Pain Points and Proposal

1. Jam:

① Under high-temperature and high-pressure conditions, hard alloy is prone to metal galling and heat accumulation, causing scratches on the sealing surfaces of the ball and seat, resulting in valve jam.

② If working temperature is higher than 450℃, the trunnion ball valve is very easy to get seizure;

③ After high-temperature using, the torque increased sharply, causing jam.

2. External Leakage:

After thermal cycling or long-term use, the body seal gasket is prone to leakage.

1.Anti-biting alloy coating

2.Reasonable gap design through finite element simulation to prevent llocking.

3.High resilience metal triangular self-sealing gasket design at middle flange sealing.
