Our customers choose Remote Control RC200 and RCG actuators in low temperature design when they need
actuators for tough applications.
A gas refinery in Siberia has installed more than one hundred Remote Control Scotch Yoke Actuators on various
high performance valves. The demands are very high on actuators and accessories under these extreme
conditions and climate. All Remote Control actuators in this installation are designed for low temperature applications. |

Remote Control in Falun, Sweden, mounted the actuators on valves of ANSI Class #150 and Class #300 sized
from DN 1” / DN 25 to
DN 16” / DN 400. They are special manufactured metal tightened low temperature
“cryogenic” valves with enhanced packing boxes.
All Remote Control actuators have RC-M1 manual overrides. The
requirement is that all actuators have valid Russian certificates. |

Cold from piping sometimes covers the actuators in ice. The pictures show Remote Control actuators
with positioners mounted on ball segment valves. The RC actuators work all the time in spite of the ice
build up. |

Advantages with Remote Control Actuators:
- RC Actuators are available in low temperature design.
- RC-M1 manual override is integrated in the end cap of the actuator, which gives a very compact unit with minimum weight.
- Remote Control Scotch Yoke actuators consume less air compared to other types of actuators, which is more cost-effective for the customer and also environment friendly.
- RC200, RCG and RC1990 have ATEX certificates and Russian Ex-certificates.

From Remote Control (USA): |
|
|
| Located in the North of Canada
the huge Long Lake Project has been established. This Nexen & OPTI Canada site will produce 60,000 barrels/day of premium
synthetic crude oil from the enormous oil sands fields in Alberta. It is
a high technology operation which requires high quality equipment. The
temperature can reach lows down to -45° C / -50° F. To have valve
actuators working under these conditions they have to be made and built
according to low temperature specifications. |
| |
|
| Through Romag Controls, our
distributor in Canada, Remote Control actuators were specified for
certain applications. Remote Control (USA) built several automated
packages designed for low temperature -45° C / -50° F. |
| |
|
| The Remote Control actuators
were mounted on cryogenic butterfly control valves and have Foundation
Fieldbus positioners, stainless steel piping, and filter regulators. The
RC200 actuator - butterfly valve combinations are used in the cryogenic
cold box processing units. |

 |
| RC260SR-80 with FF Positioner,
Limit Switch and S/S Filter Regulator. |
| |
|
| The Long Lake Project has seen
the first application of large-scale gasification in Canada. The air
separation unit, constructed by Air Liquide, will supply 3,900 metric
tons per day of oxygen. This is one of the largest single-train
facilities in the world. Air Liquide is one of the leaders in industrial
and medical gases. Remote Control actuators have been used for a number
of Air Liquide projects in the past with great success. |
| |
|
| Air Liquide used Remote Control
RC200 and RCC500 series spring return Scotch Yoke actuators for the Long
Lake Project. |
| |
|
| All actuators are fitted with
Foundation Fieldbus positioners, stainless steel piping, stainless steel
FR-units and stainless steel solenoid valves for quick operation. |
| |
|
 |
| RCC500 Series Spring Return
actuator with FF Positioner, Limit Switch and Solenoids for quick
stroking speed. |
| |
|
| The customer chose Remote
Control Actuators with low temperature specification. All
accessories including mounting kits were mounted on the actuators by
Remote Control (USA). All units were carefully tested before delivery
and the customer could easily mount the actuators on the valves. |
| |
|
| Delivery in time for such a big
project like the Long Lake Project is very important. Remote Control
delivered all complete actuator packages in good time according to the
customer delivery schedule. |
