Difference Between Motorized Ball Valve and Solenoid Valve
We are motorized ball valve manufacturer from China.
The key difference between motorized ball valves and many solenoid valves is :Most solenoid valves are energized continuously when in a new position, while motorized ball valves expend energy only when changing from open to close(or vice versa), then remains in its new position while expending almost no energy. Here list some detail difference in brief:motorized ball valve manufacturer from China
| motorized ball valve | solenoid valve | |
| Power consumption | expend energy only when changing from open to close(or vice versa), then remains in its new position while expending almost no energy | needs the coil electrifying all the time, the coil with long time electrifying will over heat, easy to cause the coil burning off, it’s the common failure. |
| Driving mode | driven by a electric actuator | use electromagnets to move a plunger attached to the valve to open or close it. |
| Flow rate | the fluid resistance is small, and its resistance coefficient is equal to that of the pipe section of the same length | less flow rate than ball valve |
| Lifespan | longer life than solenoid valves | shorter lifespan than motorized ball valve |
| Medium requirment | small fine soft particles accepted. | the medium must not contain impurities. |
| Installation direction | both horizontal and vertical installation are OK | only be installed horizontally, other installation may cause it leakage. |
| Medium direction | both directions are OK | single direction, follow the direction of the arrow |
| Open close time | CWX-15Q <3 seconds CWX-15N <5 seconds CWX-25S <7 seconds CWX-60P<8 seconds CTF-001<12 seconds | quick open/close,which is easy to cause water hammer and pipeline resonance |
