WHAT IS A MOTORIZED BALL VALVE?

Ball valves use motors to rotate a ball with a hole in the center to control flow. When the hole is in line with the flow, the valve is fully open, and when it is turned perpendicular to the flow, it is closed. Most electric ball valves don’t require power to hold position like solenoid valves. Some electric actuated ball valves can be opened or closed manually.

Ball valves work well in situations that involve large volumes of flow. For example, airports use them for de-icing aircraft, greenhouse managers use them for watering greenhouses, and farmers use them for watering large farms. Buildings with fire suppression technology rely on ball valves for opening and closing the sprinkler heads.

Motorized ball valves allow liquid, gas, or air through electric controls. Some have several valves to manage large systems.  motorized control ball valve

PROS OF MOTORIZED BALL VALVES
Like their counterparts, motorized ball valves also have pros and cons.

One of the benefits is the valve’s ability to continue working at a high flow rate, despite a pressure drop. Since they don’t have a diaphragm they have a greater Cv value, or flow compared to the same size solenoid valve.

They are, like solenoid valves, another affordable valve type that is fairly easy to install. They are easily integrated into automation systems. The total operating cost of a motorized ball valve is also lower than solenoid valves because they don’t require continuous power to hold position. This feature is also beneficial to users since the ball valve is not prone to burning out like solenoids.
