Product catalog summary
Introduction
The document introduces the new continuous blowdown valves, BA(E) 46 and BA(E) 47, developed by GESTRA AG. These valves are designed to enhance plant service lifetime and improve operational efficiency.

Benefits
  • Extended service lifetime due to improved closing action and shut-off tightness.
  • Compliance with PED, AD2000, ASME B 16.34, and ASME B 31.1 standards.
  • Support for PN 63 applications and ASME flange connections to Class 150, 300, and 400.
  • Available in nominal sizes from DN 15 to DN 50.
  • Patented nozzle stem with a 270° turning radius allows for adjustable flowrates, reducing the need for multiple valve types.
  • Increased flowrate for continuous operation by 30%.
  • Reduced spare parts inventory due to fewer valve variants.
  • No need for retrofitting if flowrates change due to water quality or boiler pressure alterations.
  • Compatible with SPECTORbus (CANopen) for driving the valve.

Technical Features
  • Electrical drive EF1-40 with CANopen communication interface.
  • Approved for use in explosion-risk areas according to European ATEX Directives.
  • Meets ASME Code B 16.34 requirements.
  • Regulating lever with an opening scale divided into three zones.
  • PTFE stuffing gland for increased shut-off tightness.
  • New discharge nozzle with a protective sleeve to reduce wear and clogging risk.
  • Universal nozzle stem for a wide range of flowrate regulation.

Conclusion
The BA(E) 46 and BA(E) 47 valves represent a significant advancement in continuous blowdown valve technology, combining proven methods with innovative features to optimize performance and reduce costs.
