How does a Unique Control LKB valve work
The Alfa Laval Unique Control LKB uses an air spring actuator, enabling operation at a significantly lower air pressure compared to control units using a conventional mechanical spring. Based on the operating air pressure, the actuator configures itself and calibrates values by pushing a single button. The actuator also monitors the operating air pressure and sends alerts if issues require attention to prevent malfunction, thereby ensuring more uptime.
