New Globe Valve with Emissions Free Seal

May 1, 2009

Dresser Masoneilan says it can help customers meet strict environmental emissions standards with the Camflex II rotary globe valve. Featuring a specially developed Emissions Free (EF) Seal and many other innovative design characteristics, the Camflex II valve reduces equipment emissions that can occur at the valve shaft sealing, or packing, particularly after long-term operation. In control valve construction, a delicate balance must be maintained between a tight seal that prevents potentially hazardous emissions and excessive friction between the seal and the valve stem. High friction can affect a valve’s ability to provide the desired control accuracy which can pose a costly hazard. It can also wear the packing material over time causing leakage and increasing maintenance costs and down-time. www.masoneilan.com
