PNEUMATIC ACTUATOR OPERATED BALL VALVE

A Pneumatic Actuator Operated Ball Valve is a type of valve that controls fluid flow using a ball with a bore, rotated by a pneumatic actuator.

Product description

A Pneumatic Actuator Operated Ball Valve is a type of valve that controls fluid flow using a ball with a bore, rotated by a pneumatic actuator. Adding a limit switch allows for position feedback, indicating whether the valve is open or closed.


Key Components:

  1. Ball Valve:
    • Typically made of Stainless Steel (SS), Carbon Steel (CS), or Brass.
    • Available in 2-way (on/off) and 3-way (diverting/mixing) configurations.
    • Seals made of PTFE, Teflon, or other materials based on application.
  2. Pneumatic Actuator:
    • Types: Double-acting (air to open/close) or Spring-return (failsafe operation).
    • Operates with compressed air (typically 4-8 bar).
    • Fast and reliable automation with minimal maintenance.
  3. Limit Switch Box:
    • Provides electrical feedback on valve position (Open/Closed).
    • Contains mechanical or proximity switches (e.g., SPDT, DPDT).
    • Often NAMUR standard for easy mounting.
    • Compatible with PLC, SCADA, and DCS systems for automation.

Advantages:

Fast & Efficient: Quick actuation compared to manual operation.
Automation Ready: Integrates with control systems for remote monitoring.
Reliable Feedback: Limit switch ensures accurate position status.
Durable & Leakproof: Designed for high-pressure and high-temperature applications.
Energy Efficient: Uses compressed air, reducing electrical energy needs.


Applications:

  • Oil & Gas: Flow control in pipelines.
  • Water Treatment: Automated control of water flow.
  • Pharmaceutical & Food: Hygienic applications with SS body valves.
  • Chemical Industry: Handles aggressive chemicals.
  • HVAC & Fire Protection: Used in automated fire suppression systems.
