Descubra la verdadera función de las válvulas motorizadas: Soluciones sencillas para sistemas modernos

Wasted energy. Slow processes. Poor control.
Do these sound familiar? In busy buildings or factories, old valves can struggle. They often cannot keep up with modern demands for efficiency and smart automation. In fact, studies show that manual or outdated systems can waste up to 30% more energy compared to smarter, automated setups.

When heating, water supply, or energy management can’t adapt quickly, the result is not only a rise in costs, but also a drop in comfort, safety, and system performance.

Picture this:

• It’s winter. The heating is on, but some rooms are too hot and others too cold. Old valves can’t adjust quickly.
• Factories risk system failure or product loss if a valve sticks or moves too slowly, as 15% of all valve failures are due to actuator problems.
• Water plants struggle with leaks or dosing errors because valves lack smart sensing.

Now, imagine if these problems go on day after day. Not only do bills creep up, but staff feel powerless—stuck with equipment that holds back the business or public service.

But why are old valves such a headache today?

It’s because today’s systems demand more. Smart buildings, energy-saving projects, and strict quality rules mean valves aren’t just simple handles anymore. They must be:

• Fast and accurate
• Remotely controlled
• Able to send and receive data
• Easy to maintain and durable

Modern industry needs a new answer.

Motorized valves bring systems into the digital age. Simply put, these devices use electricity or air pressure to open and close, or even make tiny adjustments—all with high precision and almost no human input.

• How Motorized Valves Work:
  • A señal is sent (from a control center, thermostat, or sensor).
  • A tiny actuator (think “robot muscle”) moves, turning the valve.
  • This movement adjusts water, steam, or other fluids exactly as needed.

Where Does Navarch Fit In?

When you need a system that truly saves energy and is ready for smart integration, you want a valve solution built with reliability at the core. Navarch knows this, offering intelligent heat-saving, water-saving, and network monitoring systems built with the latest production technology and rigorous testing. Each valve is part of a bigger picture: system integration, monitoring, and real savings for customers—no matter the industry.

What is a Motorized Valve? Breaking It Down

A motorized valve is…

• A valve that opens, closes, or regulates flow using a motor or actuator—controlled automatically by a system.
• Not just a valve, but a crucial part of smart energy systems and process automation.

Key Components:

• Actuator: The “muscle” that moves the valve.
• Valve Body: The part carrying water, steam, or gas.
• Sensors & Wired Connections: For status, position, and remote control.
• Feedback Signals: Tells the system if the valve is open, closed, or in-between.

Understanding How Motorized Valves Work

Step by step:

1. Detect – A room sensor, heat/cooling need, or automation signal triggers the valve.
2. Command – The system sends a signal (0-10V, 4-20mA, etc.).
3. Actuate – Electric or pneumatic actuator moves the valve.
4. Adjust – Water or steam flow changes instantly.
5. Feedback – The system “knows” the valve’s position for full monitoring.

Types of Motorized Valve Actions:

• On/Off (Simple open/close)
• Modulating/Proportional (Fine adjustments, like turning a dimmer switch)
• Supports common automation signals and protocols.

Navarch’s product line includes many such types, including WiFi, NB-IOT, Zigbee, and 4G Cat1 smart valves that fit every integration scenario (Válvula inteligente WiFiVálvula inteligente ZigbeeVálvula inteligente 4G-CAT1).

Core Functions of Motorized Valves

Motorized valves are built to do far more than just “open and close”:

1. Flow Regulation

• Use Case: In commercial buildings, valves adjust chilled water to match real-time comfort needs, cutting energy costs by >20%.

2. Pressure and Temperature Management

• Example: In water plants, valves automatically balance pressure, preventing leaks or bursts, with zero downtime reported in real-world projects.

3. Automation and Remote Monitoring

• With IoT support, valves predict their own maintenance needs, cutting repair costs by up to 35%.

4. Safety Control

• ATEX-certified valves ensure critical lines close instantly in emergencies, reducing risk by up to 90% in hazardous environments.

Applications: Where Do Motorized Valves Help Most?

Motorized valves aren’t just for factories! Their power and precision make them vital in:

• Smart Buildings: For heating, cooling, and water supply systems, motorized valves work with Building Management Systems (BMS) to keep spaces comfy and waste low.
• Industrial Processes: Chemical plants, food factories, and oil pipelines use valves to automate and safeguard critical flows.
• Water Treatment: Dosing and filtration rely on precision control.
• Energy Projects: Reduce use, prevent losses, and monitor in real time.

Navarch specializes in each area, bringing not just the right valves, but full system integration—tying safety, analytics, and automation into one energy-saving package.
