Description
Motorized ball valves are the major contributor to an automated brewing system. Once manual valves are replaced by motorized versions, most of the brewing process can become automated, if that is your goal.
All valves are full-port 1/2″ NPT, with SS304 body construction and teflon seals, and are IP67 rated (wash-down capable). All valves have a position indicator an manual adjustment knob. Valves are 24VDC power (12 VDC are available on request). Three versions are available:
Proportional Valve – 2-way valve which will open to a percentage proportional to an analog input voltage across the range 0 – 5 VDC. The valve has an LCD readout for opened angle and setup. The ball valve is slotted to create linearized flow across the range. The valve is wired via 4 signals: Power (24 VDC), Ground, Control Signal (0-5 VDC), and feedback signal (optional, 4-20 mA). Valve can be driven directly from the BruControl Analog Amplifer. Download the specification sheet/manual: BruControl KLD20T Proportional Valve.
2-way Valve – 2-way valve which will open or close fully depending the input signal. The valve is wired via 3 signals: Open (24 VDC), Close (24 VDC), Ground. The valve is appropriately directed via an SPDT relay or using two outputs on the BruControl UniShield and digital output “Dual-Throw” mode. Download the specification sheet/manual: BruControl KLD20S 2-Way Valve.
3-way Valve – 3-way valve which will assume left or right positions fully, depending the input signal. The flow path is in ‘L’ port configuration. This means it will connect the central port to either the left or right port, but not both or neither. The valve is wired via 3 wires: Open (24 VDC), Close (24 VDC), Ground. The valve is appropriately directed via an SPDT relay or using two outputs on the BruControl UniShield and digital output “Dual-Throw” mode.
