ABSTRACT:
A ball valve with a venturi chamber internal thereto as an integral part of the ball itself. The ball valve of the present invention includes a housing with a ball valve rotatably mountable therewithin. The ball is rotatably about an axis about which any cross-section thereof has a uniform outline curve with two passages defined therewithin. The first passage has a uniform cross-sectional shape and area, and extends through the ball with the central axis of the first passage being substantially perpendicular to the rotational axis of the ball. The first passage is tapered varying over its length. The smaller end of the tapered passage extends toward the other side of the ball defining a tapering annular cavity extending into the ball from the other side. The second passage has uniform shape and area, and opens into the annular cavity. The central axis of the second passage is also substantially perpendicular to the rotational axis of the ball. In addition, the housing defines first and second ports for communicating with opposite ends of the first passage and a third port for communicating with the second passage or the opposite solid side of the ball with the ball rotated through 180 degrees. Additionally, the housing is configured so that the third port is disposed to communicate with the second passage when the first and second ports are in communication with the one and other ends of the first passage, respectively.
