Hydraulic control valves are essential components in water and fluid management systems. They regulate flow, pressure, and direction automatically, ensuring optimal performance in municipal, industrial, and agricultural applications.
These valves operate using the pressure of the fluid itself to open, close, or modulate the valve. A control pilot directs the valve’s main chamber pressure to control its operation, enabling precise flow and pressure regulation.
Common types include pressure reducing valves, pressure relief valves, surge anticipation valves, level control valves, and flow control valves. Each is designed to meet specific application needs in various systems.
Yes. Aquestia’s valves, including those from DOROT and OCV, meet international standards for use in potable water systems and are designed with high corrosion resistance and long service life.
Choosing the right valve depends on your system’s pressure requirements, flow rates, and application (e.g., irrigation, industrial, municipal). It’s recommended to consult with an Aquestia representative to ensure the correct sizing and functionality.
Absolutely. DOROT offers highly customizable hydraulic control valves to suit various pressure ranges, materials, and operational configurations. Their solutions are widely trusted in complex water management systems globally.
OCV control valves are engineered with durable materials, precise flow control capabilities, and robust design. Their reliability in demanding environments, such as fire protection and industrial applications, makes them a top choice for engineers.
Yes. Aquestia provides full support and access to genuine spare parts for both DOROT and OCV brands, ensuring long-term reliability and simplified maintenance.
Yes. Many of Aquestia’s control valves can be integrated with CONDOR, Aquestia’s smart controller, for remote monitoring, SCADA integration, and automatic operation, enhancing system efficiency and responsiveness.
Adjustment typically involves turning a pilot’s regulating screw to increase or decrease regulated parameters. Always consult the user manual or a technician to avoid misconfiguration, especially in sensitive or critical systems.
Rebuilding involves disassembling the valve, cleaning or replacing internal components such as diaphragms or seals, and reassembling it to factory specifications. Aquestia provides rebuild kits and guidance for DOROT and OCV valves.
Connecting a hydraulic flow control valve involves identifying the inlet/outlet ports, ensuring directional alignment with the flow, and securely attaching it using compatible fittings. Always verify system pressure before startup.
A hydraulic control valve modulates flow, pressure, or level, while a directional control valve manages the path of the fluid (e.g., open/close or switch flow direction). Both can be used together in complex systems.
Yes. Aquestia valves can be paired with electronic controllers such as CONDOR to enable automation, remote actuation, and integration with SCADA or other monitoring platforms.
Routine maintenance should be performed at least once a year, or more frequently in high-demand systems. This includes checking seals, flushing the system, and verifying calibration or pilot settings.
Common signs include erratic flow, pressure drops, leakage, or slow response. Visual inspection and performance monitoring can help detect issues early.
