Introduction
The document discusses the development and advantages of new injection nozzles, IDR and IDK, designed to improve the efficiency and reliability of natural gas odorization systems. These nozzles address the limitations of conventional designs, such as sedimentary deposition and structural instability.

Design and Development
The new nozzles were developed through a collaboration between Westnetz GmbH, Böhmer, and DBI Gas- und Umwelttechnik GmbH. Westnetz GmbH provided design expertise, Böhmer contributed reliable ball valve technology, and DBI developed a new vaporizer design.

Key Features

• Flushing Connection: Reduces risk by preventing direct contact with odorants and allows for decontamination of the valve chain.
• Check Valve: Prevents reflux of the medium.
• Material and Construction: Made with stainless steel and FFKM sealings for corrosion resistance and longevity.
• Vaporizer: Ensures constant odorant release and reduces residue buildup, enhancing efficiency and service life.

Benefits

• Increased safety and reduced costs.
• Visible advantages include reliability, efficiency, long-lasting performance, and pressure tightness up to 100 bar.
• Potential reduction in odorant usage by up to 20%.

Applications
The nozzles are suitable for use in pipelines and ball valves, offering improved performance in natural gas odorization.
