OLAB Series Revolution (Patent Pending) is the revolutionary manually operated stainless steel flanged ball valve for R744 (CO2) that solves all the problems associated with traditional ball valves with welded or threaded ODS connections, ideal for operation at high pressures (150 bar / 2175 psi guaranteed with a safety factor of 3, burst pressure of 450 BAR / 6527 psi).
In fact, the valve body of the Series Revolution is entirely made of stainless steel - anticorrosive and indestructible - and free of welds. It is closed by a series of Class A2 stainless steel screws that screw into the body threads through the flange seats. The perfect seal between these two components is left to a pair of OLAB certified EPDM O.Rings placed in closed housing chambers so as to be anti-extrusion for the seals.
By not having to perform TIG welding to close the valve body, OLAB Series Revolution is not affected by the problems of damage to elastomeric gaskets and seats resulting from possible overheating of the materials. The outer flanges can be easily disassembled and the connecting pipes safely TIG welded before reassembling the flanges. This peculiarity also allows interchangeability of the flanges to change the type of device connections without having to change the entire valve.
One notable advantage of the Series Revolution
ball valves is the simplicity involved in replacing the valve body.
Welding is a requirement only during the first installation. When the product
reaches the end of its life cycle, you can easily unscrew the Class A2
stainless steel screws that connect the valve body to the external flanges,
which remain welded to the system. Once the old body is detached, a new
body can be inserted in its place and effortlessly screwed back onto the
existing external flanges, without the need for additional welding or
alterations to the system. This replacement does not require specialized
personnel, pipe cutting, or additional welds. This process takes mere
minutes and results in significant savings in both time and money, with an
added guarantee of safety.
However, our innovations do not end here. We
have thoroughly considered every aspect. Whereas traditional end-of-life
products need to be discarded entirely, leading to waste and pollution, our
Ecosystem approach offers a solution. Valves that are replaced can be returned
to OLAB for refurbishment. Here, the internal components can be replaced at
a fraction of the cost of a new valve, saving both money and the environment.
