The Hydrocore Manual Isolating Valve, or Handwheel Valve, is the only globe valve that breaks away from the standard globe valve and works in an entirely different way. Instead of applying a force on a plug (disc) to regulate the flow, the Hydrocore valve uses a hydrostatically balanced shuttle to regulate the flow.

 

Our balanced valve, requires very low operating forces to actuate.  Therefore, no gearbox is required to assist in the valve's opening or closing. The absence of a gearbox to operate the valve eliminates the risk of malfunctioning and offers a far longer lifetime over traditional valves such as ball valves that rely on gearboxes to operate.

 

The Hydrocore valve's flow coefficient (Cv/Kv) is by far superior due to its design to the standard globe valve, thus saving tremendously on the electrical costs to operate.

The Hydrocore oil-hydraulic actuated valve is used for remote isolating of pipeline applications and mainly used in: Industrial Water Systems, Municipal Water Supply Systems, Pump Stations, Mine Water Reticulation and Petrochemical Plants 

​Once an electrical signal is given, the solenoid valve switches over, hydraulic fluid enters the cylinder opening compartment and pulls the valves shuttle towards the open position. Once power is removed the solenoid valve switches to the original position, hydraulic fluid enters the cylinder closing compartment and pushes the valve shuttle to the closed position. In the event of a power failure, the power pack’s accumulator, provides enough oil pressure and oil volume to close the valve. The open and closing speeds can be set separately to prevent water hammer when the valve closes.

The Hydrocore Line-Fluid Actuated valve is used for remote isolating of pipeline applications by using the line-fluid pressure. Is mainly used in: Industrial Water Systems, Municipal Water Supply Systems, Pump Stations, Mine Water Reticulation and Petrochemical Plants.

Benefits of the Hydrocore Line-Fluid Actuated Valve

• No electric actuators that are expensive and that have limit switches that are seldom set correctly causing the valve to fail. 
• No gears, spindle, bushes, shafts, keys and keyways that can wear out and cause the limit switch to go out or cause the actuator to fail. 
• The valve has a superior Cv compared to other globe valves. 
• No pneumatic systems.
• The needle valve can be set very accurately so that the valve closes at an appropriate speed so as to prevent the occurrence of water hammer.
• The valve always has positive pressure (full column pressure) on top of the shuttle when the valve is in a closed position. This prevents valve seat leakage and seat damage. When the valve is in an open position, it prevents the valve from being in a partly open position. This ensures that there is no reduced pressure drop over the valve causing undesired energy and financial losses.
