ThermOmegaTech, a specialist in railroad freeze protection, is expanding its offering of one of its flagship product lines – the GURU® DL2.1 and GURU® Magnum valve – to markets worldwide. The GURU valve is a freeze-protection solution for diesel locomotives that eliminates costly freeze damage in extremely cold temperatures with no outside power required, and easy installation and maintenance. The GURU Magnum valve offers the same freeze protection in a larger valve size, for double the flow in drain time. More than 95% of all North American Class 1 Railroads currently use the GURU line of freeze protection valves.
“Every year, Class 1 Railroads face the need to protect billions of dollars in equipment from the threat of freezing. The GURU self-actuated, water-sensing freeze protection valves empty the water cooling system in a diesel electric locomotive at the set temperature to prevent costly freeze damage”, said Paul Driscoll, vice president of sales for Railroad at ThermOmegaTech. The GURU valve product range will continue to be fully designed and manufactured in the U.S.
