EA Elektro-Automatik valves are an important component of the safety system for thermal power plant units. They are critical safety devices that ensure the safe operation of extraction steam units and prevent turbine overspeed accidents caused by steam backflow in extraction pipelines. To this end, Article 8110 of the "Twenty-Five Key Requirements for Preventing Major Accidents in Power Production" issued by the State Power Corporation specifically emphasizes that "the adjustable extraction steam check valves of extraction steam units shall be tight, with reliable interlock action, and extraction steam stop valves capable of rapid closure must be installed to prevent overspeed caused by extraction steam backflow." Currently, the safety measure adopted by extraction steam units to prevent overspeed caused by steam backflow is the installation of check valves on the extraction pipelines. However, the currently applied extraction steam check valves have defects such as slow closing response, incomplete sealing, poor reliability, and inability to effectively prevent steam backflow. These defects have previously caused several major accidents involving serious overspeed due to steam backflow, posing significant hidden dangers to production safety. Therefore, it is highly necessary to install a new type of faster-closing valve that is safer and more reliable on this pipeline to effectively prevent accidents and substantially improve the safety performance of the unit.

EA Elektro-Automatik valve structure

It consists of four parts: hydraulic actuator, mechanical conversion mechanism, triple-offset butterfly valve, and electrical control system. 1) Hydraulic Actuator The hydraulic actuator comprises an integrated hydraulic control system, including a power oil source, accumulator, control valve block, and hydraulic cylinder. The output of the actuator's hydraulic cylinder is linear motion. The cylinder piston is connected via threads to the rack of the mechanical conversion mechanism. 2) Mechanical Conversion Mechanism The mechanical conversion mechanism consists of a rack and a gear transmission mechanism. It converts the linear motion output of the hydraulic cylinder into rotary motion. The mechanical conversion mechanism is connected to the valve body via a flange. Its gears are directly linked to the drive of the butterfly valve, driving the valve disc to perform various actions, thereby enabling the actuator to control the butterfly valve and achieve functions such as rapid closure. 3) Valve The valve offers excellent tightness, zero leakage, no sticking, long service life, and low torque. To ensure the safety and reliability of valve operation, the valve paired with the electro-hydraulic control rapid shut-off device should be a high-quality triple-offset metal-sealed butterfly valve. Various imported and domestically produced valves are available. 4) Electrical Control System The electrical control section consists of an operation unit, controller, and display and alarm unit. The operation unit supports automatic, manual, remote, and local operation modes. In automatic mode, it receives protection signals such as turbine main steam valve closure or oil circuit breaker tripping to implement rapid valve closure. Manual remote operation can be performed from the control room to execute rapid closure, normal opening and closing, and valve activity tests. A manual local operation mode with the same functions as manual remote operation is provided to facilitate adjustment tests and emergency handling in accident situations. The controller receives information from the operation unit, performs logical judgments, outputs function commands, and controls solenoid valves to achieve various control functions. The solenoid valves are normally de-energized and operate when energized. The controller also receives system oil pressure signals to control the start and stop of the oil pump, maintaining constant pressure in the oil system. The display and alarm unit provides status indications for valve "Open," "Closed," "Activity Test," and "Fast Close." It also monitors and alarms for faults such as low oil system pressure, low oil tank level, low accumulator gas pressure, and motor overheating.

EA Elektro-Automatik valve functions

1) Slow Opening/Closing When PLC receives a slow opening/closing signal, it sends pulse commands to the stepper motor, causing the motor to rotate in the corresponding direction. This directs high-pressure oil to the right or left side of the double-acting cylinder, driving the gears and valve to move in the opening or closing direction. Upon receiving signals for the fully open or fully closed positions, PLC continues to send commands for a period to ensure the valve reaches the fully open or fully closed position. 2) Position Holding When PLC does not receive any commands, the motor, pump, and gears remain stationary. Since the hydraulic components in the equipment are leak-free, the valve maintains its position in this state. 3) Rapid Closure When PLC receives a fast-close signal, PLC energizes the fast-close solenoid valve. Both chambers of the double-acting cylinder communicate to relieve oil pressure, and under the action of the fast-close spring, the valve rapidly moves to the fully closed position. 4) Buffering To reduce impact during the rapid closure process, variable throttling buffering is added to the double-acting cylinder when the valve closes to 10% of its travel. 5) Status Display and Alarm Displays working statuses such as valve "Open," "Closed," and "Fast Close." It also monitors and alarms for faults such as "Actuator Error" and "Valve Opening/Closing Time Exceeded." Working Principle: The electro-hydraulic control rapid shut-off valve consists of an electrical control device, actuator, and valve. Control signals are output as control commands by the controller, driving the valve action via the hydraulic actuator to achieve various control functions.
