World’s most compact 3-way control valve
The OMEGA Compact 3-way valve provides simple, accurate, and reliable temperature regulation for both diverting and mixing applications in high and low temperature cooling systems. Its compact design, low weight and equally compact actuator makes it much easier to install and handle in cramped engine room spaces.
Rasmus Frimann Nielsen, product manager for Frese Marine & Industry, said the OMEGA Compact interacts “perfectly with our dynamic OPTIMA Compact technology to maintain full temperature and flow control in engine room cooling systems”.
Low pressure drop and zero leakage
Like all Frese products, the OMEGA Compact is designed with energy savings as a central target.
“It is optimized for minimum pressure drop and is therefore market leading in terms of high kV values. The best result is achieved when OMEGA Compact is installed as a mixing valve. For typical marine cooling water systems this will result in 30-50% pump energy savings through the valve itself,” Mr Nielsen explained.
However, the main energy saving potential comes from Frese’s LeakGuard technology, which is rated as Class IV (0,01%), and prevents internal leakage, even over time.
“This reduces fuel oil consumption on the main engine in low temperature cooling systems, as well as on boilers in high temperature cooling systems,” Mr Nielsen added.
The OMEGA Compact is also designed for easy onsite service and maintenance for less down-time in case of repairs.
