Emerson Introduces New Shutoff Valve That Enhances Safety and Reliability of Combustion Systems

The new valve offers a higher close-off pressure of 75 psi (5.2 Bar) ensures a safe shutoff in the event of a fuel train system failure and eliminates the need for additional safety components. The valve offers a flow rate which is twice that of other combustion valves on the market. As a result, it offers the highest BTU rating in the industry as well as the ability to deal with varying gas inlet pressures — without a reduction in burner performance and operation. Installation is also made easier with end connectors that eliminate the need for piping unions and a ventless compatible monoblock design that not only does away with the need for additional vent piping, but also limits greenhouse gas and vent emissions.  

“We’re offering our customers a highly adaptable safety shutoff valve that offers the same high levels of safety and reliability they have come to associate with the ASCO combustion valve products,” said Erik VanLaningham, vice president of marketing for industrial automation at Emerson. “We’re dedicated to providing easy-to-use, globally applicable combustion control solutions with the flexibility to address a full range of commercial and industrial applications.  Because we know our customers are often working with tight deadlines, we’ve made sure these products are available on short lead times.”
