Product Overview
A Smart WiFi Water Valve Mobile Actuator with full - port electric valves and support for both DC and AC drive is a high - tech device. The "full - port" design means that the valve allows for maximum water flow when fully open, minimizing flow restrictions compared to traditional valves. The ability to support both DC (direct current) and AC (alternating current) drive provides flexibility in terms of power sources.
The "Smart WiFi" feature enables the valve to be controlled remotely via a mobile device. This allows users to manage water flow even when they are not physically near the valve. For example, in an irrigation system, you can turn the water on or off for your garden from the comfort of your living room or even when you're away from home.
Components and Working Principle
Valve Body: The full - port electric valve body is made of materials that are durable and resistant to corrosion, such as brass or high - quality plastics. The internal structure is designed to ensure smooth water flow and tight shut - off when the valve is closed.
Drive Mechanism: The DC and AC drive support means it has an internal motor or actuator that can operate with different power supplies. When a control signal is received (either through a wired connection or via WiFi), the drive mechanism activates and opens or closes the valve. For DC drive, it might use a simple DC motor, while for AC drive, it could have a more complex solenoid - based system that can handle the alternating current.
WiFi Module: The WiFi module is the key to its smart functionality. It connects to the local WiFi network and allows the valve to communicate with a mobile app. The module usually uses a standard wireless communication protocol like 802.11b/g/n and has security features such as encryption to protect the connection from unauthorized access.
Applications
Irrigation Systems: It's widely used in agricultural and residential irrigation. Farmers or homeowners can schedule watering times through the mobile app. For example, a farmer can set the valve to open early in the morning and close in the evening to water crops efficiently, saving water and labor.
Plumbing Systems: In buildings, it can be used to control the water supply to different fixtures. For instance, in a large apartment complex, the maintenance staff can remotely turn off the water supply to a specific apartment in case of a leak or for maintenance purposes without having to physically access the valve.
Industrial Processes: In some industrial water - handling applications, such as in a manufacturing plant's cooling system, the valve can be controlled to regulate the flow of cooling water precisely according to the production requirements.
Advantages
Remote Control: As mentioned earlier, the ability to control the valve remotely through a mobile app provides convenience and flexibility. Users can adjust the water flow settings on - the - fly.
Energy Efficiency: With precise control over the valve's opening and closing, it can help in optimizing water usage, which in turn can lead to energy savings. For example, in an irrigation system, only the necessary amount of water is used, reducing the energy required to pump and distribute water.
Compatibility: The support for both DC and AC drive makes it suitable for a wide range of installation scenarios. It can be integrated into existing systems that have different power supplies more easily.
Installation and Setup Considerations
Power Supply: Depending on whether you're using DC or AC, you need to ensure a stable and appropriate power source. For DC, it might require a power adapter with the correct voltage and current ratings. For AC, it needs to be connected to a proper electrical outlet with the right voltage (usually 110V or 220V depending on the region).
WiFi Network Configuration: The valve needs to be connected to a reliable WiFi network. During setup, you may need to enter the network name (SSID) and password. Some models also support advanced network settings such as static IP addresses.
App Installation and Pairing: You need to install the corresponding mobile app (usually available for both iOS and Android). The pairing process typically involves scanning a QR code on the valve or entering a unique device identification number to establish a connection between the app and the valve.
