Safety devices for protecting refrigeration systems from excess pressure

RVR Constant Pressure Valves

The constant pressure valve with check valve function (RVR) is the successor of the constant pressure valve (RVD). It increases the pressure on the discharge side of the compressor during the start-up phase and open only after the oil circulation is completely secured. This prevents the refrigerant from condensing in case the compressor shuts down. The integration of the check valve function is a new feature compared to the previous constant pressure valve. The RVR is available in diameters of DN40 to DN150, and with optional customer-specific inlet and outlet connections.

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.
