CE valve: The efficient ring valve
The reliable and efficient ring valve Many of the processes that have significant importance for industrial plant operation can cause extreme stress on compressor valves, e.g. by the presence of particles, catalyst debris, liquids or polymerides. Particles carried along with the gas flow or polymers can lead to clogging of flow channels, valve leakage and premature wear. The reliability of the valves is thus crucial for the plant operators. In addition, especially in processes with heavy gases the efficiency of the valve is of very high importance in order to minimize the energy consumption of the compressor. The CE ring valve was specifically designed to combine reliability and efficiency for a wide range of process applications. With its optimised flow geometry it provides maximum efficiency. The use of carbon fibre reinforced ring material, specially designed robust springs guided by the unique “SpringSavers” ensure highest reliability in many industrial applications. Highest reliability by robust springs, designed for max. dynamic reliability, guided and protected by non-metallic “SpringSavers”
