What are the common problems of rotary ceramic disc valves?

Our data is current as of October 2023.

One of the problems that are very common to rotary ceramic disc valves is, the rotary valve will not open or close. This can be very valves annoying and can affect the systems where they are applied. There are multiple reasons this can occur.” In some cases, gate valve components of the valve can wear down from consistent use, which makes it difficult for the valve to open and close. In other cases, the valve body — the valve's main part — may have suffered a malfunction. There could also be issues with the valve actuator, which is the linear actuator device that helps the valve open and close. At Xiyena, we recommend inspecting the valve parts for any signs of damage to help resolve this issue. Replace any worn-out parts if you discover any, and so forth. Another good step is to check the actuator itself to ensure that it is functioning as it should.

Leaking is another common problem that can happen with these valves. Usually leaks occur due to a number of reasons and they are a serious problem because they cause fluid loss and can also damage the rest of the system. The valve body and the disc can not be damaged, otherwise, leaks may occur. The seals, which are the components that prevent the fluid from leaking out, can eventually wear out and fail. Improper valve installation could be another reason leaks to occur. Xiyena lays out what you should check for all of the valve parts to ensure that there are no leaks. Any worn seals you find should be replaced. In addition, proper installation of the valve according to the manufacturer’s guidelines is also critical to preventing leaks in future.

Identify and resolve issues with ceramic disc valves

One of the most important factors that can affect the performance of rotary ceramic disc valves are the problems that may occur during operation of the valves. With time, some of the most common problems that occur with valves include rust, erosion, and the buildup of dirt or other materials inside the valve. Over time, these problems can erode the components of the valve and diminish their utility. According to
