CE – Profiled Ring Valve (for process gas)
Quality proven in thousands of applications
Quality proven in thousands of applications
The CE Valve has been HOERBIGER’s most popular ring valve for years. Positive experiences from a wide variety of uses attest to the performance of the CE Valve in a broad field of applications. Thanks to its outstanding efficiency, the valve is suitable not only for hydrogen but also for heavy gases such as CO2, carbon monoxide and ethylene.
The HOERBIGER CE Valve is optimally suited for applications in the chemical and process industries, in refineries, and in the energy sector. Successful experience from a large number of field installations proves the performance of the CE Valve in a wide range of applications. The valve offers reliability and efficiency even under difficult conditions.
The long service life and high reliability of CE Valves are the result of profiled ring / tapered seat arrangement, impact-resistant valve rings, unique anti-stiction design and the high performance spring technology. This extends maintenance intervals, reduces the risk of premature wear and the associated downtime, and lowers energy consumption.
