Overflow valves independent from back pressure, spring loaded.
UVU OVERFLOW VALVES
GEA overflow valves are designed to be used as relief valves in the refrigerant circulation of industrial refrigerating plants. Overflow valves are safety devices for protecting the refrigerating system or its components from excess pressure (see also DIN 8975 part 7). They open independently from back pressure and close completely within a pressure drop of 10 % below the set response pressure. They comply with the technical regulations of the German Technical Control Board (TÜV).

GEA Insights
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.
A safer way to produce cancer treatments
As anti-cancer drugs become more powerful and complex, GEA is redefining how to safely freeze-dry these life-saving treatments.
