Ball Valve with heating jacket - FX2 | ADLER

Adler FX2 Spherical Ball Valve with Heating Jacket

The Adler FX2 is a wafer type, split body, full bore ball valve with integrated heating jacket. This series is based on the FA2 design and is specified for heated process lines where the medium must not solidify within the ball cavity or seats. Typical applications include resins, waxes, bitumen, oils, polymers, and crystallizing chemicals.

Heating Jacket

The heating jacket enables circulation of a thermal medium around the valve body. FX2 selection should consider product freezing point, viscosity, residence time, pipe insulation, and heating circuit pressure. Maximum jacket operating pressure is 10 bar.

Standards and Certifications

Manufacture in accordance with BS EN 12516-2, ANSI B16.34, ISO 14313. Available with PED 2014/68/EU, ATEX 2014/34/EU, fire-safe BS6755/API 607, ISO 10497, ISO 15848, antistatic device, and SIL 3 capable for automated valves.

Automation

The ISO 5211 flange allows mounting of pneumatic or electric actuators, manual gearboxes, or positioners. For DN200, manual gearbox is recommended.

FAQ

When is FX2 selected over FX1?
When a split body design based on FA2, full bore, and heating jacket is required.

What should be checked before specification?
DN, PN/Class, body material, seat material, product temperature, jacket pressure, ATEX/fire-safe requirement, and actuator torque.
