What are the types of vacuum valves? Four key points for valve selection

In modern industry and research, Vacuum valveIt is an important device for regulating gas flow and controlling the vacuum system's pumping and exhaust. There are many types of vacuum valves, each with different characteristics and uses, and adapted to different operating conditions. This article will introduce common types of vacuum valves, as well as the four key points to consider when selecting vacuum valves, to help you make the best choice based on your actual needs.

Vacuum valve types introduction

There are many types of vacuum valves. The following are common types of vacuum valves:

Gate valve advantages

The gate valve can be opened or closed by raising or lowering the gate to controlgasSuitable for applications requiring fully open or fully closed flow.

advantage:

• Fully open or closed:Gate valves are usually used for fully open or fully closed operation and can provide good flow control
• Low resistance:The gate valve is a straight-through valve. When it is opened, the medium flow resistance in the valve body channel is almost 0. When the flow resistance is low, the opening and closing of the gate valve will be quite labor-saving.
• Wide applicability:The valve body of the gate valve usually has a thicker wall thickness and can withstand higher pressure. It is suitable for precise process control of connecting or cutting off the flow of the pipeline.

shortcoming:

• Slow opening and closing:The opening and closing speed of the valve is related to the size of the valve diameter. The larger the valve diameter, the slower it is, and the smaller the valve diameter, the slower it is. Generally, gate valves start at 4 inches, while right-angle valves start at 1 inch, so the opening and closing speed of gate valves is usually delayed compared to other types of valves.
• Sealing performance is affected by:The sealing performance of gate valves is susceptible to erosion or wear, requiring regular maintenance and replacement of seals.

Angle valve advantages

Angle valve generally has an inlet and an outlet. The appearance of the angle valve can be divided into right-angle valve, straight valve (Y-type), and Z-type valve according to different designs and requirements. When the valve is open, the gas can flow freely through the valve, and when the valve is in the closed state, the valve seat will be in close contact with the valve to prevent the gas from passing.

advantage:

• High durability:Angle valves are usually made of corrosion-resistant materials and can be used for a long time in harsh operating environments.
• Easy installation:The right-angle design can be installed at various angles and is suitable for vacuum systems with complex pipelines.
• Easy maintenance:The angle valve has a simple structure and is easy to disassemble and clean, making it convenient for daily maintenance or repair.

Ball valve advantages/strong>

A ball valve is a valve that uses a rotating ball to control the flow of gas.

advantage:

• Quick switch:The ball valve can be opened or closed quickly to cut off the gas quickly.
• Good sealing performance:The ball valve can effectively prevent gas leakage and has good sealing performance.
• High durability:The ball valve has a simple structure, which can reduce the failure rate and effectively extend the service life.

How to choose a vacuum valve?

When choosing a vacuum valve,Many factors need to be considered comprehensively. The following are important evaluation criteria:

Functional

When selecting a valve, you need to consider functionality, such as isolation function, diversion function, flow control function, pressure control function, etc. Each type of valve has different performance and uses, so you need to select the type of valve based on actual needs.

How it works

Different operating methods are suitable for different environments. The operating methods of vacuum valves include manual, pneumatic, and electric. Manual vacuum valves are suitable for simple applications that are easy for personnel to operate manually. Pneumatic vacuum valves are suitable for applications that require fast and frequent operations. Electric valves are suitable for systems that require automation.

Ambient temperature

The ambient temperature will affect the service life and performance of the vacuum valve. In a high temperature environment, the aging rate of the material will accelerate, while in a low temperature environment, the material may become brittle and easily break. For special ambient temperature requirements, a vacuum valve with an adaptive design should be selected.

Seal Strength

The sealing strength of each valve is different. Excellent sealing performance is related to the sealing form and material. The better the sealing performance of the valve, the more effectively it can prevent air leakage and ensure the reliability and safety of operation.
