  Applications 
 
  
  Drinking Water Adopting a unique water supply network automatic drainage system, it can automatically drain the drainage valve based on a schedule or remote control to meet water quality standards. It is suitable for operating in environments where there is no power supply at the end of the pipeline, ensuring that the water quality meets regulatory requirements and improving drinking water safety.
 Oil & Gas Equipped with ultra-low power pressure and flammable gas sensors, a 3G wireless transmission host enables real-time monitoring. When abnormalities occur, personnel can be dispatched immediately to inspect, avoiding gas explosion accidents. In the event of an earthquake or pipeline damage, emergency shut-off valves can be quickly closed automatically or remotely to ensure the real-time and accuracy of daily monitoring of the city's underground gas pipeline network.

PRV Pressure Reducing Valve Controller Technical Comparison

Comparison Item PRV Pressure Reducing Valve Controller Traditional Pressure Reducing Valve / Manual Pressure Adjustment General Pressure Data Logger RTU / PLC + Pressure Reducing Valve Integration Solution
Product Positioning Integrated controller combining pressure reducing valve control, pressure / water hammer / flow / water level / water quality monitoring, data logging, communication, and cloud platform functions. Mainly based on mechanical pressure reduction or manual adjustment, usually without remote control and data analysis capabilities. Mainly used for pressure data logging and usually does not provide pressure reducing valve control capability. Supports customized control and monitoring, but requires a control cabinet, wiring, programming, and system integration.
Core Monitoring Parameters Pressure reducing valve, water pressure, water hammer, flow, water level, and water quality; supports connection of up to 8 sets of pressure, water level, flow, water quality, and other sensors. Mostly based on upstream/downstream valve pressure or on-site gauge observation. Mainly focused on pressure, with some models supporting transient pressure recording. Depends on the external sensors and control modules used.
Pressure Reducing Valve Control Supports a pressure reducing valve actuator and can be used with various brands of pressure reducing valves without modifying or replacing the existing valve. Requires manual on-site adjustment and is difficult to dynamically control based on time periods, flow rate, or remote pressure. Usually does not support valve control. Valve control is possible, but requires engineering design, software development, and commissioning.
Pipeline Pressure Management Supports daily 48-period flow and pressure control based on multiple critical points in the pipeline network, including scheduled, flow-based, and remote pressure feedback control modes. Mostly uses a fixed pressure setting with limited adjustment flexibility. Can be used for pressure trend analysis, but control capability is limited. Can achieve complex control, but construction and maintenance costs are higher.
Water Hammer / Pipe Burst Detection Provides high-speed automatic continuous detection of pressure, water hammer, and negative pressure at 0.001-second intervals; records high-speed water hammer pressure waves at 0.01-second intervals for up to 60 seconds. Usually does not provide high-speed transient pressure recording. Depends on the model; high-frequency recording may be available but is not necessarily integrated with valve control. Can be achieved through high-speed modules, but additional integration is required.
Data Logging 2,000,000 data records, including pressure, flow, water quality, I/O, time, and other data; supports alarms and high-speed water hammer pressure wave recording. Usually lacks complete data logging or requires manual meter reading. Can record pressure data, but the data types are relatively limited. Can record various data types, but database and communication integration are required.
Communication Method Supports 4G / GPRS and RS485, with optional Ethernet, NB-IoT, 5G, and other communication methods; supports Modbus TCP, FTP, MQTT, RESTful, and HART. Usually has no communication function or requires external devices to be added. Mostly uses a single communication method or requires a gateway. High communication flexibility, but engineering configuration and maintenance are required.
Disconnection Handling Automatically stores data when communication is unavailable and automatically retransmits the data after the connection is restored. No automatic retransmission function. Depends on the product functions. Requires system design and software logic.
Cloud Platform / Data Integration Supports AQWEB, AQOPC, and AQLIB for remote display, alarms, trend charts, reports, data analysis, and database integration. Usually does not include a cloud platform. Requires connection to an additional platform or data export for analysis. Can be integrated, but requires customized system engineering.
Power Supply Ultra-low power consumption; supports internal battery, external battery, solar power, hydropower generator, or external power supply, making it suitable for sites without mains power. Usually does not require power, but has no remote monitoring capability; if communication equipment is added, an additional power supply is required. Battery or external power supply, depending on the device. Usually requires stable mains power or a power distribution cabinet.
Outdoor Protection IP68 rugged submersible aluminum alloy enclosure, suitable for direct installation in humid, flooded, manhole, and harsh environments. The valve body can be used outdoors, but control and communication equipment require additional protection. Depends on the product grade. Usually requires a control cabinet or waterproof enclosure.
Installation and Maintenance Integrated design reduces the need for distribution panels, surge protectors, signal converters, communication devices, and software integration. Requires regular inspection and manual adjustment. Simple installation, but limited functionality. More complex installation, requiring wiring, cabinet installation, and software maintenance.
Suitable Applications Water supply networks, pressure reducing valve stations, manholes, inspection chambers, drinking water, natural gas, and applications requiring pipeline pressure optimization and leakage control. Fixed pressure reducing valve stations or sites where personnel can perform on-site maintenance. Pressure monitoring and pressure trend analysis. Large facilities or sites with existing control panels and SCADA systems.
Traditional pressure data loggers mainly record pressure trends, while the PRV can further control pressure reducing valves based on time, flow rate, or remote pressure feedback. Through intelligent pipeline pressure and flow algorithms, the PRV can dynamically adjust water supply pressure, reduce unnecessary high-pressure supply, and help lower leakage and pipe burst risks. Actual performance may vary depending on pipeline network conditions, pressure settings, water usage patterns, and installation conditions.
