GEA AWP has introduced its new HSX high-pressure float valve, designed for industrial refrigeration systems using ammonia (NH3) and carbon dioxide (CO2). This entirely mechanical valve requires no electrical connections, cables, or additional control systems, making it particularly well-suited for cold environments where low condensation temperatures are crucial.
The HSX valve optimises the energy efficiency of refrigeration systems by reducing pressure fluctuations and lowering compressor power consumption. It can also be used to improve energy efficiency in hot gas defrosting systems, cutting energy waste by up to 50% compared to other methods.
GEA AWP specialises in the development of components for industrial refrigeration systems. The company is part of the GEA group, which has been a member of IIR since 2007.
