Electric screw ball valves are a significant innovation in fluid control technology, combining the reliability of traditional ball valves with the precision and efficiency of electric actuation. These valves play a crucial role in various industries, including oil and gas, water treatment, chemical processing, and HVAC systems. This article explores the design, operation, advantages, and applications of electric screw ball valves.

    Design and Operation

    Electric screw ball valves feature a spherical closure element with a hole through its center. When the valve is rotated, the hole aligns with the flow path, allowing fluid to pass through. Conversely, rotating the valve 90 degrees closes it, creating a tight seal. The "electric" aspect refers to the actuator, which is powered by electricity and controlled by a control system, often integrated into automated processes.
