3-Way Ball Valves

Siemens Industry, Inc.

Description

The 599 Series 3-way Ball Valves are coupled with an OpenAir

™

actuator to provide

three-way mixing or diverting flow control. The ball valves are 1/4-turn rotary control

valves and are available in 1/2-inch to 2-inch line sizes.

Features

• ANSI 250 valve body rating.

• 200 psi close-off with ANSI Class IV leakage for all line sizes and actuators.

• Available with chrome-plated brass ball and brass stem or

316 stainless steel ball and stem.

• Can be used as either a mixing or a diverting valve.

• Blow-out proof stem withstands high pressure.

• Universal mounting plate.

• Actuator and plate can be rotated (90-degree increments).

• Standoffs provide a thermal barrier between the actuator and the mounting plate.

• Operating handle for manual operation.

• All ball valve actuators include integral conduit adapters.

99 Series 3-Way Ball Valves Operation Technical Instructions Document Number 155-201 May 28, 2020 The parabolic shape of the control port (A – AB) flow optimizer orifice (Figure 3) provides a slowly opening valve. Equal movements of the valve stem, at any point of the flow range, change the existing flow an equal percentage regardless of the existing flow. The ball valve equal percentage flow characteristic (Figure 4) mirrors the flow characteristic of a coil, resulting in linear heat transfer.
