integrity pressure vessel joints. The temperature depending on the material used.

So� Seat
With an addi�onal mechanical anchoring of the ball at
the bo�om, this kind of valves is suitable for large and
higher pressure valves. The ball is fixed, it does not
move with the pressure but the seat ring is not. It has
the capability to move. Then sealing can be produced
on both sides depending on proces requirements.
Trunnion ball valves have a complex structure and
excellent sealing performance. Trunnion ball valves are
designed efficiently to reduce opera�on torque and
increase sealing reliability.
CONTROL VALVES
Control valves can be used to modify the flow rate downstream for a certain
pressure drop across the valve, this means that they are used in uni-direc�onal
flow. However, bidirec�onal seat sealing capabili�es can be achieved. Control
surface can be placed on the ball or in seat ring depending on the requirements.
Different flow control characteris�cs can be achieved like linear, equal-percentage…
which express the rela�onship between valve posi�on/opening area and flow rate.
Ball valve are much more compact comparing to globe control valves, also for
same control capabili�es range ball valves generally are smaller in sizes. Ball
control valves usually require smaller actuators to operate them.

secondary seal.
SPECIAL SERVICE HTF
Heat Transfer Fluid. Thermoelectric solar technology consists in concentrate the
radia�on to heat the fluid and produce electricity. The condi�ons are very strict
and exigent because the valve is subjected to temperatures around 400ºC. The
HTF pipes carry the heat transfer oil between the parabolic mirrors, the steam
plant and the power genera�on circuits.
Nowadays, Spain is one of the world’s largest generators of electricity from solar
power plants, with a genera�ng capacity of 432MW. Spanish solar energy plants
u�lize parabolic trough technology combined with a thermal storage system
using molten salt ba�eries to maximize their power genera�ng capacity. For this
reason IBOR has design and develop specific ball valves for this service.

Cryogenic
Ibor valves are manufactured for cri�cal condi�ons
working at -196ºC in trunnion or floa�ng design. All
materials are NACE MR0175 latest edi�on and also
impact tested due to low temperature requirements.
There are different approaches to select a cryogenic
valve. While there are not guidelines choosing the
cryogenic valve, there is a trend to select ball valves
for their �ght shut-off capabili�es.
LIP SEAL
Design of lip seal will vary depending on the applica�on. The main func�ons of a
lip seal are to retain lubricants, remove contaminants and separate fluids.
Lipseal design made of thermoplas�c sealing with springs.
The lips and spring energizer are compressed when installed into the seal cavity. The
resilient spring responds with constant force, pushing out the sealing lips. The seal
expands when there are pressure in the system, increasing the sealing force beyond
that provided by the spring and jacket material.
Lip seal design guarantees a good �ghtness, low fric�on seal and a long-life. It is
a good alterna�ve where special O-rings are requiered to cover high percentatges
of amine or methanol, or where high and low temperatures are too stringent.
A specific design for valve is required to maintain the quality.

Trunnion Seat design
As line pressure increases, the seat reacts to the force of the pressure to form an effec�ve seal. There are
two different designs for the seats of trunnion valves.
Single Piston Effect
If the pressure inside the body cavity is greater than the bore pressure then the seat ring will balance both pressures
by loosing contact between seat and ball (Fig. le�). Otherwise the seat ring won't let the seat loose contact with the
ball (Fig. right).

Valve Concepts
An� Blow Out Design
The stem of all Ball Valves has a shoulder that
bears against a matching gap in the body or lover to
Fire Safe Design make it blowout proof. The higher the line pressure,
the be�er the sealing to atmosphere.
Ball Valves are engineered for fire safety and
successfully fire tested with a metal seal in case
the so� seals are destroyed by fire or other means.
This is to minimize both external and internal fluid
leakage during plant fires, also when sealing are
destroyed.
An�sta�c
Sta�c electricity builds up inside a valve when the
ball rubs against non-metallic seats. This is a fire
hazard, especially in flammable fluid pipelines.
Cavity Relief All Ball Valves have inbuilt an�sta�c mechanisms
Based on Single Piston Effect, this op�on allows to to provide electrical con�nuity.
relief trapped pressure from the body cavity to the line.
The difference between trunnion and floa�ng is
the design of the ball and seat.
A A
Valve DBB
This feature avoids leaking to the body cavity from
both sides of the valve at same �me.
The main difference about trunnion and floa�ng is
that in the last one is necessary two balls to achieve
this feature.
Valve DIB-I
B B
Based on Double Piston Effect, this op�on avoids
leaking to the body cavity from both sides of the valves
and also from the body cavity to any side of the valve.
It has the same seat design upstream and downstream.
Both seats closed and it isn't produced cavity relief.
Valve DIB-II
A B
It is a combina�on of Single Piston Effect for upstream
seat ring and Double Piston Effect for downstream seat ring.
This feature allows to relief the pressure trapped in body
cavity to upstream line and the downstream seat ring
helps to ensure no leaking to the downstream line.
However the valve is uni-direc�onal.

Sealing Injector
The func�on of S.I. is allowing
an emergency sealing in the

Jacket
One challenge is maintaining
the fluid produced in industrial
lines at a specific temperature
so that its proper�es can be
conserved during the process.
Oval Safety Handle
The oval handle is a lowprofile
opera�ng device that eliminates
“lever” ac�on and helps to
prevent unwanted opening
of the valve.
Deadman
There is a risk of leaving a ball
valve fully or par�ally open.
The deadman is a principle
which released the valve lever
automa�cally causing the clousure
of the valve.
