AI Technical Summary
Most existing three-way ball valves are floating ball valves, which have high operating torque, large valve seat deformation, unstable sealing performance, short service life, and are inconvenient to arrange pipelines below the valve stem, making them unsuitable for high-pressure and large-diameter applications.
A bottom-channel three-way fixed ball valve is designed. Through the structure of the support plate and the lower valve cover, the channel is located below the valve stem. The ball is fixed by the support plate bearing and the valve stem bearing, which reduces the effect of the medium pressure on the valve seat. Spring preload is used to achieve sealing and reduce the operating torque.
It reduces operating torque, extends valve seat service life, improves sealing performance, simplifies on-site piping layout, and is suitable for high-pressure, large-diameter applications.
