From an economic perspective, the initial cost and lifecycle cost of valve assembly components need to be considered comprehensively. Initially, modular components may be slightly more expensive than integral valves because they involve the procurement and assembly of multiple parts. However, in the long run, their maintainability reduces replacement costs.
For example, if a seal wears out, it only costs a small amount of RMB to replace, while an integral valve may require a complete replacement, resulting in higher costs. Compared to some high-end technologies (such as intelligent control systems), valve assembly components do not require complex software or training, reducing additional investment. However, in large-scale production, integral valves may be more economical due to mass production. The advantage of valve assembly components lies in their flexibility, allowing users to choose different tiers of components according to their budget, such as replacing high-end materials with standard materials to control costs. However, it should be noted that low-cost components may lead to frequent failures, which could increase the total expenditure. Overall, it is a balanced choice suitable for applications that prioritize long-term value.
