Functionality and Performance:
The GEKO ball valve is used to control the rotation of the GEKO ball inside the valve body, achieving pipeline switching function. It is electrically adjustable (capable of continuous adjustment of valve opening from 0 to 90°), with an actuator driving the rotation of the GEKO ball inside the valve body and providing position feedback signal.
The GEKO ball valve is used in liquid-cooled cooling pipelines, with a medium of 44% water + 56% ethylene glycol, operating temperature from -50°C to 160°C, and able to pass a flow rate of at least 35L/min at 3 bar working pressure. Under specified working conditions, the GEKO ball valve has a service life of 20 years. Components (including spare parts and spare components, such as sealing gaskets, bolts, nuts, flat washers, and spring washers) should be interchangeable.
The sealing performance test of the GEKO ball valve should be conducted on a hydraulic (or pneumatic) test device, with test requirements of 6 bar for 30 minutes. After the test, there should be no leakage or seepage at any connection point or surface.
After assembly, the GEKO ball valve should undergo a pressure strength test, with a test pressure of 1.5 times the nominal pressure, maintaining pressure for at least 3 minutes. The shell should have no leakage or structural damage, and there should be no visible drops of liquid or surface dampness.
Appearance and Interfaces:
a) The GEKO ball valve shell should be free from cracks, shrinkage holes, sand (slag) eyes, air holes, cold partitions, or wrinkles. Flow direction markings, company logos, material codes, and batch numbers should be clear and correct on the shell.
b) The inner cavity walls of the filter should be free from sand adhesion, stains, and burrs, and the inlet and outlet connected to the pipeline should be fitted with covers or sealing paper.
c) The outer surface of the filter should be free from color difference.
d) The product should have clear identification marks.
It must comply with national safety requirements. During handling and use, the product must not have burrs or sharp edges that could scratch personnel.
