Overview

AMOT G valves are 3-way control valves with a heavy-duty rotary valve and either a quarter-turn electric or pneumatic actuator. They provide high accuracy and repeatability for temperature control in mixing or diverting services over a wide flow range. The valves are designed for high vibration service and are qualified for shipboard service without vibration isolation. They are suitable for various fluids, with optional materials for specific applications.

System Types
  • Electric System: Features a rugged, compact actuator with IP65 protection, manual override, and thermal cutout. It uses an electric motor for valve operation.
  • Electro-Pneumatic System: Combines electric and pneumatic technology, offering fail-safe action benefits.
  • Pneumatic System: Uses a spring return pneumatic actuator and positioner for valve control, ideal for environments lacking electricity or requiring fail-safe systems.
Specification
  • Flow rates up to 720m3/hr (3,170 US gpm).
  • Valve sizes range from 80mm to 200mm (3” to 8”).
  • Body materials include bronze, ductile iron, steel, and stainless steel for various applications.
  • Seal material: Flourocarbon (Viton, FKM).
  • Flanges conform to EN 1092, ASME, and JIS standards.
  • Maximum internal valve pressure: 10 bar for ductile iron or bronze, 16 bar for steel and stainless steel.
  • Maximum fluid temperature: 100°C (212°F).
  • Vibration resistance exceeds Lloyd’s Register Type Approval System requirements.
Valve Body and Modes of Operation

The AMOT G valve offers flexibility in port configuration to meet application requirements. It supports two main modes of operation: 90° rotor and 180° rotor, with specific configurations for electric and pneumatic actuators.

Valve Sizing

AMOT type G valves are designed for minimal pressure drop, with recommendations for sizing based on pressure drop between 0.01 to 0.3 bar (0.15 to 4.5 psi). Valve selection curves are provided for different rotor configurations.

Specifications:
The document provides detailed specifications for the 3-Way Temperature Control Valve - Model G, Version G. It includes information on viscosity expressed in centistokes, with examples of SAE oil viscosities at 40°C. The valve is designed to minimize pressure drop, with recommendations for sizing based on pressure drop between 0.01 and 0.3 bar. Kv and Cv values are provided for different valve sizes.

Procedures:
Valve sizing calculations are explained, including formulas for determining Kv and Cv, which are the flow coefficients in metric and imperial units, respectively. The document also describes the process for viscosity correction using a correction graph.

Standards and Recommendations:
The document outlines the standards for flange classes and materials used in the valve construction, such as steel, aluminum alloy, and aluminum bronze. It also specifies the power supply requirements and environmental conditions for the electric actuator.

Key Features and Benefits:
The valve features self-locking with minimal backlash, auxiliary limit switches, and manual override. It includes two torque switches for protection against actuator overloading. The electric actuator is equipped with a microprocessor-based positioner for accurate control.

Accessories:
The document lists various accessories, including PID valve controllers, solid state relays, temperature sensors, and electro-pneumatic converters. Each accessory is described with its key features and benefits.

Dimensions:
Detailed dimensions for different valve models are provided in both millimeters and inches, along with bolthole dimensions as per the relevant specification.

Ordering Information:
A table is provided to help select the unique specification of the G valve, including options for valve size, flow type, flange class, rotor type, and actuator selection.

Contact Information:
Contact details for AMOT offices in Europe, Africa, Americas, Asia, and Australasia are provided for further inquiries and support.

Temperature Control Valve-3

3-Way Temperature Control Valve - Model G, Version G Overview AMOT G valves are 3-way control valves consisting of a heavy duty rotary valve and either a quarter turn electric or pneumatic actuator. The valves provide a high degree of accuracy and repeatability for accurate temperature control and are equally accurate in mixing or diverting service over a wide flow range. The heavy duty rotor design provides tight temperature control without high maintenance requirements. The system is available in three standard control configurations: electric; pneumatic; and electro-pneumatic, offering flexibility...

Temperature Control Valve-4

3-Way Temperature Control Valve - Model G, Version G System Types Electric Valve For the electric valve, the actuator of the G valve assembly uses an electric motor which rotates in either direction in response to the ON-OFF signals received. The motor drives a gearbox connected to the rotor shaft and turns the valve rotor clockwise or counter-clockwise, a maximum of 90 degrees. At the end of travel, limit switches are incorporated to isolate the electrical supply to the motor when the valve rotor has reached either end of the rotation. A feedback potentiometer is standard and provides position...

Temperature Control Valve-5

3-Way Temperature Control Valve - Model G, Version G System Types continued Pneumatic Valve The pneumatic valve uses a spring return pneumatic actuator and positioner to control the rotation of the valve in response to an input signal from a pneumatic or electro-pneumatic control system. The pneumatic control system sends a pneumatic signal ranging from 0.21 to 1.03 bar (3 to 15 psi) to the actuator to correctly position the valve at the desired temperature setting. The pneumatic control system usually consists of a P+I pneumatic controller, sensor and the necessary air supply conditioning equipment...
