New high pressure values
The valves will be able to withstand pressure of up to 625 bar and are specifically designed for the MEGI Engine fuel gas system.
Duncan Gaskin, market development manager for Parker Bestobell Marine, said: “We developed these valves in collaboration with a number of shipbuilding companies which required them for the MAN ME-GI fuel gas systems.”
He added: “As worldwide markets look to reduce air pollutants and with the introduction of Emission Control Areas (ECA), we expect to see demand increase for high pressure valves that are marine approved.”
The new range includes manual, gearbox operation, single actuator and tandem actuator vales. It is scheduled to be launched at the Australian LNG18 exhibition in April 2016.
It has previously supplied its high pressure values for fuel gas systems at a variety of projects. These include five Teekay LNG carriers being built at DSME in South Korea and two LNG carriers being built in HHI Shipyard in South Korea for Knutsen OAS Shipping of Norway.
