2-Way Control Ball Valve with Modulating Actuator

The 2-way control valve consists of a heavy-duty ball valve and either a quarter turn electric or pneumatic actuator. The valve provides a high degree of accuracy and repeatability for accurate temperature control, and are equally accurate in mixing or diverting service over a wide flow range. The heavy-duty rotor design provides tight temperature control without high maintenance requirements. The system is available in three standard control configurations: electric; pneumatic; and electro-pneumatic, offering flexibility for most requirements.

Some actuator options are designed and reinforced for vibration service and are qualified to Lloyd’s Marine Requirements for shipboard service. Certain valve and actuator combinations can be directly mounted to reciprocating machinery such as diesel engines, without vibration isolation. Standard valves are suitable for a variety of fluids such as water, water/glycol, sea water, lubricating and hydraulic oils. Optional body materials are available for services involving synthetic or fire-resistant oils, deionized water and ammonia or freon in oil.

Key benefits

• Small physical size
• Ease of integration - valve size matches pipe size,
  resulting in reduced installation time and installation costs
• Flexible design - ports can be configured to suit installation
• Low pressure drop - compared to other valve types
• Simplified set up and maintenance
• Hand wheel allows manual adjustment of valve
  (optional on pneumatic valve)
