POSITIONERD
Pressure-operated series 290 or 390 2- or 3-way valves combined with a Positioner D offer a simple and cost-
effective solution for flow control.
This type of valve can be used in the most different processes. With the right body material, the valve are suit-
able for use with gases and neutral or aggressive liquids.
For installations where space is limited, the Positioner D, which is directly mounted onto the valve, is a simple
and cost-effective solution. The optionally available double-loop (cascaded) control feature enables direct con-
trol of pressure, flow, temperature etc. A frequency signal input allows using low-cost turbine flow sensors to
control the flow of liquids.
The valve can be adjusted to a specific application using the PosCom software.
