An electric ball valve is a crucial component in modern industrial systems, widely utilized for controlling the flow of liquids and gases. It combines the mechanical precision of a ball valve with the advanced capabilities of electric actuators, allowing for automated operation in various applications, such as water treatment, HVAC systems, oil & gas, and manufacturing industries. The evolution of electric ball valves has been significantly shaped by innovative companies like CNHELI, a recognized leader in the development and production of cutting-edge valve solutions.

    What is an Electric Ball Valve?

    An electric ball valve consists of a ball with a hole through the middle that rotates to control the flow of fluid. When the valve is open, the hole is aligned with the pipe, allowing fluid to pass through. When closed, the ball rotates 90 degrees, sealing off the flow. The main difference between an electric ball valve and a manual one is the actuator: an electric motor, which drives the rotation of the valve, is used for automated operation. This allows for precise and remote control, which can be integrated into smart systems.
