Product catalog summary
Overview
The Consolidated Series 3500 Electromatic Ball Valve (EBV) by GE Oil & Gas is engineered for automatic or manual over-pressure protection in steam boiler systems. It operates at lower pressures than spring-loaded safety valves, enhancing boiler efficiency and reducing maintenance.

Key Features and Benefits
  • Advanced ball and seat coating for durability.
  • Robust stem design for extreme environments.
  • Omnidirectional assembly capability.

Ensuring Safe Performance
The EBV ensures safety by matching seat bore diameter to capacity requirements and assists in startup and shutdown venting.

Providing Rugged Precision
The guided yoke design supports the actuator, reducing wear and ensuring precise operation.

Specifications
  • Inlet Sizes: 1.5” to 2.5” with flanged or weld neck design.
  • Inlet Ratings: ANSI Class 1500 to 4500.
  • Outlet Sizes: 3” and 4”.
  • Outlet Ratings: ANSI Class 300 and 900.
  • Temperature Range: Up to 1150°F (621.1°C).
  • Materials: Alloy steel body with Inconel alloy seat and ball.
  • Certification: ASME B and PVC Section I ‘V’ code Stamp.

Design Features
  • Gland, Stop Ring, and Packing: Utilizes expanded graphite for low-maintenance operation.
  • Stem and Bearing Washer: Chrome carbide coating for wear resistance.
  • Stem Retaining Nut: Prevents blowout and improves alignment.
  • Ball, Seat, and Seat Loader Assembly: Coated with Colmonoy for abrasion resistance.
  • Seat and Body Joint Seal: Easy replacement with expanded graphite seal.

Ledeen Actuator
The EBV uses a scotch yoke actuator with a rugged frame and low-friction bushings for efficient torque transfer and extended service life.

Control Package
Features an explosion-proof positioner monitor with solenoid valves for remote operation. Optional switches can integrate with a distributive control system (DCS).

System Components
  • Electromatic Ball Valve (Type 3500): Automatic pressure relief and venting valve with quick actuation.
  • Controller (Type 3539): Dual-control pressure switch with relay for valve actuation.
  • Control Station (Type 2537): Offers automatic and manual control with visual indicators.
  • Isolation Valve: Ensures capacity is not restricted during isolation.

Consolidated Type 3500 Electromatic* Ball Valve-1

Consolidated* 3500 Series Electromatic* Ball Valve fact sheet 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: • Technologically advanced ball and seat coating for increased life expectancy • Superior stem design that provides structural integrity in extreme environments • Versatile design allows for omnidirectional assembly Specifications INLET SIZES 1.5” (38.1 mm), 2” (50.8 mm) and 2.5” (63.5 mm) in either flanged or weld neck design. INLET RATINGS ANSI Class 1500 thru 4500. OUTLET SIZES OUTLET RATINGS BORE SIZES .875” (22.23 mm) through 2.000” (50.8 mm). ­ educed bores are R available. TEMP. RANGE Alloy steel body with Inconel alloy seat and ball. 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.

Consolidated Type 3500 Electromatic* Ball Valve-3

fact sheet LEDEEN* Actuator Ledeen Actuator The Consolidated 3500 EBV employs a high quality scotch yoke actuator offering several design features not typically found on pneumatic actuators installed in power stations. All of the Ledeen actuators’ innovative design features help ensure a long service life. Providing the foundation of the Ledeen actuator, the rugged frame is well suited for developing and transferring torque to the valve. The non-pressurized, weatherproof frame ensures that the rotary seals on the output shaft will not contribute to a pressure leak that would require unexpected...
