On the vast and unpredictable oceans, every voyage of a ship is accompanied by unknown challenges. The impact of wind and waves, as well as complex sea conditions, constantly test the stability and safety of the vessel. The normal operation of key ship equipment such as steering gears, windlasses, and cargo cranes relies on the stable control of hydraulic systems. Within these hydraulic systems, pressure reducing valves act as "safety valves," precisely regulating the pressure of hydraulic oil. Their performance directly determines the operating state of the hydraulic system, which in turn affects the safety of the ship's navigation.

Huade Hydraulic has long been deeply engaged in the research, development, and manufacturing of hydraulic components. With a profound understanding of the operational needs of ships, the company has launched the DR6DP1-50B75YM direct-acting electromagnetic hydraulic pressure reducing valve. This product has become the "safety guardian" of marine hydraulic systems, thanks to its excellent pressure control accuracy, reliable operating performance, and strong adaptability. It provides stable hydraulic control for ships and safeguards their safe navigation.

During a ship's voyage, the pressure requirements of the hydraulic system vary significantly under different working conditions. For example, the steering gear requires lower hydraulic pressure when turning at low speeds, but higher pressure when making emergency evasive turns at high speeds. Similarly, the hydraulic pressure of the cargo crane needs to be adjusted when lifting light loads versus heavy loads. The core advantage of Huade Hydraulic's DR6DP1-50B75YM direct-acting electromagnetic hydraulic pressure reducing valve lies in its ability to achieve high-precision pressure control. This ensures that the hydraulic system maintains a stable pressure output under various working conditions, providing reliable power support for key ship equipment.

The pressure reducing valve adopts an advanced direct-acting structural design. It uses electromagnetic control components to precisely adjust the spool displacement, thereby achieving accurate control of hydraulic oil pressure. Its pressure adjustment range covers 0.5-31.5MPa, and the pressure control accuracy can reach ±0.2MPa, which is far higher than the industry average of ±0.5MPa for similar products. In practical applications, when the ship's steering gear needs to adjust the turning angle, the DR6DP1-50B75YM pressure reducing valve can complete the pressure adjustment within 0.3 seconds according to the signal sent by the steering gear control system. This ensures that the steering gear operates smoothly and responds quickly.

After installing this pressure reducing valve on an ocean-going cargo ship, the steering deviation was controlled within ±1° when the ship encountered force 8 winds and waves. This was a 50% reduction compared to the deviation when using ordinary pressure reducing valves, significantly improving the ship's course stability under harsh sea conditions. For the ship's cargo crane, precise pressure control is not only related to operational efficiency but also directly affects operational safety. When the cargo crane lifts goods, the DR6DP1-50B75YM pressure reducing valve can adjust the hydraulic pressure in real-time according to the weight of the goods. This prevents the steel wire rope from breaking due to excessive pressure or the goods from falling due to insufficient pressure.

On a container ship, after equipping the cargo crane with this pressure reducing valve, the hydraulic pressure fluctuation range was controlled within 0.3MPa when lifting a 20-foot standard container (weighing approximately 20 tons). The lifting process was stable without shaking, and the hourly lifting efficiency increased by 15%. Moreover, there has not been a single operational safety hazard caused by improper pressure control. In addition, the pressure reducing valve is equipped with a pressure compensation function. Even when the flow rate of the hydraulic system changes, it can still maintain a stable outlet pressure, effectively avoiding equipment movement jams caused by flow fluctuations and further strengthening the "stable defense line" of the hydraulic system.

The navigation environment of ships is complex and changeable. Harsh conditions such as high temperature, high humidity, salt spray, and vibration place extremely high demands on the reliability of hydraulic components. In the design and production process of Huade Hydraulic's DR6DP1-50B75YM direct-acting electromagnetic hydraulic pressure reducing valve, full consideration was given to the harsh operating environment of ships. Through material upgrades, structural optimization, and strict quality testing, the product ensures long-lasting and reliable operating performance, allowing it to calmly cope with various complex "challenges."

In terms of material selection, the valve body of the pressure reducing valve is made of high-strength ductile iron QT600-3. After quenching and tempering treatment, its hardness reaches HB220-250, and its compressive strength exceeds 600MPa. This enables it to effectively resist the vibration and impact during the ship's navigation. The surface of the valve body is coated with a special salt spray protection coating. After a 1200-hour salt spray test, there were no obvious signs of corrosion, allowing it to operate stably for a long time in the marine environment with high seawater salt spray concentration.

Key internal components such as the valve core and spring are made of corrosion-resistant and wear-resistant stainless steel. The surface of the valve core is subjected to mirror polishing treatment, with a roughness of Ra ≤ 0.4μm. This not only reduces the flow resistance of the hydraulic oil but also lowers the component wear rate, extending the service life by more than 40% compared to ordinary materials. To ensure product reliability, Huade Hydraulic conducted comprehensive performance tests on the DR6DP1-50B75YM pressure reducing valve. In the high-temperature test, the pressure reducing valve operated continuously for 1000 hours at 80℃, and there was no significant change in pressure control accuracy. In the low-temperature test, after being stored at -40℃ for 24 hours, it could work normally immediately after being powered on without jamming. In the vibration test, after withstanding random vibrations of 10-2000Hz, all components were firmly connected, and the performance parameters remained stable.

When an Arctic research ship was operating in the Antarctic waters, the equipped DR6DP1-50B75YM pressure reducing valve worked continuously for 3 months in an extremely cold environment of -35℃ without any failures, ensuring the normal operation of the research equipment. In addition, the pressure reducing valve has good anti-pollution capabilities. The built-in high-precision filtering device can intercept impurity particles in the hydraulic oil, with a filtering accuracy of 10μm. This effectively prevents impurities from entering the valve core and causing jamming, further improving the operational reliability of the product in complex environments.

During the operation of a ship, the maintenance convenience and intelligence level of hydraulic components directly affect the ship's operation and maintenance efficiency and navigation safety. Huade Hydraulic's DR6DP1-50B75YM direct-acting electromagnetic hydraulic pressure reducing valve adopts an intelligent and convenient design concept. It not only reduces maintenance costs but also enables real-time monitoring and early warning to identify potential faults in advance, adding a layer of protection for the ship's safe navigation.

The pressure reducing valve is equipped with an intelligent status monitoring module. It can collect key parameters such as working pressure, temperature, and current in real-time and transmit the data to the ship's central control system via the CAN bus. Crew members can view the operating status of the pressure reducing valve in real-time on the monitoring screen in the bridge. When abnormalities such as excessive pressure, high temperature, or current fluctuations occur, the system will automatically issue an audible and visual alarm and display the cause of the fault and handling suggestions, helping crew members quickly identify and resolve problems.

During the voyage of a coastal passenger ship, the monitoring module of the DR6DP1-50B75YM pressure reducing valve detected an abnormal increase in pressure and issued an alarm in a timely manner. According to the system prompts, the crew checked and found that the hydraulic oil filter element was clogged. After replacing the filter element, the fault was eliminated, avoiding damage to the hydraulic system due to excessive pressure and ensuring the safe navigation of the passenger ship. In terms of maintenance convenience, the DR6DP1-50B75YM pressure reducing valve adopts a modular structural design. Key components such as the electromagnetic coil, seals, and filter element can be disassembled and replaced individually without disassembling the entire pressure reducing valve. This greatly shortens the maintenance time.

The maintenance of ordinary pressure reducing valves usually requires 2-3 technicians to spend 4 hours to complete, while the maintenance of this pressure reducing valve can be completed by 1 technician within 1 hour, improving maintenance efficiency by more than 75%. At the same time, Huade Hydraulic also provides comprehensive after-sales service support for this product. Through the remote diagnosis system, it can assist crew members in solving complex faults, reducing the ship's downtime caused by equipment failures. When a ship of a container shipping company was sailing in the Indian Ocean, the DR6DP1-50B75YM pressure reducing valve had a slight leak. The crew communicated with Huade Hydraulic's technical personnel through the remote diagnosis system. Under the guidance of the technical personnel, the seal replacement was completed in only 30 minutes, avoiding the need for the ship to stop at a port for maintenance and saving a lot of time and costs.

From precisely controlling hydraulic pressure to ensure stable equipment operation, to reliable performance in coping with complex marine environments, and to intelligent and convenient design for improving operation and maintenance efficiency, Huade Hydraulic's DR6DP1-50B75YM direct-acting electromagnetic hydraulic pressure reducing valve has become the "safety guardian" of marine hydraulic systems with its all-round advantages. In the future, with the development trend of ship intelligence and large-scale, Huade Hydraulic will continue to focus on technological innovation, continuously optimize product performance, provide better hydraulic solutions for the shipping industry, safeguard the safe navigation of every ship, and contribute to the high-quality development of the marine transportation industry.
