DAC Worldwide’s ACR Steel Ball Valve Cutaway (373-501) is a professionally crafted, sectioned example of a specialty ball valve used in air conditioning and refrigeration systems as a maintenance-related block valve. Often used to positively isolate air conditioning suction, discharge, and liquid lines during maintenance and repair activities, these dependable 1/4-turn valves are commonly encountered.
A full cutaway view of the spherical closure element and seat exposes the complete internal mechanism, including full-port ball, stem, and specialty seals, while retaining its operational characteristics. Cutaway surfaces are enhanced through painting, making the geometry of all components clearer. Multiple cutaways reveal all internal components, enhancing classroom training in HVAC system design, maintenance, troubleshooting, and preventive/predictive maintenance.
The full-size, fully-detailed example gives learners a first-hand view into a component that is found in various applications worldwide. This professionally crafted yet economical component sample will enhance HVAC training in both industrial and educational settings.
This ACR Steel Ball Valve Cutaway provides a full cutaway view of the compressor body that exposes the complete internal components and operating principles. Economically mounted on a formed-steel and powder-coated modular display panel, this sample panel can be mounted on a variety of optional benchtop display fixtures and storage structures.
The cutaway features carefully-planned cutaway areas that are individually mounted and can be removed from the baseplate for convenient classroom use. All of the cutaway’s components are also visible and have been retained, enhancing students’ visual learning. This carefully crafted teaching aid supports instructor-led training and independent student self-discovery in a variety of vocational and academic air conditioning and refrigeration programs.
The equipment used within the cutaway is cleaned, primed, and painted using a high-endurance urethane coating, providing durability to stand up to frequent use. In addition, all of the component parts are color-coded to enhance the learning process.
