June 2025
Valves, Actuators & Pump Control
Schneider Electric offers the full range of innovative SpaceLogic and EasyLogic ball valves and actuators. These cutting-edge products are designed to optimise HVAC system performance, ensuring comfort and energy efficiency in commercial and residential buildings. The SpaceLogic and EasyLogic ball valve and actuator ranges are a reliable and efficient choice for providing comfort in various applications. “Our SpaceLogic range offers a comprehensive portfolio of valves and actuators that provide optimal control and energy efficiency. These products are part of Schneider Electric’s EcoStruxure for Buildings, which includes controllers, sensors and other devices that enable reliable and efficient building automation solutions,” says Mark Freeman, offer manager, Digital Building for Anglophone Africa at Schneider Electric. “The SpaceLogic ball valves and actuators are designed to fit a wide variety of control applications, meeting all global and regional requirements and regulations.”
Accurate and stable control
Freeman explains that the SpaceLogic range of valves and actuators is designed to optimise HVAC system performance, ensuring energy efficiency and reducing operational costs. Additionally, the characterised equal percentage models provide accurate and stable control making them ideal for various applications.
“The low-clearance actuator is suitable for confined spaces making installation easier and more flexible, while the heavy-duty design with wrench flats prevents end connections from rounding and ensures a secure fit,” he says.
“The valves and actuators are designed to be interchangeable and easily configured in the field, allowing for future upgrades and customisation. Our SpaceLogic range is suitable for hot or chilled water and solutions of up to 60% glycol, making them ideal for Variable Air Volume (VAV) re-heat, fan-coil and unit ventilator applications.”

Precise control
He adds that the more economically priced EasyLogic range features a new generation of characterised control valves with a V-shaped ball core design that provides a perfect equal percentage flow curve. Coupled with high-precision valve actuators, the EasyLogic control ball valves ensure precise control and energy efficiency in various applications. These products are designed to address operational inefficiencies and improve process safety making them ideal for industries such as oil and gas, minerals and mining and food and beverage.
He notes that the EasyLogic range is designed for easy installation and maintenance, reducing downtime and operational costs. It is suitable for a wide range of applications, including re-heat on VAV boxes, fan coil units, hot and chilled water coils in air handling units and unit ventilators.
With their innovative designs and versatile applications these products reflect Schneider Electric’s commitment to sustainability and excellence in energy management. By leveraging the advanced capabilities of the SpaceLogic and EasyLogic ranges, businesses and individuals can achieve superior comfort, reduced operational costs and a greener future,” Freeman concludes.
