Jacketed Ball Valve

Jacketed Ball Valve Manufacturer: FlowBiz Exports

A FlowBiz Jacketed Ball Valve features an external heating or cooling chamber (the jacket) that surrounds the valve body. By circulating steam, hot oil, or cooling fluids through this jacket, the valve maintains the process media at a precise temperature. This "high-performance insulation structure" is critical for keeping media like molten sulfur or bitumen in a liquid state.

The "Oversize Flange" Design

To provide adequate space for the heating jacket and ensure bolting clearance, FlowBiz utilizes modified body designs with oversize flanges.

  • Example: In a $2\text{ inch} \times 3\text{ inch}$ Jacketed Ball Valve, the nominal bore (internal flow path) is $2\text{ inches}$ ($50\text{mm}$), while the flange size is increased to $3\text{ inches}$ ($80\text{mm}$).

Key Features & Advantages

  • Prevents Solidification: Specifically designed for media that quickly solidifies at atmospheric temperatures, preventing valve seizing and pipeline blockages.
  • Full Flange-to-Flange Jacketing: FlowBiz offers "Fully Jacketed" versions where the jacket covers the body entirely from one flange face to the other, eliminating cold spots.
  • Superior Insulation: The high-efficiency jacket design ensures that internal heat is maintained, reducing energy consumption and process variability.
  • Versatile Material Selection: Available in Carbon Steel, Stainless Steel, and special alloys to handle both high-temperature heating and corrosive chemical media.
  • Custom Actuation: Can be equipped with manual levers, gearboxes, or automated pneumatic/electric actuators for remote temperature-controlled processes.
