Product Introduction

Q941Y-16C electric hard seal ball valve

Electric hard seal ball valve Q941Y-16C is used for automatic switching or process control in thermal systems, energy devices, chemical utilities, and industrial pipelines. The selection should check the medium, temperature, maximum and normal flow rates, pressure difference before and after the valve, pipeline standards and control requirements, and should not be based solely on the existing pipe diameter. This article lists the commonly used configuration range, and the final data should be based on project conditions, order confirmation forms, and manufacturing drawings.

Structure and Drive

Q941Y-16C adopts flange connection, floating ball structure, and metal valve seat. When the fluid passes through the valve body flow channel, the position of the opening and closing parts is changed by the angular stroke electric actuator to complete the opening and closing and cutting; If the project requires continuous adjustment, it should be confirmed separately whether the ball core flow channel, valve seat structure, and actuator are suitable for throttling conditions. The actuator should match the torque or thrust of the valve and reserve a reasonable safety factor. When feedback, positioning, or interlocking is required, the power supply, control signals, valve position feedback, on-site protection requirements, protection levels, and fault safety positions should be clearly defined during the ordering phase to avoid interface mismatch on site.

Material and sealing

The commonly used caliber is DN15-DN200, the pressure rating is PN16/PN25, and the valve body material can be selected as WCB/CF8/CF8M. The selection of materials should take into account the corrosiveness of the medium, chloride ions, temperature fluctuations, and cleaning conditions. The allowable temperature, pressure difference, and leakage level of metal hard seals should be checked simultaneously. For steam, particle containing, easily crystallized or frequently operated conditions, the hardness of valve internals, packing form and erosion prevention measures should also be confirmed.

Applicable working conditions

The product features include metal valve seats, temperature resistant configurations, and remote switches. After reasonable configuration, it can be used in thermal systems, energy devices, chemical utilities, and industrial pipelines. Dangerous areas should select corresponding actuators, accessories, and wiring methods according to explosion-proof zones; Food, pharmaceutical and other systems also need to confirm the requirements for liquid receiving materials, surface treatment and cleaning. Projects involving oxygen, highly corrosive or toxic media should undergo specialized material and safety reviews.

Installation and Debugging

Before installation, the nameplate, flow direction, and connection standards should be checked, and welding slag and hard debris should be removed to ensure the concentricity of the front and rear pipe sections and avoid the transmission of pipeline stress to the valve body. Maintenance space should be reserved around the actuator, and cable entrances should be waterproofed and protected according to the on-site environment; The first debugging should check the fully open and fully closed positions, valve position feedback, interlocking logic, and sealing condition.

Operation and maintenance

Observe action time, abnormal noise, leakage, valve position feedback, and control signals during operation. When the action is slow, first check the power supply, wiring, control module, valve position feedback, and electric actuator, and then check the valve stem, valve seat, and seals. It is not advisable to blindly increase the driving force. Before maintenance, it is necessary to isolate the medium, relieve pressure, and confirm that there is no residual energy. After replacing the seal, conduct strength, sealing, and action tests according to regulations, and record the material of the spare parts and the date of maintenance.

Q&A on the selection of electric hard seal ball valves

Does the Q941Y-16C pipeline contain a small amount of particles, and a hard seal necessarily apply?

It cannot be judged solely based on the name of the hard seal. Please provide particle size, hardness, content, flow rate, temperature, and pressure difference to confirm the material of the ball and valve seat, sealing pair, and driving force; It is also necessary to clarify the requirements for closing leaks and flushing conditions.

When replacing the old flange ball valve with Q941Y-16C, is it enough to only check DN and PN?

It is also necessary to verify the flange standard, sealing surface, structural length, valve body and seat materials, as well as the allowable pressure at operating temperature. The installation space and connection bracket of the actuator should also be confirmed together with the site.

Will Q941Y-16C automatically shut down after a power outage?

The power-off action cannot be determined solely by the name of the electric drive. Ordinary electric actuator cannot default to having automatic valve closing function when power is lost; If the process requires fault closure, the energy storage or other fault safety scheme of the actuator should be confirmed at the time of ordering, and the entire valve interlock verification should be completed.

Selection and ordering information

Suggest providing the composition of the medium, design and operating temperature, maximum and normal pressure, flow range, pipeline standards, operating frequency, power supply, control signals, valve position feedback and requirements for electric actuators, fail safe location, and environmental protection requirements. Fouten Flow Control (Jiangsu) Co., Ltd. will verify the caliber, material, seal, actuator, and accessory combination based on this, providing traceable basis for installation and maintenance.
