Hydrogen Valves – The challenge, 1,500 bar, Goetze KG breaks through the valve sound barrier.
We have managed it. With a truly big bang, Goetze KG breaks through the valve sound barrier. Through the further development of the existing series 492, pressures up to 1,500 bar are ensured in the DN6 version. In doing so, the GOETZE safety valve is only half as heavy and half the size as comparable valves. It is just this compact design that simplifies the integration of the valve where there is restricted installation space.
Another resounding argument with regard to maximum flexibility is offered by the rotatable outlet housing. The direction of the outlet can therefore still be adjusted after installation, which simplifies the installation of the valve in a line environment that already exists.
The high-pressure safety valves are set on a high-pressure test bench produced specifically for GOETZE. These types of systems are not a matter of course on the market and require specific planning. Using the new test bench as well as its own engineering efforts in the further development of the series 492, Goetze KG achieves a milestone in the field of high-pressure safety valves for technical gases.
GOETZE therefore underlines its know-how as a solution partner in the field of hydrogen applications and thus supports the development of green hydrogen towards a promising substance in energy generation and storage as well as in the industrial sector.
For over 70 years, Goetze KG Armaturen has been manufacturing sophisti-cated high-performance valves and fittings for media under pressure: liq-uids, air, gases and vapours. Under the management of CEO Mr. Detlef Weimann, the family-owned company, which is based in Ludwigsburg, has grown to over 150 employees. In July 2019, in fourth generation, his son Mr. Tobias Weimann became a member of the board, who successfully supports the strategy of market expansion. Goetze has made themselves a reputation worldwide with their high level of quality “Made in Germany” – more than half of the production is now exported.
