Electric ball valves are becoming an essential part of modern industrial processes due to their precision, reliability, and ease of automation. These valves are primarily used for controlling the flow of liquids, gases, and other substances in a variety of industries, including water treatment, oil and gas, HVAC, and manufacturing. By integrating electric actuators with ball valves, these devices provide an efficient, automated solution for regulating flow, pressure, and temperature in pipelines and systems. In this article, we will explore what electric ball valves are, how they work, their advantages, and their applications across different industries.

    What is an Electric Ball Valve?

    An electric ball valve is a type of valve that utilizes an electric actuator to operate the valve’s ball mechanism. A ball valve itself consists of a spherical ball with a hole through the center. When the valve is in the open position, the hole aligns with the pipeline, allowing fluid to flow through. When the valve is closed, the ball rotates 90 degrees, blocking the flow of fluid.
