  Valves and flow equipment for the building materials industry

  Posted in: Markets

  Building materials plants use steam, water, thermal oil, compressed air, fuel, condensate and auxiliary fluid networks. Valves in these circuits are selected according to pressure, temperature, fluid type, operating frequency and the environmental conditions at the installation point. Cement, gypsum, lime, ceramics, brick, insulation material and precast element production lines require stable flow control in mixing, drying, heating, curing, cooling and cleaning processes. Correct valve...

  Valves and flow equipment for thermal oil systems

  Posted in: Markets

  Thermal oil systems are used in industrial processes where heat transfer is required at high temperatures with lower operating pressure compared with equivalent steam systems. Thermal oil circulates in a closed loop and supplies heat exchangers, reactors, presses, dryers, tanks, moulds and thermal process units. Valves in thermal oil networks are selected according to operating temperature, pressure, fluid viscosity, circulation rate, differential pressure and sealing requirements....

  Valves and flow equipment for hydrogen applications

  Posted in: Markets

  Hydrogen systems require valves and flow equipment with suitable tightness, material compatibility and operating capability for the pressure and temperature range of the installation. Due to its small molecular size, hydrogen can have an increased tendency to escape through connections, gaskets, packing and stem sealing points. Hydrogen production, compression, storage, distribution and utilisation units require flow control in main and auxiliary lines. Valve selection is based on operating...
