Ensuring Safe Performance

Overview
The Consolidated Series 3500 Electromatic Ball Valve (EBV)
from GE Oil & Gas is designed to provide automatic or manual
over-pressure protection for your steam boiler system. It also
can be used to assist startup and shutdown venting.
Set to operate at a lower pressure than spring-loaded safety
valves, the Consolidated Series 3500 EBV helps reduce safety
valve maintenance and increases steam boiler efficiency.
Key features and benefits of the 3500 EBV include:
•t Technologically advanced ball and seat coating for increased
life expectancy
•t Superior stem design that provides structural integrity in
extreme environments

•t Versatile design allows for omnidirectional assembly

CERTIFICATIONt

ASME B and PVC Section I ‘V’
code Stamp on once through
boilers and Non-code Section.

The 3500 EBV helps ensure safe performance by matching the
seat bore diameter to the optimum capacity requirement. In
situations where open/close actuation is acceptable, the EBV can
also be used to assist with startup and shutdown venting

Providing Rugged Precision
The guided yoke design of the 3500 EBV offers rugged construction and ensures positive and precise guiding of the actuator,
stem and ball. The weight of the actuator is fully supported by
the yoke, and the removal of side loading on the stem eliminates
excessive wear of the packing stem and actuator.
