Eltorque has pioneered an innovative valve control system with electric actuators for vessels. The solution provides intelligent valve control and helps to reduce operating costs in the maritime sector.
The actuator’s compact, lightweight design reduces energy demand and saves valuable space on vessels. Unlike hydraulic systems, the Eltorque solution does not entail the risk of potentially toxic fluid spills.
The intelligent valve control system and actuators can be used remotely for all vessel systems:
* Bilge
* Ballast
* Cargo
* Fire and Foam
* Fo fill and Transfer
* Sea Water
* Fresh Water
* Tank Wash
* Ballast Water Treatment
Operators can easily monitor and control the ballast water system, fuel system, A/C system, and the like from the bridge. This eliminates the need for manual checks and adjustments.
One of the enormous benefits to the industry is the automatic shutoff of power to the electric motor when the valve has reached its designated position. A patented self-lock technology – unique to Eltorque actuators – holds the valve in the designated position without using power. This is a massive energy saver compared to all other actuators on the market.
