Rolling swing valve handles unfiltered fluids
Camcon Technology is demonstrating the world's first valve specifically developed for the oil industry this week at Offshore Europe in Aberdeen.
Actuators just keep on going
A pair of Camcon's novel binary actuators has completed more than 11.5 billion operations in laboratory trials.
Actuator enables first rolling-swing valve
The world's first rolling-swing valve is set to revolutionise the fluid control industries.
Camcon's rolling swing valve has been developed specifically for applications in the unfiltered fluids environment such as oil, chemical processing and water treatment.
Its high speed, low energy consumption and long life characteristics are set to have a huge impact on offshore oil and gas production, where power consumption is a major issue.
"The East of England Energy Group was surprised by the breadth and the quality of entries and the presentations.
We felt that the Camcon entry demonstrated a valve configuration in a different way with applications not just in the oil and gas industry but in other sectors as well and was truly innovative", said Paul Alcock, Chairman of the awards judges." "We are delighted to have received the innovation award from EEEGR.
It is the best validation of our efforts to establish the rolling swing valve as a standard in the oil and gas industry", said Wladyslaw Wygnanski, inventor of the Camcon binary actuator and Managing Director, Camcon Technology." The rolling swing valve, based on the principles of ground-breaking Camcon binary actuating technology, uses high power permanent magnets and a spring-loaded armature.
It requires a very short electrical pulse to disrupt the magnetic field, causing the armature to switch from one stable position to another, thereby opening or closing the valve.
No electric current is needed to maintain the on or off position.
This creates a unique opportunity to drive even multiple valve systems from a local battery.
