[0015] The high-temperature resistant hard-sealed pneumatic ball valve provided by the utility model includes a pneumatic actuator and a valve assembly. Based on the structural design of the valve assembly and the design of the connection between the various components, the high-temperature resistant hard-sealed pneumatic ball valve can achieve:

[0016] (1) The gland assembly used in the pneumatic ball valve can adjust the degree of compression of the packing according to actual conditions, thereby ensuring good sealing inside the ball valve.

After the valve is opened, the pipeline medium begins to be discharged. The valve closing part is straight with the valve channel. There is no obstruction in the flow channel, which optimizes the flow channel area and makes the valve have a better pressure drop. It greatly reduces the cavitation caused by the medium to the valve internals, and also greatly increases the flow performance of the valve medium.
