AI Technical Summary
After long-term use, the sealing surfaces of the ball and seat of existing ball valves are prone to wear, especially under high temperature and high pressure environments, which can easily lead to erosion and leakage. Furthermore, when the valve is in a small opening state, the fluid can scour the ball orifice and the ball flow channel, affecting stability.
A ball valve for reducing erosion was designed, which adopts an integrated structure of main valve body and auxiliary valve body. The ball and sealing seat are fitted together by a conical hole and a sealing surface, and the supporting seat is in close contact with the ball. The flow channel design reduces the fluid flow rate, and the ball and sealing seat always maintain contact on the sealing surface, which enhances the connection strength.
It effectively reduces the erosion of the ball orifice and sealing seat by the fluid, improving the stability and service life of the ball valve, especially performing excellently in high temperature, high pressure and corrosive media transportation scenarios.
