Points to prolong the life of electric ball valves
Electric ball valves are divided into explosion-proof and non-explosion-proof types, and are widely used in various fields such as natural gas, oil products, paper making, chemical plants, and mechanical equipment. In the face of such a large amount of use, how can we improve the working efficiency of the electric ball valve and save costs, and extend the service life of the valve is undoubtedly the most concern of every customer, so what method can be used to extend the use of the electric ball valve? As for the life span, we have summarized the following methods for you as a reference:
u Pre-use inspection method: The valve must be checked for sundries or iron filings before use. This is beyond doubt.
u Medium flushing method: The flushing function of the medium can be used to flush and take away things that are easy to deposit and block, thereby improving the anti-blocking function of the valve.
u External flushing method: For some media that are easy to precipitate and contain solid particles but are adjusted by ordinary electric ball valves, there will often be problems of clogging of the orifice and guide. The flushing gas and steam can be externally connected to the bottom plug of the lower valve cover. When the valve is blocked or stuck, open the external gas or steam valve to complete the flushing work without moving the electric ball valve, so that the electric ball valve can operate normally.
u Cleaning method: Welding slag, rust, slag, etc. in the pipeline can easily cause blockage of the pipeline channel at the orifice and guiding part, which is the most common failure. In this case, it must be unloaded and cleaned to remove the slag. If the sealing surface is damaged, it should be ground; at the same time, the bottom plug should be opened to facilitate flushing of the slag falling into the lower valve cover from the balance hole, and the pipe Road for flushing. Before putting it into operation, the electric ball valve should be fully opened, and the medium should flow for a period of time before being brought into normal operation.
The above are the main points for you to extend the life of electric ball valves. If you still don’t know about this, please come to consult our website, and we will have a professional person to explain it for you.
