Understanding Marine Electric Ball Valves
Marine electric ball valves are devices that control the flow of liquids and gases within a vessel's piping systems. Unlike traditional valves, which often rely on manual operation or pneumatic systems, electric ball valves utilize an electric actuator to open and close the valve. This technology not only enhances efficiency but also allows for remote operation and integration into automated systems. The design typically includes a spherical disc (the ball) with a hole through its center, allowing for a straight-line flow when open and blocking the flow when closed.
