Features & Benefits
Fail-safe operation and power-loss response
Upon main power failure, the product can drive the valve to perform a safety reset action as configured.
Multi-stage speed control
The product supports four different speed levels within one travel segment.
Fire detection and protection
By means of a fusible alloy element, the unit can detect fire conditions and rapidly drive the valve to safety reset in accordance with preset requirements.
Control accuracy of 0.2% and frequency response of 3 Hz
The modulating type offers 0.2% control accuracy; high precision modulating type achieves up to 0.01%.
Rapid on-off operation within 0.5 s
The practical fastest full-open / full-close time depends on valve size and required torque. Higher torque will result in longer minimum operating time.

Case Studies
PipeChina Quanzhou Branch – PipeChina Quanzhou Port Oil Pipeline & Tank Farm
Crude oil metering and storage involve high safety risks. As safety requirements for tank-farm operations become more stringent, safety instrumented systems (SIS) are widely deployed, with emergency shutoff valves serving as key final elements. These valves can be equipped with electric, pneumatic, or hydraulic actuators. Chuanyi CR and CL series electro-hydraulic actuators can be configured for use with a range of tank-farm shutoff valves, featuring excellent compatibility.
