Pneumatic ball valve principle, structure and working principle

Principle of Pneumatic Ball Valve|Structure, Principle of Pneumatic Ball Valve
Pneumatic ball valve is a combination of pneumatic actuator and ball valve, instead of manual operation, not only saves a lot of manpower and material resources, but also can control multiple ball valves at the same time. The actuator work of the pneumatic ball valve drives the valve body to open and close quickly, and the speed can achieve the effect of cutting off within seconds. The execution speed of pneumatic actuators is relatively fast, the fastest switching speed is 0.05 seconds/time, so it is usually called pneumatic fast cut-off ball valve.

The pneumatic actuator of the pneumatic ball valve is mainly divided into single-acting and double-acting. The pneumatic head is equipped with accessories such as triple pieces, positioners, limit switches, etc., which can be used as a throttle to adjust the flow. At the same time, the control box can be added to control the switch in the remote control room.

Working principle of pneumatic ball valve:
The pneumatic ball valve only needs to enter the pneumatic actuator through compressed air, the air source drives the ball core to rotate 0-90 degrees and the small turning torque can control the switch of the ball valve. The valve positioner can be assembled according to the working conditions to control the ball valve. The opening of the core is used to adjust the medium flow. The sphere rotates around the centerline of the valve body to achieve opening, with a circular through hole or channel passing through its axis. When the center of the ball rotates to 90°, the valve is in a tightly closed state. When the actuator is working, the valve can be tightly closed with only a small torque, so that the principle of rapid cut-off can be achieved.

Pneumatic ball valve structure classification:
Pneumatic ball valves can be divided into on-off type pneumatic ball valves and regulating-type pneumatic ball valves according to the difference in structure. The on-off type has only two actions of opening and closing, while the regulating type can control the flow rate!
1. The valve core of the on-off pneumatic ball valve is generally an O-type ball core, and the O-type ball valve spool is a floating precision casting. The diameter of the flow channel is the same as that of the pipeline, and it is mainly used as a cut-off switch.
2. The valve core of the adjustable pneumatic ball valve is a V-shaped ball core, which adopts a fixed structure, with a V-shaped cut on the ball core. Adding a positioner to the actuator can realize the proportion adjustment of fiber-containing and granular media.

V-type regulating ball valve

Working principle of pneumatic V-type regulating ball valve
The ball core of the pneumatic V-shaped regulating ball valve is designed with a special V-shaped notch, which has a shearing effect on the valve seat. It is especially suitable for media containing fibers, small solid particles, slurry and other media. According to different structural methods, it can generally be divided into flange and Wafer type; Pneumatic V-type ball valve is a fixed ball valve and also a single-seat sealed ball valve. It has the best adjustment performance among ball valves and can achieve flow adjustment. At the same time, since the valve core and seat are rotated without gaps, they can be wiped by themselves. The fouling on the ball and valve seat keeps a good seal between the ball and the valve seat.

Working principle of pneumatic V-shaped regulating ball valve:
Pneumatic V-shaped regulating ball valve realizes different degrees of proportionality according to the V-shaped angle of the V-shaped sphere. It is generally used in conjunction with a valve positioner to achieve proportional adjustment. The V-shaped spool is most suitable for various adjustment occasions and has a large rated flow coefficient. ,, The pressure loss is small, the use flow capacity is large, and it has accurate shut-off characteristics and control functions. The flow characteristics are approximately equal percentages. The opening and closing parts adopt the V-shaped ball structure, which completely solves the problem of easy deposition of medium in the valve cavity.
Features of pneumatic V-shaped regulating ball valve:
1. Pneumatic V-shaped ball valve V-shaped gap and valve seat produce a strong shear force to cut off impurities such as fibers, and has a self-cleaning function to avoid valve jamming.
2. The pneumatic V-type regulating ball valve has an inherent flow characteristic of approximately equal percentage and an adjustable ratio of up to 300:1, so it can provide precise control in a wide range of changes.

Note: Because the pneumatic V-type regulating ball valve is generally a single-seat sealed ball valve, it is not suitable for two-way use. Due to its streamlined shape and full right-angle rotation control, the maximum volume is extremely high, the flow capacity is particularly large, and the flow resistance is small.

The valve core of the pneumatic V-shaped regulating ball valve is designed as a V-shaped gap with a special switch. The V-shaped gap and the valve seat generate a strong shear force, which can cut off high-viscosity media containing fibers or small solid particles, and has a self-cleaning function , To avoid the phenomenon of valve jamming. Pneumatic V-shaped ball valve is suitable for regulation and control, with high stability. Even in the case of small flow or high-viscosity medium, it can also ensure the accuracy of control within the entire range; while O-shaped ball valve is suitable for cutting off, relatively It is economical.
There is a V-shaped opening on the sphere of the pneumatic V-shaped regulating ball valve. As the ball rotates, the opening area changes, but the shape of the opening surface is always triangular. The flow characteristics are approximately equal percentages, the adjustable ratio is large, and the pressure loss is small. The flow capacity is large, and it has accurate interception characteristics and control functions. The opening and closing parts adopt a V-shaped spherical structure, which completely solves the problem of easy deposition of medium in the valve cavity. It is suitable for fibrous and slurry fluids!
The angle of the V-shaped port of the pneumatic V-shaped ball valve can be customized to meet more precise shut-off characteristics and control functions. Generally, more V-shaped valves are used in slurry media. They are similar to cam flex valves and are much better than O-shaped valves. V-shaped ball valves are used as regulating valves. For example, if the medium is not clean, the flow coefficient is low, and the leakage level is high, etc. occasion.

The electric V-shaped regulating ball valve has a special-shaped V-shaped incision. When the valve is closed, the V-shaped incision and the valve seat form a wedge shape, which has a shearing effect. The electric V-shaped ball valve is suitable for the control of fibrous slurry, sewage and viscous particle media. It can prevent the seizure of dirt between the ball and the valve seat. It has a self-cleaning function and is a wide-ranging regulating valve.
When the electric V-shaped ball valve rotates, the V-shaped blade of the ball is tangent to the valve seat, thereby cutting off the fiber and solid matter in the fluid. However, the general ball valve does not have this function, so it is easy to cause the fiber impurities to get stuck when closed. , Bring great inconvenience to repair and maintenance. The valve core of the electric V-shaped ball valve will not be jammed by the fiber, and the flow rate of the pipeline medium is adjusted and controlled according to the change of the opening area of ​​the V-shaped gap.
Note: Since the electric V-type regulating ball valve is generally a single-seat sealing ball valve, it is not suitable for two-way use. The integral valve body structure is adopted, and there is no potential for leakage.
Features of electric V-shaped ball valve:
1. It has the advantages of compact structure, small volume, vertical and horizontal installation, etc., adopts movable metal valve seat, self-compensation function, and has superior sealing performance and long service life.
2. The electric V-shaped ball valve adopts a double-bearing structure, which has high mechanical stability and low starting torque, which ensures that the valve has excellent sensitivity and induction speed.
3. Maximum reliability (safety): The valve body is a whole, sturdy and durable, operation is not affected by pipeline pressure, and leakage of the valve body can be avoided.
4. The V-shaped gap and valve seat of the electric V-shaped regulating ball valve produce a strong shearing force to cut off impurities such as fibers, and has a self-cleaning function to avoid valve jamming.
5. Maximum flow volume: Due to the streamlined shape of the electric V-shaped ball valve and the full right-angle rotation control, the maximum volume is particularly high, the flow capacity is particularly large, and the flow resistance is small.

Three-way ball valve T type vs L type

The difference between pneumatic three-way ball valve T type and L type
Pneumatic three-way ball valve is a new type of valve that has been widely used in recent years. It is mainly used to cut off, distribute and change the flow direction of the medium in the pipeline. According to the different internal structure, it can be divided into L type and T type, but From the appearance, there is no difference between the two! So what is the difference between the principles and applicable working conditions of the T-type and L-type pneumatic three-way ball valves? How to choose?

Pneumatic flanged three-way ball valve Pneumatic internal threaded three-way ball valve The common connection method of pneumatic three-way ball valve is flange or internal thread. Choose according to the actual working conditions of the pipeline! Then in the process of use, you should choose different structural forms according to different working conditions. From the technological point of view, the T-type ball valve can replace the L-type ball valve. The working principle diagrams of the two are as follows:
The L-type pneumatic three-way ball valve is used to switch the flow direction of the medium, which can connect two perpendicular channels (such as the L-type flow diagram). The T-type pneumatic three-way ball valve can not only switch the flow direction of the medium, but also make the three channels communicate with each other. At the same time, it can also close any channel to connect the other two channels to flexibly control the merging or splitting of the media in the pipeline.

The difference between T-type electric three-way ball valve and L-type electric three-way ball valve
Electric three-way ball valve is a new type of three-way port switching ball valve, which can be used to control the direction, split or merge of the three pipeline media. According to the different ball core structure, it can be divided into T-type or L-type, T-type electric The difference between the three-way ball valve and the L-type electric three-way ball valve is mainly the difference in the internal structure, and there is no difference in appearance! The T-shaped ball valve can connect three orthogonal pipelines with each other and cut off the third channel to split and merge, while the L-shaped ball valve can only connect two orthogonal pipelines, and cannot maintain the third pipeline at the same time. Connectivity only plays a role of distribution.
As can be seen from the above figure, the T-type ball valve is mainly used for the diversion or mixing of media, and the L-type ball valve is mainly used for reversing! L-type three-way ball valve is used for distribution and switching that do not require 3-way, and the operation is more convenient. There are only two valve positions, and there are positioning, and it can be turned 90 degrees without error; T-type three-way ball valve has a wide range of channels to choose from , There are many valve positions, generally there is no positioning, if you replace the L-type, it should be turned 180 degrees.
Electric flanged three-way ball valve Electric internal threaded three-way ball valve From the technological point of view, the T-type electric three-way ball valve can replace the L-type electric three-way ball valve, but the L-type ball valve cannot replace the T-type ball valve! In the process of use, different structures should be selected according to different working conditions, and the T-type ball valve can flow through but the L-type ball valve cannot.

Schematic diagram of high platform ball valve

There are many types of pneumatic ball valves, which can be divided into various models according to pressure, material, connection form, applied medium, including control form. Today we will analyze the difference and choice between the pneumatic high platform ball valve and the ordinary pneumatic ball valve with bracket!
Description and advantages and disadvantages of pneumatic high platform ball valve:
Pneumatic high platform ball valve, as the name implies, is that the ball valve adopts a high platform design. The ISO standard is commonly used. The purpose of this is to facilitate the installation of the drive device. The connecting plate can be directly installed and connected with the (electric/pneumatic) actuator without a bracket. And connecting shaft. It can save costs by avoiding the bracket, improve production efficiency, and greatly improve the stability between the valve and the actuator, and the performance is very stable in use, so the application of the overall valve will not be affected by the looseness of the bracket or the large coupling gap. To
The advantage of pneumatic high platform ball valve is that its shape is more beautiful than ordinary ball valve, more refined, beautiful and generous, it takes up less space, and the structure is more compact. The disadvantage is that it is not resistant to high temperature, and the temperature is transmitted to the cylinder. The rubber ring in the cylinder is easy to age, and it is generally applicable. In the pipeline where the medium temperature is below 80 degrees. To
Description and advantages and disadvantages of pneumatic ball valve with bracket:
The use and function of the pneumatic bracket ball valve and the high platform ball valve are the same. The difference is that between the pneumatic bracket ball valve actuator and the ball valve body, there is a bracket supported, usually high medium temperature needs to be equipped with a bracket , This can avoid damage to the actuator due to high temperature. In layman’s terms, the ultimate purpose of the bracket is to extend the service life of the valve. The advantage of the pneumatic ball valve with bracket is that the heat dissipation function is relatively strong. For example, the medium temperature of the pipeline is above 300 degrees. At this time, it is recommended that the valve stem of the pneumatic ball valve should be correspondingly lengthened and the bracket should be attached at the same time. The reason for the extension of the valve stem with the bracket is to separate the valve body of the ball valve from the actuator, so as to prevent the medium temperature of the ball valve body from being too high, thereby affecting the service life of the actuator. For example, when the valve body of a ball valve is immersed in a liquid medium, and the liquid medium is strongly corrosive, the operator cannot approach it, and the actuator is outside the liquid surface, and the actuator needs to be operated by the staff. In this case It is necessary to choose a ball valve with a longer stem and a bracket, and if the liquid is strongly corrosive, the material of the ball valve must also be standard stainless steel, so as to ensure the normal operation of the pneumatic ball valve.
