Regulating valves, Type HRAR, HRAB, HRAR/HRAB with Electric Actuator
Regulating Valves
GEA regulating valves (HRAR, HRAB, HRAR/HRAB with Electric Actuator) are designed for installation in industrial heating and refrigeration systems. Actuation is by hand wheel or ratched. These valves are both regulating and shut-off valves. Rotating the stem clockwise will lower the valve disc onto the valve seat and therefore close the pipe, counter-clockwise rotation will lift the valve disc and open the pipe. The regulating function is enabled by a cone on the underside of the valve disc. The maximum diameter of the cone corresponds to the valve’s nominal diameter. The stem sealing is provided by a threaded bush with spring-elastic PTFE ring (HRAR). The stem sealing is provided by a threaded bush and a metal bellows which ensures a complete hermetic sealing (HRAB). The valves are equipped with a back seal. When the valve is fully opened it is possible to replace the threaded bush and the seal.

GEA Insights
Around the world in seven questions: New foods we’ll love
Last year was not a year of hyped-up headlines for alternative proteins. Perhaps that is precisely why it was an important year for food biotech, the biotechnology behind everyday foods and ingredients. While the sector worked through a difficult funding environment, approvals were still granted, pilot lines set up and new platforms tested in the background. In short: headlines are turning into infrastructure. Frederieke Reiners heads GEA’s New Food business. She and her team work at the intersection of biotechnology and industrial food production. In this interview, she takes us on a world tour of food biotech in seven questions.
