Ball valves and
moisture indicators
for R744 applications
Emerson Climate Technologies has
expanded its range of moisture indi-
cators and ball valves for R744 (CO2)
subcritical applications.
The CIA series of fully hermetic moisture
indicators includes all features of the
existing MIA series, such as the crystal
indicator element for long lifetime and
reliability, or the four-colour indicator for
easy determination of moisture content.
The maximum working pressure of the
CIA series has been increased from 45
to 60 bar.
Seven models are available, with ODF
connection sizes from 6 to 16mm.
The CVE/CVS series of
ball valves also feature
a hermetic design with
laser-welded valve body
and full flow design for
minimal pressure drop.
Compared to the existing
BVE/BVS series the
maximum working pressure has been
increased from 45 to 60 bar. Nine new
models are available with connections
ranging from 6 to 22mm, and each
model is available with or without
Schrader valve.
Emerson Climate Technologies provides
heating, ventilation, air conditioning and
refrigeration solutions for residential,
industrial and commercial applications.
The group combines technology with
engineering, design, distribution,
educational and monitoring services to
provide customised, integrated climate
control solutions.

Victaulic mobile truck hits the road
Victaulic’s mobile truck will be touring
the UK throughout this year, stopping
at handy locations to showcase the
company’s grooved piping system
solutions.
The facility is designed to help
engineers, contractors and building
owners discover first-hand solutions
that are relevant to their projects.
From effective pre-planning, product
selection, system design and modelling,
to prefabrication and on-site instal-
lation, the truck addresses each element
of a project.
Through an interactive blend of hands-
on experience, demonstrations, product
displays and discussions, visitors will
learn how Victaulic’s products and
services can boost efficiency.
Engineers will be able to discuss drawing
packages, 3D modelling and BIM
coordination packages, along with value
engineering, value analysis, estimating,
pre-planning, project management
and other aspects that contribute to
project success. Contractors will learn
how pre-fabrication techniques can be
applied to pipe fabrication and job-
site construction. They will be able to
discover how to reduce their system’s
total installed cost and how CAD and
other software solutions can help.
Building owners will find out how
proper pre-planning, good system
design, product selection and value-
added services from Victaulic can
help compress schedules, reduce risk,
improve productivity and facilitate
system maintenance and expansion.
“Our UK touring truck is a
great opportunity for clients
and potential customers to
explore the comprehensive
range of Victaulic solutions
in one place and discover the
advantages they deliver,” said
Jared Breidinger, divisional
manager, Northern Europe, at
Victaulic.
“Visitors can see actual
examples of mechanical
room installations, view
pump displays, and have a
go at using grooving tools
and installing couplings.
Local representatives will be on hand
to demonstrate, answer questions, and
give out information to help customers
make the very best use of what Victaulic
has to offer.”
Those wanting information on truck
stops or wishing to book a visit should
call Victaulic on +44 1438 310690.
