연합인증

연합인증 가입 기관의 연구자들은 소속기관의 인증정보(ID와 암호)를 이용해 다른 대학, 연구기관, 서비스 공급자의 다양한 온라인 자원과 연구 데이터를 이용할 수 있습니다.

이는 여행자가 자국에서 발행 받은 여권으로 세계 각국을 자유롭게 여행할 수 있는 것과 같습니다.

연합인증으로 이용이 가능한 서비스는 NTIS, DataON, Edison 등이 있습니다.

한번의 인증절차만으로 연합인증 가입 서비스에 추가 로그인 없이 이용이 가능합니다.

다만, 연합인증을 위해서는 최초 1회만 인증 절차가 필요합니다. (회원이 아닐 경우 회원 가입이 필요합니다.)

연합인증 절차는 다음과 같습니다.

최초이용시에는
ScienceON에 로그인 → 연합인증 서비스 접속 → 로그인 (본인 확인 또는 회원가입) → 서비스 이용

그 이후에는
ScienceON 로그인 → 연합인증 서비스 접속 → 서비스 이용

연합인증을 활용하시면 KISTI가 제공하는 다양한 서비스를 편리하게 이용하실 수 있습니다.

초록

A ball valve including a valve body having a valve chamber, a ball member positioned in the valve chamber and defining first and second internal passages in fluid communication, and first and second seat rings, the first seat ring allowing fluid to flow past and through the second passage when the ball valve is in a life-sustaining flow operating position.

1. A ball valve, comprising: a valve body defining a valve chamber and a flow path between a valve inlet and a valve outlet;a ball member positioned in the valve chamber and defining first and second internal passages in fluid communication, the first passage defined through the thickness of the ball member and the second passage extending between a sidewall of the first passage and a surface of the ball member; andfirst and second seat rings positioned axially in the valve chamber on opposite sides of the ball member, the first seat ring permitting fluid flow between the first seat ring and the ball member and the second seat ring for fluid-sealing engagement with the ball member;wherein the ball member is selectively rotatable between a first operating position in which no fluid flow occurs through the flow path, a second operating position in which fluid flow occurs through the first passage, and a third operating position in which fluid flow occurs through the second passage. 2. The ball valve of claim 1, wherein the second passage is axially perpendicular to the first passage and has a length less than one-half a length of the first passage. 3. The ball valve of claim 1, wherein the first seat ring defines a gap between a portion of the first seat ring and the ball member that allows fluid to leak therethrough. 4. The ball valve of claim 1, wherein the first seat ring defines pairs of diametrically opposed gaps between the first seat ring and the ball member for fluid flow therethrough, the pairs of diametrically opposed gaps positioned between pairs of diametrically opposed fluid-sealing ball member engagement portions of the first seat ring. 5. The ball valve of claim 1, wherein the first seat ring defines a plurality of gaps radially-arranged around a major face of the first seat ring and positioned between a plurality of radially-arranged fluid-sealing engagement portions engaging the ball member. 6. The ball valve of claim 1, wherein the first seat ring comprises a central opening and a radially inward-extending chamfer extending around a major face of the first seat ring. 7. The ball valve of claim 1, wherein a maximum outer diameter of the second passage is substantially less than a maximum outer diameter of the first passage. 8. The ball valve of claim 1, wherein the second passage has a fluid flow capacity of 0.1% to 5% of a rated full flow capacity of the ball valve. 9. The ball valve of claim 1, wherein the second passage is axially aligned with the valve body and opens in a direction of the valve inlet when the ball member is in the first operating position, is arranged axially perpendicular to the valve body when the ball member is in the second operating position, and is axially aligned with the valve body and opens in a direction of the valve outlet when the ball member is in the third operating position. 10. A ball valve, comprising: a valve body having an internal valve chamber and defining a flow path therethrough;a ball member rotatably positioned in the valve chamber and defining first and second internal passages in fluid communication; andfirst and second seat rings positioned axially in the valve body and engaging opposite sides of the ball member, the first seat ring permitting fluid flow between the first seat ring and the ball member and the second seat ring for fluid-sealing engagement with the ball member;wherein the ball member is rotatable between a first operating position in which no fluid flow occurs through the valve body, a second operating position in which fluid flow occurs through the first passage but not the second passage, and a third operating position in which fluid flow occurs through the second passage. 11. The ball valve of claim 10, wherein the first seat ring defines a gap between the first seat ring and the ball member for fluid flow therethrough, the gap positioned between fluid-sealing ball member engagement portions of the first seat ring. 12. The ball valve of claim 10, wherein the first seat ring defines pairs of diametrically opposed gaps between the first seat ring and the ball member for fluid flow therethrough, the pairs of diametrically opposed gaps positioned between pairs of diametrically opposed fluid-sealing ball member engagement portions of the first seat ring. 13. The ball valve of claim 10, wherein the first seat ring defines a plurality of gaps radially-arranged around a major face of the first seat ring and positioned between a plurality of radially-arranged fluid-sealing engagement portions engaging the ball member. 14. The ball valve of claim 10, wherein the first seat ring comprises a central opening and a radially inward-extending chamfer extending around a major face. 15. The ball valve of claim 10, wherein a maximum outer diameter of the second passage is substantially less than a maximum outer diameter of the first passage. 16. The ball valve of claim 10, wherein the second passage has a fluid flow capacity of 0.1% to 5% of a rated full flow capacity of the ball valve. 17. The ball valve of claim 10, wherein the second passage is axially aligned with the valve body and opens in a direction of a valve inlet when the ball member is in the first operating position, is arranged axially perpendicular to the valve body when the ball member is in the second operating position, and is axially aligned with the valve body and opens in a direction of a valve outlet when the ball member is in the third operating position. 18. A ball valve including an operating position in which the ball valve is closed yet maintains life-sustaining fluid flow through the ball valve at all times, the ball valve comprising: a valve body defining a valve chamber;a ball member rotatably positioned in the valve chamber, the ball member having first and second internal passages in fluid communication, the first internal passage extending through the thickness of the ball member and the second internal passage arranged perpendicular to the first internal passage and extending from the first internal passage to the surface of the ball member, the second internal passage having a maximum outer diameter substantially less than a maximum out diameter of the first internal passage; andfirst and second seat rings positioned axially in the valve chamber on opposite sides of the ball member, the first seat ring permitting fluid flow between the first seat ring and the ball member and the second seat ring for fluid-sealing engagement with the ball member;wherein when the ball member is in the operating position in which the ball valve is closed yet maintains life-sustaining fluid flow therethrough, the second passage is generally oriented in a direction of a valve outlet such that fluid flows past the first seat ring, into the first internal passage, and through the second internal passage. 19. The ball valve of claim 18, wherein the first seat ring defines a gap between the first seat ring and the ball member for fluid flow therethrough, the gap positioned between fluid-sealing ball member engagement portions of the first seat ring. 20. The ball valve of claim 18, wherein the second passage has a fluid flow capacity of 0.1% to 5% of a rated full flow capacity of the ball valve.
