Ball Valves can be driven in various ways, each of which has its own unique characteristics and application scenarios. The following are several common ball valve driving methods and their characteristics:
Manual Ball Valve
Features: Manual ball valves drive the ball to rotate by rotating the handle or operating rod to open, close or adjust the fluid. It has a simple structure, is easy to operate, and does not require external energy, so it is widely used in various small pipeline systems and equipment.
Application: Due to its easy operation, manual ball valves are often used in homes, commercial buildings and some industrial occasions that do not require frequent operation.
Pneumatic Ball Valve
Features: Pneumatic ball valves drive the actuator through an air source (such as compressed air) to control the rotation of the ball. It has the advantages of fast response speed, long operating distance and high degree of automation. Pneumatic ball valves are usually equipped with accessories such as solenoid valves and limit switches to achieve remote control or automatic control.
Application: Pneumatic ball valves are widely used in occasions where fluid media need to be quickly cut off or adjusted, such as petrochemical, electric power, water treatment and other industries.
Electric Ball Valve
Features: The electric ball valve drives the actuator through the motor to control the rotation of the ball. It combines the advantages of electric actuators, such as easy operation, precise control, and easy automation. Electric ball valves are usually equipped with intelligent control modules to realize remote monitoring, fault diagnosis and other functions.
Application: Electric ball valves are suitable for occasions that require high-precision control, remote operation or a high degree of automation, such as automated production lines, sewage treatment systems, building automation, etc.
Hydraulic Ball Valve
Features: The hydraulic ball valve drives the actuator through the hydraulic system to control the rotation of the ball. It has the advantages of large driving force, fast response speed, and smooth operation. Hydraulic ball valves are usually used in large pipeline systems or occasions that need to withstand harsh environments such as high pressure and high temperature.
Application: Hydraulic ball valves are widely used in the fields of petroleum, natural gas, and chemical industry, especially in complex working conditions such as high pressure, high temperature, and high viscosity media.
