Electric V-ball valves are crucial components in modern automated control systems, offering precise control over the flow of fluids or gases. These valves are particularly important in industries like oil and gas, chemicals, HVAC, and water treatment. The integration of these valves with automation systems enhances efficiency, reduces manual intervention, and ensures higher accuracy in regulating flow rates. In this article, we will delve into the functionality of electric V-ball valves, with a special emphasis on how Helix Automation, a leader in automation solutions, is revolutionizing their application.
What is an Electric V-Ball Valve?
An electric V-ball valve combines the functions of a traditional ball valve and a control valve. The "V" shape refers to the specially designed ball inside the valve, which has a V-shaped notch. This design allows for highly accurate throttling control, making it ideal for applications where flow modulation is essential. The valve is controlled by an electric actuator, which receives signals from a control system, enabling the valve to open or close gradually, based on specific requirements.
