4 Way Electric Actuator Ball Valves

Sensoware® 4-Way Electric Actuator Ball Valves are typically multi-port ball valves with 4 ports operated by an Electric Motorized Actuator. They control the flow of liquid by either acting as a diverter or in Mixing applications. 4-way Stainless steel ball valves in SS304 and SS316 are available in this configuration. They can be used for medium and high-pressure applications.

Basic Functions

In simple comparison, a Motorized 4-way Ball Valve has two more ports than a 2-way valve. A two-way valve allows fluid to enter the valve from one port and exit through the other. Having a four-port valve allows fluid to alternate paths of travel, either when exiting or entering the valve. This permits fluid to either exit the valve from more than one point or enter the valve from more than one point.

Diverting

It is basically used to divert 1 input fluid to 3 lines as and when required. From A to B or C or D. This means at any point of time the input is connected to any one of the output ports.

Mixing

It is basically used to mix two fluids from 2 pipes into 2 pipe. They can be proportionally controlled using modulating types of valves to accurately mix the 2 components into 2 output.

Frequently Asked Questions

A Motorized 4-way control valve stops water flow in one pipe while allowing it to flow in another automatically. The valve can also combine water from two distinct pipes into one pipe or redirect water from one pipe into two different pipes in a modulating or three-point floating application.

A 4-way valve is an industrial valve with a steady flow rate for diversion or application mixture. It’s also known as a multiport valve because of its three openings, which can be connected to tubing for the flow of liquid or gas.
