FlowBiz Jacketed Ball Valves: Thermal Integrity Engineered
A Jacketed Ball Valve features an external "jacket" that encapsulates the valve body from flange to flange. This chamber allows for the circulation of heating media (like high-pressure steam or hot oil) or cooling media to keep the process fluid at its optimal viscosity.
Key Design Considerations: Oversized Flanges
To ensure proper bolting clearance and accommodate the external jacket, these valves utilize oversized flanges.
- Example: A valve with a 2" (DN 50) nominal bore will typically feature 3" (DN 80) flanges. This design allows the heating jacket to cover the maximum surface area of the body without interfering with the piping connection.
Strategic Advantages of FlowBiz Jacketed Valves
- Temperature Control: Maintains precise thermal levels for media like bitumen, liquid sulfur, resins, and chocolate.
- Freeze Protection: Prevents fluids from solidifying in cold climates or during process shutdowns, eliminating costly downtime.
- Process Integrity: Ensures that the flow remains consistent and non-turbulent by preventing the buildup of crystals on the ball and seats.
- Enhanced Safety: Reduces the risk of over-pressurization caused by blockages in the line due to media solidification.
- Maintenance & Repair: Our jacket designs are engineered for durability, reducing the need for frequent disassembly and ensuring a long service life.
Types of Jacketed Ball Valves
FlowBiz offers a versatile range of jacketed designs to suit specific piping layouts and maintenance requirements:
- Full Jacketed Ball Valve: The jacket covers the body from one flange face to the other for maximum heat transfer.
- Partial Jacketed Ball Valve: Used in applications where only the center section of the body requires heating.
- Split Body Jacketed Ball Valve: A 2-piece body design that facilitates easy internal maintenance.
- Top Entry Jacketed Ball Valve: Allows for seat and ball replacement without removing the valve from the jacketed pipeline.
- Welded Jacketed Ball Valve: Features a permanently welded jacket for high-pressure steam or oil service where leak-proof integrity is paramount.
