World's First High-Temperature and High-Pressure Non-Powered Steam Valve Launched by Aomei
On March 18, 2026, the delivery ceremony for the first 16" CL900 high-temperature and high-pressure non-powered steam valve independently developed by Tianjin Aomei Automation System Co., Ltd. was successfully concluded. Industry partners, experts from Tianjin University of Science and Technology, and multiple media outlets witnessed this milestone event. As a fully independently developed high-end valve, it fills the global gap in the field of high-temperature and high-pressure non-powered steam control, ushering in a new era where China's high-end industrial valves strive for global leadership.
Zhuo Jiewei, Chairman of Aomei, delivered a speech at the ceremony, detailing the original R&D journey over the past year. The R&D team, together with partners, tackled challenges relentlessly, conducting hundreds of technological breakthroughs and more than 20 in-depth seminars. They overcame key core difficulties in materials, sealing, and structure, ultimately transforming design blueprints into tangible achievements. He emphasized, "The birth of this new technology is a vivid embodiment of new quality productive forces in the high-end equipment manufacturing industry - it boasts higher technological content, higher value content, and higher green content." This is not merely a product iteration, but a "power revolution" in the international valve industry. He expressed confidence, "From now on, in the global high-end valve sector, China will officially shift from a follower to a leader, and the landscape of the global valve market will surely be reshaped by China's intelligent manufacturing."
According to industry experts, the delivered high-temperature and high-pressure non-powered steam valve, as a world first, has achieved major technological breakthroughs, completely subverting traditional design and transmission modes. It innovatively eliminates traditional actuators such as manual, turbine, electric, and pneumatic devices. Through an entirely new valve stem output mode, it achieves an exponential increase in valve opening and closing speed, with core advantages including no external power supply, zero friction, zero leakage, high temperature resistance, high pressure resistance, long service life, and low maintenance costs. Experts noted that following its successful demonstration at Hebei Wenfeng Steel & Aluminum Co., Ltd., the serialized new product will be widely applied in high-demand steam scenarios such as supercritical thermal power, nuclear power, cogeneration, petroleum refining, coal chemical engineering, high-temperature reaction equipment, blast furnace and converter steam systems, as well as pharmaceuticals, food, and papermaking. This will comprehensively solve the "bottleneck" problems in many key fields such as energy, petrochemicals, coal chemicals, and electric power.
Tianjin Aomei Automation System Co., Ltd. is a technology-based production and service enterprise integrating technology development, manufacturing, and marketing services. It mainly engages in the R&D, production, sales, consulting, and services of industrial equipment such as control valves, actuators, instruments, and automatic control systems. For years, adhering to the corporate philosophy of "Delving into Profound Technology, Striving for Perfection, Pursuing Excellence, and Aspiring for the Future" and resolutely refusing to be a "mere metal giant", the company has always focused on high-end positioning through technology and differentiation through innovation. With 3 national invention patents, more than 30 utility model and design patents, and 9 software copyrights, its products have been widely adopted in national key projects and become the preferred choice for high-end customers in fields such as petroleum, chemicals, hydropower, thermal power, shipbuilding, metallurgy, energy, machinery, food, pharmaceuticals, and urban water supply and drainage. Today, the company has been recognized as a National High-Tech Enterprise, a National Science and Technology-Based SME, a Tianjin "Specialized, Refined, Distinctive, and Innovative" SME, and a Tianjin Innovative SME.
This year, Aomei has achieved a high-quality start with steady order growth and frequent market successes. Zhuo Jiewei stated that Aomei will take the delivery of this new product as a new starting point, continue to increase R&D investment, refine product quality, scale new technological heights, and develop more high-end and high-quality equipment, contributing more to the high-quality development of China's high-end equipment manufacturing industry.
