies in various industries looking for reliable and efficient solutions for their hydraulic systems.
