GEA AWP WVR | WVB 3-Way Valves
GEA 3-way valves are suitable for use in the refrigerant cycles of industrial refrigeration systems, they can be installed between pressure vessels or between pressure pipes and two safety valves. GEA 3-way valves are activated by a handwheel. When one of the outlets closes, the other one opens forcibly. It is impossible to lock both at the same time. The compact design of the WVR AL requires minimum space and makes horizontal and vertical assembly possible. Compared to steel and stainless steel valve types the weight could be reduced by up to 30 % by using salt-water resistant aluminum EN AW-6082 as body material. This 3-way valve is perfect for assembling safety valves without any restrictions due to vibrations. GEA 3-way valves are maintenance-free.
