With over 10,000 units installed, the applications for our thermal shut-off assemblies can be quite varied. Let's take a look at some common applications that you should see everyday.
Easily identifiable applications include: back-up generators of all sizes; key access points in a piping system; storage tanks; or refueling stations. Valves can be ball or butterfly with a typical size range anywhere from 3/4" through 6".
Our thermal shut-off assemblies can be used as natural gas safety shut-offs on gas turbine applications or to shut-off the gas supply to a building. Typical sizes can range up to a 12" fire safe butterfly valve.
Today's industrial landscape includes all manner of flammable material. Any application that shuts down the feed from a tank with flammable material is ideal especially where hoses are involved. The thermal shut-off valves pictured to the right were installed after a fire investigation determined that the lubricants contributed to the fire.
Applications at a food or beverage facility include placement on alcohol or phosphate tanks. There are also a number of high pressure and hydraulic applications to consider at food plants.
BI-TORQ Valve Automation will be closed on Monday, February 15th in observance of President's day. We will resume normal operating hours on Tuesday, February 16th.
