Normal electric ball valves are divided into two types: explosion-proof and non-explosion-proof. They are used in various fields, and with their widespread use, people are looking for ways to improve their efficiency and reduce costs. Today, the editor has compiled several such methods for you. 1. Inspection before use: It is undoubtedly necessary to check whether there are any debris or iron shavings inside the valve before using it. 2. Medium scouring method: The scouring capability of the medium itself can be utilized to wash away substances that tend to precipitate or cause blockages, thereby enhancing the valve’s resistance to blockages. 3. External flushing method: For media that tend to precipitate and contain solid particles, when ordinary electric ball valves are used for regulation, blockages at the throttling ports and guide areas often occur; in such cases, flushing gas and steam can be supplied at the bottom plug of the lower valve cover. When the valve becomes clogged or stuck, opening the external gas or steam valve allows for flushing to be carried out without moving the electric ball valve, thereby restoring its normal operation. 4. Cleaning method: Solder slag, rust, debris, etc. in the pipelines can easily cause blockages in the pipeline passages at the throttle points and guide sections; this is the most common type of fault. In such cases, it is necessary to remove the component for cleaning in order to get rid of debris; if the sealing surface is damaged, it should also be ground ； At the same time, the bottom plug should be opened to facilitate the flushing out of debris that has fallen from the balance hole into the lower valve cover, as well as to clean the pipelines. Before commissioning, the electric ball valve should be fully opened, and normal operation should only be initiated after the medium has been flowing for a while. The above four methods are the most fundamental ways to extend the service life of electric ball valves; I hope they will be helpful to everyone.
