Valves from GEA AWP cover all temperature ranges – new electric control valves presented
October 8, 2024
At Chillventa 2024 in Nuremberg, GEA AWP presented its expanded portfolio of valves for operating temperatures from minus 10 degrees Celsius to plus 200 degrees Celsius. This is possible because of the new HT (High Temperature) series of GEA AWP. This means that the leading company in the development and production of valves and components for industrial refrigeration and heating systems now covers all common temperature ranges.

Fittings and components for all types of heating and cooling systems
GEA AWP develops and produces valves and components for industrial refrigeration and heating systems and machines. This includes valves that are especially designed for heat pump applications. The main products include safety valves, shut-off valves, ball valves, suction filters and oil management valves. GEA AWP sometimes also delivers heat pumps to ice rinks or ski slopes, for hot water in hotels or for example in swimming pools.
Service, needle, shut-off and control valves now with electric actuator
GEA AWP has carried out over 6,000 test cycless with electric shut-off and control valves ("motor activated valves"). New electric shut-off and control valves are now also available for pipe outside diameters (DN) from DN 6 to DN 80. Previously, the nominal diameters ranged from DN 100 to DN 500. The electric actuator is a multi-voltage actuator which can be operated with 24 V DC or up to 240 V AC and is also available with a digital positioner system for 0-10V, 4-20mA.
