Trunnion Mounted Ball Valve is a type of valve that uses a rotating ball as its core control element, enabling the opening and closing of media flow through the engagement or disengagement of the ball and valve seats. The term “trunnion” refers to the support shafts on both sides of the ball, a design that provides unique advantages in high-pressure, large-diameter, and complex operating conditions, making it a critical component in industrial fluid control.
Application Scenarios:
- Oil & Gas Industry: Used in oil pipelines, refining units, and natural gas processing systems to withstand high pressure and corrosive media.
- Power Industry: Ensures reliable control of high-temperature, high-pressure fluids in boiler feedwater, steam pipelines, and cooling water systems.
- Chemical Industry: Handles corrosive media such as acids, alkalis, and solvents, requiring chemical resistance and sealing stability.
- Water Treatment: Controls water flow and chemical dosing, with hygienic designs meeting the needs of the food and beverage industry.
- Cryogenic Engineering: Suitable for cryogenic media like liquefied natural gas (LNG) by using low-temperature materials (e.g., LCB steel) and specialized seals (e.g., low-temperature nitrile rubber O-rings).
