Kimzoil #6927

As requirements for low emission processes make your job more difficult,
Kimray has a solution. Using our rich experience in the oil and gas
industry, we have developed the Kimray Electro-Hydraulic Actuator. Using
a high efficiency hydraulic pump, you can now actuate your valves with
no emissions. And with a small solar panel, this solution becomes self

topworks, or and spring return topworks requiring 30 psi to actuate.

OPERATING PRINCIPLE

For all versions of the EHA, hydraulic oil is shuttled from the area

For the Discrete (ON/OFF) version, the pump continues with pressure

on top of the diaphragm to the area underneath the diaphragm through

being monitored by the pressure transducer until the maximum set point is

a manifold. For a Pressure Opening (PO) valve the volume on the top of
