Feature
-
1Trunnion DesignThe ball is fixed in place by a trunnion (a shaft or pin) at the top and bottom, which reduces the load on the valve seats and ensures stable operation.
-
2Low Operating TorqueThe trunnion design reduces the friction between the ball and the seats, requiring less force to operate the valve. This is especially beneficial in high-pressure applications.
-
3Double Block and Bleed (DBB) CapabilityTrunnion mounted ball valves can isolate both upstream and downstream sides of the valve simultaneously, allowing for the bleeding of pressure or fluid from the cavity between the seats.
-
4Sealing PerformanceThe design provides better sealing performance, as the seats are spring-loaded or activated by the line pressure to maintain a tight seal.
-
5Safety and ReliabilityThese valves are known for their high reliability and are often used in critical applications like oil and gas, petrochemical, and power industries.
-
6Size and Pressure HandlingSuitable for larger diameters and high-pressure conditions, trunnion mounted ball valves can handle a wide range of pressures and temperatures.
-
7Bi-Directional OperationThese valves can control the flow of fluid in both directions, providing flexibility in various piping configurations.
-
8Extended Service LifeThe reduced wear and tear on the seats due to the trunnion support leads to a longer service life and lower maintenance costs.
-
9Emergency Sealant Injection SystemMany trunnion mounted ball valves have an emergency sealant injection system that allows for sealing in case of seat damage.
-
10Fire-Safe DesignMany trunnion mounted ball valves are designed to be fire-safe, ensuring operation even under fire conditions to prevent leakage and maintain control.
These features make trunnion mounted ball valves a preferred choice for demanding applications where durability, reliability, and performance are critical.
