Worcester coated valves excel in fish freezing
Flowserve is playing a key role in the operation of one of the world's most modern fish processing ships, via Atlantic Dawn, a global leader in frozen pelagic fish, based in County Donegal, Ireland
CryoService, a major distributor of carbon dioxide and other gases to the fast food industry, worked in conjunction with Flowserve Flow Control to find a solution to the problem.
CryoService were already using the Worcester Controls 44 Series as part of a hand held manifold block at the end of the CO2 feed line.
They wanted to install a non return valve as close to the supply nozzle as possible but did not want to significantly increase the weight of the manifold.
The solution was to use the Worcester NR44 that combines the standard Worcester three piece valve with a Gestra non return valve into a single, compact light weight assembly.
The combination of the two products is unique and combines the positive shut off that is required with assurance that there can be no reverse flow back to the supply vessel.
