Rotary Globe Control Valve Advantages


Eccentric Rotary V-Ball Control Valves feature:

  • Maintenance Free unlike Pressure Compensated Control Valves which Often Have Problems with Sliders Hanging Up due to Corrosion, Wear and Particle Buildup.
  • High Rangeability with 300:1 turndown ratio (compare to 100:1 Vball, 35:1 Globe Valve: and 10:1 Butterfly Valve, Typical) 
  • Energy Saving Control of steam, hot water, chilled water and glycol mix for commercial building control systems and many industrial process control systems. 
  • Cost Savings: e.g. You can use a 1-1/2" vnotch ball valve instead of a 3" traditional globe valve as the cv is much greater in this valve. 
  • The flow charactoristic is equal percentage. 
  • Higher shutoff pressure than other valve types. 
  • Control Load Swings and Seasonal Fluctuations with dual valve configuration for 1/3, 2/3 control. 
  • Class 6 Bubble Tight Shutoff.
  • Damper Actuators can be used because of low operating torque up to 6".
  • Ball Cams into Seat reducing seat wear and gives longer operating life.
  • NPT, Wafer and Flanged Connections
  • Carbon Steel or Stainless Steel Body
