By creating the ValveCalc computer software, it is possible to establish precise valve performance date while simulating the operating conditions. This process allows for individual components to be adapted and to accommodate various installation stipulations on the refrigeration plant. The result is an improvement in functional performance and reliability.

AWP also operates an in house purpose built testing laboratory where research and developments are analysed under real working conditions.

Cooperation with the institute for Air and Refrigeration in Dresden has led to numerous developments.

• The creation of a computer program for planning valve layout arrangements and design.
• The development of Valves for CO2 purposes with a working pressure of up to 160 bar.
• Flow analysis for safety valves and check valves.
• The optimization of sealing methods and materials to reduce leakage.
• The optimization of sealing design to reduce refrigerant leakage to a minimum.

The AWP philosophy: Fulfil your customers’ requirements by offering the best solutions.
