What is special about Y-type ball valve?
On this page
The Y-shaped ball valve is a uniquely designed ball valve, and its structure and function have shown significant advantages in various industrial applications.
The valve body of the Y-shaped ball valve is designed in a Y-shape. This structural design makes the path of fluid through the valve smoother, reduces fluid resistance, and improves flow efficiency. This design is particularly suitable for systems that require low flow resistance and high flow rate.
The optimized design of the internal flow channel of the Y-shaped ball valve reduces turbulence and pressure loss in fluid flow, thereby improving the efficiency of fluid flow. This makes it particularly effective in handling fluids with high viscosity and particles.
The Y-shaped ball valve uses high-quality sealing materials to ensure close contact between the ball and the valve seat, providing excellent sealing performance and preventing leakage.
The working principle of Y-shaped ball valve is similar to that of traditional ball valve, which mainly controls the flow of fluid by rotating the ball. The specific process is as follows:

Design Features
Unique Y-shaped structure
The valve body of the Y-shaped ball valve is designed in a Y-shape. This structural design makes the path of fluid through the valve smoother, reduces fluid resistance, and improves flow efficiency. This design is particularly suitable for systems that require low flow resistance and high flow rate.
1. Optimization of Flow Channel Design
The optimized design of the internal flow channel of the Y-shaped ball valve reduces turbulence and pressure loss in fluid flow, thereby improving the efficiency of fluid flow. This makes it particularly effective in handling fluids with high viscosity and particles.
2. Efficient Sealing Performance
The Y-shaped ball valve uses high-quality sealing materials to ensure close contact between the ball and the valve seat, providing excellent sealing performance and preventing leakage.
Operating Principle
The working principle of Y-shaped ball valve is similar to that of traditional ball valve, which mainly controls the flow of fluid by rotating the ball. The specific process is as follows:
1. Open the valve
By rotating the handle or operating the actuator, the ball rotates 90 degrees to align the valve channel with the pipeline channel, allowing fluid to flow smoothly. Due to the Y-shaped structural design, the resistance of fluid passing through the valve is small and the flow is more stable.2. Close the valve
Reverse the rotation of the handle or operating actuator, and rotate the ball another 90 degrees to make the valve channel perpendicular to the pipe channel, blocking fluid flow and achieving the cutoff function. The seal between the valve seat and the ball ensures no leakage.Advantages
1. Low flow resistance design
The unique design of the Y-shaped ball valve significantly reduces the resistance of fluid passing through the valve, thereby reducing energy consumption and improving system efficiency.2. High flow capacity
The structural design of the Y-shaped ball valve enables it to handle high-flow and high-speed fluids, making it suitable for applications that require large flow control.3. Good sealing performance
