First of all, the soft-sealed gate valve has good sealing performance, which is one of the main reasons why it is widely used in air-conditioning pipes. Since the air-conditioning system needs to accurately control the flow of fluid to ensure cooling or heating effects, the sealing performance of the valve is crucial. The soft-sealed gate valve uses soft materials as seals, which can better adapt to the temperature and pressure changes in the pipeline, thereby ensuring a more reliable sealing effect.
Secondly, the soft-sealed gate valve has the characteristics of easy operation and strong flexibility. In the air-conditioning system, the valve is usually required to be frequently switched on and off to adjust the flow of refrigerant or heat medium. The soft-sealed gate valve uses operating devices such as hand wheels or electric actuators, which are simple and convenient to operate, can quickly achieve fluid control, and improve the response speed and stability of the system
In addition, the structural design of the soft-sealed gate valve is relatively simple and the maintenance cost is relatively low. In the air-conditioning system, due to the large number of pipelines, if a valve with a complex structure and difficult maintenance is selected, the maintenance cost and work difficulty of the system will be increased. The soft-sealed gate valve is relatively easy to clean and maintain due to its simple structural design, which can reduce the operating cost of the system
However, it is worth noting that the soft-sealed gate valve also has some limitations. For example, because its seal is made of soft materials, it may be less durable than metal seals. Therefore, when selecting a soft-sealed gate valve, its durability and maintenance cycle need to be considered to ensure the long-term stable operation of the system.
