Safety Devices for Protecting Refrigeration Systems from Excess Pressure
UVR / UVRK PRESSURE REGULATING VALVES
UVR pressure regulating valves unite 3 features in one: apart from the pressure regulating function they also act as check valves and shut-off valves. They are available in straightway and angle design. They are designed for operation with natural refrigerants (NH3, CO2) and non-corrosive gases as per EN 378-1. This valve type features the possibility to vary the response pressure within a range of 2-8 bar. Additionally the valves can be closed manually and feature GEA reliable sealing system which enables the threaded bush to be replaced even when the valve is under pressure. The special design of this valve type eliminates the typical flattering. UVR pressure regulating valves are designed for a temperature range of -60 °C to 150°C and for pressure stages PS 25 and PS 40. UVRK pressure regulating valves are an upgrade of UVR pressure regulating valves as they feature an additionally integrated regulating cone. So this unites 4 functionalities in one valve: pressure regulating valve, check valve, regulating valve and shut-off valve.

Beyond the firewall: Securing what matters at GEA
Companies like GEA process and store large amounts of sensitive data. However, security incidents, from ransomware attacks to physical intrusions and industrial espionage, are ever-expanding. GEA’s effective protection of its business partners’ data – as well as its own proprietary information – is evolving into a competitive advantage. We spoke with Iskro Mollov, GEA’s Chief Information Security Officer, about what it takes to protect a global business in a volatile world.
Smart, stylish, circular: polycotton recycling with Circ
Resource-efficient fashion has been a long-sought ambition amid the fashion industry’s considerable contributions to global carbon emissions. The need to close the loop by recycling textile fibers into virgin-like materials is higher than ever but seemed like a distant dream until now: Circ, GEA’s American customer and pioneer in the field of textile recycling, might be rewriting the future of the fashion industry.
New food tipping point
Alternative proteins are promising – yet still expensive to produce. The usual response is that scaling up will solve this issue. But what if the solution was really about getting better, not just bigger? From more efficient, high-yield processes to upcycling waste heat, engineers are reshaping how we grow food.
