Safety devices for protecting refrigeration systems from excess pressure

RVD Constant Pressure Valves

GEA constant pressure valves are autonomously working regulating devices (constant pressure function) within the oil management systems of screw compressor packages, to ensure defined minimum differential pressure (e. g. 3 bar, 4 bar etc.) or oil injection pressure during the start-up phase and running of the screw compressor. The constant pressure valve is equipped with a back-pressure compensation sealing element. The valve is opened by the pressure of the operating medium below the valve disc and depends on the set opening pressure of the valve (spring-loaded). The set pressure is determined by the customer and is set by the manufacturer

The breakthrough that changed spray drying

In 1976, NIRO engineers responded to a competitive challenge by rethinking what spray drying could do. Their idea became the multi-stage dryer MSD. Fifty years later, the same fundamental principle helps turn liquids into the powders used in essential nutrition products and important medicines around the world. Refined through decades of engineering expertise, customer insight and continuous development, MSD is a story of innovation with lasting impact.

Beyond the machine: unlocking better plant performance

Beyond the machine: unlocking better plant performance

An efficient machine does not automatically make an efficient factory. Real improvement often starts by looking beyond individual equipment and understanding how processes, energy systems and operating decisions affect one another. It’s a holistic approach designed to uncover opportunities that might otherwise be missed.

How a valve reshapes the way food and drinks are made

How a valve reshapes the way food and drinks are made

In food and beverage plants, valves are commonly operated using compressed air. GEA Hydract® Actuation Technology moves valves with water instead, in a closed, digitally controlled circuit. The result is a valve that can be held exactly in place and steered in fine-tuned steps. This results in lower energy use and greater control.
