Electric crane: types and applications

Water supply

When talking about the taps for water supply, to which electricity is supplied, they usually mean systems designed for instantaneous heating. This is due to the fact that they are most often used in living conditions and are being actively acquired recently. However, there is also a special electric faucet, whose locking mechanism is driven by current, and therefore it is worth considering both of these products.

Heater

First you need to mention that these types of cranes began to appear relatively recently. The fact is that the models that existed before did not meet the safety requirements and did not have high productivity. Given this, a modern electric crane with heated water can almost completely replace the boiler.

Advantages and disadvantages

The most important advantage of such a device is that it goes into operation in just a few seconds. Almost immediately after switching on, water of the required temperature begins to flow from the tap.

It is also important to note the fact that this design has small dimensions and will not take up much space. At the same time it can be installed with your own hands, strictly observing all the recommendations for installation.
Special attention should be paid to the fact that such products have a relatively small permeability. In a minute they can usually produce a maximum of 3-4 liters. However, practically all products have special nozzles that make this moment almost imperceptible, which naturally leads to savings.

With moderate use, such electric heaters can save almost half when compared with a boiler

This electric crane consumes about three kilowatts per hour. Initially, you might think that it is very much, but if you compare it with a boiler, which not only heats a large volume of water, but constantly maintains it at a given temperature, then you can immediately see significant savings.
The main disadvantage of such equipment is its cost. However, you need to understand that a full-fledged heater is being purchased, which means that such expenses are quite acceptable.

Tip! When purchasing such products, it is necessary to study their specification in detail and make sure that such parameters fit the existing conditions and needs. Otherwise, the performance of such a crane is not guaranteed.

Such products have an original appearance and can fit into almost any interior.

Device

The design and principle of operation of such a unit is quite simple. If we take a typical suspended electric overhead crane, it will consist of the usual part of the mixer, to which the flow heater block is attached. In this case, the device for raising the temperature in the system has the appearance of a kind of coil, which visually resembles a boiler.

Typically, these faucets can not give the water temperature over 60 degrees, which can be attributed to the shortcomings, although for domestic purposes more and do not need

It should be noted that no safety valves in such products are provided, since usually the water temperature in them does not exceed 60 degrees. Also, the design itself does not have a drive, which almost completely excludes the possibility of creating a large pressure.

Special attention should be paid to the fact that almost all such products must be equipped with protective disconnect devices. From this, the price of the final product rises a little, but such security measures are simply necessary, since we are talking about direct contact with water, which is a good conductor of current.

Tip! You should not remove the protective device from the system, especially if it constantly turns off the device. Most likely, there are life-threatening problems that affect its work, which means that the crane must be carried to a service center.

Locking mechanisms

Also, such products as the electromechanical crane ke 50f 63 belong to this category of devices. They are usually ball valves that automatically lock when current is applied to them. It is worth noting that such systems are usually of two types, although if necessary they can be varied.

Some systems of this type are used in tees to remotely redirect the flow of water.

Mechanics

Typical electric faucet is based on a ball mechanism. The fact is that it can provide effective channel overlapping with minimum effort. Recently, however, there are models that use a different type of mechanism.

Another type of mechanical tee made on the basis of plastic pipes

A small electric motor or piston is installed on top of the crane, which performs the functions of a moving element.. In this case, most often such systems use direct current, since with its use it is much easier to implement a reverse.
Special attention should be paid to the fact that such products are usually installed in less critical sections of the line, since the valve remains open when the power is turned off, unless the spring system of the valve is implemented. However, the instruction manual does not advise to put such products, unless it is provided by the project.

The simplest type of construction from a reputable manufacturer

It is also worth noting that such systems can have quite large dimensions, which causes certain difficulties during installation.

Tip! In domestic conditions, such structures are practically not used. However, they are widely used in the manufacture of certain units or installations.

Electromagnetic systems

This type of cranes is different in that it can be configured for a specific function when the power is turned off. Given this, the electromagnetic crane is in great demand in many different areas and even in particularly critical areas.

A product connected to the heating system for remote or automatic control

The principle of operation of such a device is that the design of the locking mechanism is made by the needle principle. At the same time, the valve is controlled by means of an electromagnet, which can be set to unlock or close the channel when power is applied.

Given the high reliability and quality of such products, they are recommended to be used when creating an automatic water supply to the system that can serve an individual house or garden. Also, these faucets are often used in the manufacture of autonomous irrigation or wells.

Tip! Some models of such devices are not universal, which means that when choosing them, it is necessary to immediately determine what state the valve should be without power.

Conclusion

After studying in detail the video in this article, you can learn more about the structures of this type and their diversity. Also, taking into account the text above, it is necessary to conclude that there are several types of cranes to which electricity is conducted, and they may have completely different purposes (see also the article Choosing and Installing a Mom-Mom, Mom-Dad and other types of valves).
