Eccentric Hemispherical Valve

Eccentric Hemispherical Valve

Structure and Principle

• The valve core is hemispherical, with its rotation center eccentric to the valve body center.

• When open: The hemisphere disengages from the valve seat, resulting in no friction and low torque.

• When closed: The hemisphere presses against the valve seat, forming a line/surface seal.

• Typical structures: Side-mounted/Top-mounted, eccentric shaft, eccentric hemisphere.

Product Description

Key Features

1. Excellent Sealing Performance: Hard seals achieve zero leakage, while soft seals provide even tighter sealing.

2. Wear-Free and Long Service Life: Opening and closing does not scrape the valve seat, making it more wear-resistant than ordinary ball valves.

3. Anti-Stuck and Self-Cleaning: The hemispherical rotation has a scraping effect, preventing mud, dust, and slurry from causing blockages.

4. Low Flow Resistance and Smooth Flow: The near-straight-through flow path reduces pressure drop, making it suitable for high flow rates.

5. Easy On/Off: The eccentric structure significantly reduces operating torque, suitable for both pneumatic and electric operation.

V-Type Ball Valve

V-Type Ball Valve

Structural Features

• V-shaped ball core: The hemispherical valve core has a V-shaped notch, which is the core component for regulation and shearing.

• Valve seat: It mates with the V-shaped notch to form a sealing surface. Soft seals (TFM, etc.) are suitable for clean media, while hard seals (welded or sprayed hard alloy) can be used in high-temperature, high-pressure, highly corrosive, or particulate-containing conditions.

Working Principle

• Regulation Function: As the valve core rotates, the overlap area between the V-shaped notch and the valve seat continuously changes, creating an equal percentage flow characteristic (opening degree and flow rate are logarithmically related), achieving high-precision control within the 30%-70% opening range.

• Shearing and Self-Cleaning: The V-shaped notch edge, in contact with the valve seat, cuts off fibers and small solid particles in the medium, preventing blockage; the relative movement between the valve core and valve seat during rotation scrapes away media residue on the sealing surface, achieving self-cleaning.
