Excess Flow Valves are an additional feature to be used in combination with bursting discs to protect a refrigeration system from overpressure.
The use of excess flow valves is recommended in accordance with fact sheet AD2000 A1 and ASME Boiler & Pressure Vessel Code VIII Div.1 (paragraphs UG 125 through UG 137) when bursting discs or relief valves are being used in series or in combination. Excess flow valves keep the space between safety valve and bursting disc pressureless in case smaller leaks occur. They prevent the build-up of counter pressure. They work with a ball that gets pushed into its seat, if an overpressure occurs, e. g. when the bursting disc opens, thus preventing ventilation and enabling the safety valves to perform as intended. Furthermore pressure manometers and controllers can be connected

What if your favorite chocolate didn’t require cocoa beans and your coffee was locally produced? As climate disruption, price hikes and ethical concerns hit two of our most beloved indulgences, scientists are reimagining how we produce them – using microbes, not monocultures. The goal: preserve the flavor and properties of coffee and chocolate while minimizing carbon emissions and improving food resilience.
Ports now compete not just on logistics, but on sustainability. At Greece’s Piraeus port, an advanced processing and recovery facility recycles ship waste oil into fuel. Equipped with GEA’s high-performance centrifuges, it sets a new benchmark for state-of-the-art, environmentally responsible port operations.
The 2022 CO2 shortage forced breweries to review their dependency on global supply chains. Many were forced to close, unable to carbonate their products. At its breweries in Germany, OeTTINGER GETRÄNKE is turning its own CO2 into a powerful lever for independence and sustainability – with the help of CO2 recovery technology from GEA.
