Marine Electric Regulating Butterfly Valve for Seawater Cooling System Flow Regulation, 4-20mA Signal
Product Spotlights
Shanghai Zhibang Valve Manufacture Co., Ltd. proudly presents our Marine Electric Regulating Butterfly Valve, specifically designed for precise flow regulation in seawater cooling systems. With over 8 years of manufacturing expertise since 2016, we have supplied reliable valve solutions to global markets including North America, Europe, and Southeast Asia. This valve combines a corrosion-resistant design with a 4-20mA modulating electric actuator, ensuring accurate and stable flow control even in harsh marine environments. Our ISO9001-certified production facility in Shanghai guarantees consistent quality and performance for every unit shipped.
The valve body is crafted from high-grade ductile iron or stainless steel, while the disc is made of nickel aluminum bronze – a material specially selected for exceptional resistance to seawater corrosion. The electric actuator supports both on-off and modulating control, accepting standard 4-20mA signals from PLCs or other control systems. This enables remote monitoring and fine-tuning of flow rates, making it ideal for ballast water management, engine cooling, and auxiliary seawater systems on ships and offshore platforms.
Key Features & Technical Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1: Can this valve be used for fluids other than seawater?
Yes, the materials can be adapted for fresh water, brine, or mild chemical solutions. The nickel aluminum bronze disc also performs well in applications with moderate chlorides.
Q2: What is the accuracy of the 4-20mA control?
The actuator provides a positioning accuracy of ±1% of full travel. Hysteresis is typically less than 1%, ensuring repeatable flow adjustments.
Q3: Do you offer explosion-proof actuators for hazardous areas?
Yes, explosion-proof versions with ATEX or IECEx certification are available upon request. Please specify the zone classification when ordering.
Q4: What is the standard lead time?
For standard sizes (DN50–DN300) and common materials, lead time is 15–20 working days. Custom orders typically require 25–35 days, depending on complexity.
Q5: How does the valve handle biofouling in seawater?
The smooth disc surface and self-cleaning seat design reduce the accumulation of marine growth. Adding an optional anti-fouling coating can further enhance performance.
Q6: Can the actuator provide position feedback?
Yes, an auxiliary 4-20mA feedback signal or potentiometer output is available as an option for closed-loop control.
Q7: What maintenance is required?
Periodic inspection of the actuator seals and electrical connections is recommended. The valve itself requires minimal maintenance due to its corrosion-resistant materials.
Q8: Do you provide test certificates or material certificates?
Yes, we can provide material test reports, pressure test reports, and a certificate of conformity for each batch. Third-party inspection is also accepted.
