Electrically actuated ball valves are an alternative to pneumatic valves. They can be used in many different applications and offer more flexibility in process conditions.
These quarter-turn flow control devices are designed for long cycle life and have excellent sealing characteristics. They’re a common choice for oil pipelines, chemical handling, and other industrial processes.
Features
A ball valve is a valve that uses a ball to control the flow of liquid or gas. They are usually quarter-turn valves, meaning they can rotate in 90-degree increments from fully open to fully closed.
These valves are used in various industries and for different purposes. They are available in different types, including stainless steel and plastic.
One of the most common parts of a ball valve is its body. It is designed to keep all the units of the valve in place and to prevent damage from external threats.
The body also serves as a pressure boundary, protecting the units inside from leaks and overpressure.
The body of a ball valve is a shell made from either steel or plastic that holds all the units together and keeps them safe from outside damage. It also helps with the overall design of the valve.
Functions
An van bi điều khiển điện use a motor to rotate a ball with a hole in its center to control the flow. They are used in many industries for control and distribution of fluids, air or gases with pinpoint precision.
In some cases, these devices can be triggered manually or automatically by a pneumatic, electric or hydraulic actuator. These devices also offer a range of other functions such as servo operation, opening signal position feedback, position indication, simple connection and others.
The main function of a ball valve is to divert and switch off the flow. They come in various designs such as L-shaped, T-shaped, full port and reduced bore.
Installation
A motorized ball valve works similarly to a manual valve, except that it does the turning for you. The sphere (or hole) in the center of the valve moves as you turn the actuator, allowing you to control how much liquid flows through the opening.
Pneumatic and electrical actuators offer a higher level of precision than manual valves, allowing you to open or close the valve by very precise degrees. This is achieved by controlling the air pressure at the inlet port.
Before installing an van bi điều khiển điện, ensure that the piping system is clean and free of any debris or welding residue. Also, make sure that the flange is at ambient temperature before installation.
Maintenance
There are a few things to know about the maintenance of an Electric Controlled Ball Valve. These include the need for regular cleanings, lubricating valve parts and observing any changes in noise and vibration.
Regular cleanings allow the valve to remain in good condition, so it lasts longer and requires fewer repairs. Also, the cleaning process helps remove debris from the piping system, which may cause corrosion or abrasion.
The cleaning solution should be non-corrosive, so it won’t affect the metal components. Gas-based cleaners work well for metal components, while alcohol or water-based solutions are ideal for non-metal ones.
Using lubricative medias such as oil reduces seal wear and extends the life of the valve. It also helps prevent the valve from being damaged by particulates in the piping systems.
Valves are a crucial component in industrial processes. They regulate the flow of liquids, gases and steam. They should be working properly at all times to keep production running smoothly and ensure safety.
