Actuation Valve

Steam jacketed ball valves, designed for optimal heat retention and efficiency, are ideal for applications involving viscous or temperature-sensitive media. Constructed with a surrounding steam jacket, these valves ensure consistent temperature maintenance, preventing fluid solidification and enhancing flow. With their high-performance capability, they are commonly used in industries like petrochemicals, pharmaceuticals, and food processing, where precise temperature control is essential.

Key features and benefits of Steam Jacketed Ball Valves

Key Features

This feature provides consistent temperature control by maintaining heat around the valve body, effectively preventing the solidification of viscous or temperature-sensitive media during operation.

Key Features

These valves are engineered for demanding applications, making them ideal for use in critical industries such as petrochemicals, pharmaceuticals, and food processing, where reliability and precision are crucial.

Key Features

By maintaining a stable temperature, these valves ensure smooth and uninterrupted fluid movement, preventing issues related to temperature fluctuations that could otherwise disrupt the flow of sensitive media.

Functions

Steam jacketed ball valves are specifically designed to handle fluids that require consistent temperature control, particularly in applications where the media tends to solidify or become highly viscous at lower temperatures. The primary function of these valves is to maintain the temperature of the fluid passing through by surrounding the valve body with a steam jacket. This jacket allows steam or another heating medium to circulate around the valve, ensuring that the fluid remains in a liquid state and flows smoothly. This is particularly important in industries like petrochemicals, food processing, and pharmaceuticals, where maintaining the integrity of the media is crucial to the process.
