ecome established in many cities. Due tothe rising energy costs, the scarcity of fossilfuels and the need to reduce CO 2emissionsin line with Kyoto, the expansion ofdistrict heating has been given top priorrity.The continuing expansion of existingTechnical specificationsn Internal diametern Length1000 mm1981 mmn Height with gearbox and actuator 2350 mmn Maximum body diametern Weightn Maximum working overpressure1715 mm9100 kg40 bardistrict heating networks demands largerpipelines and also correspondingly dimensionedshut-off equipment.KLINGER Fluid Control is nowable to meet these demandsManufacture of the first prototypestarted in May 2008 and testing began inthe company’s own laboratory in August2008. In the testing department, the valvewas checked out at maximum loads accordingto a pre-ordained series of tests. Prototypetesting was brought to a succesfulconclusion at the end of October 2008. Aninvestment of more than EUR 200,000 innew gantries, jigs, tools, etc. was requiredbefore manufacture of the new ball valvewas feasible at the Gumpoldskirchen facility.KLINGER Fluid Control, based in Gumpoldskirchen(Vienna), has been a supplier ofspecial high-quality valves for the districtheating industry for more than 30 years.These valves are used not only in Austriabut also in district heating networks forexample in Moscow, St. Petersburg, Parisand Munich. KLINGER valves are knownthroughout the world for their reliability andlong service life. n2KLINGER BALLOSTAR for alternatingtemperature loadsKLINGER Fluid Control GmbH, AustriaAt KF Fluid, our French sales representative, strategy rests ontwo important columns: product differentiation and focus. KFFluid has identified applications such as steam or hot water at160/180 °C where the KVN and BALLOSTAR ranges offer ourcustomers superior tightness during service over a very longperiod of time. But sometimes success comes from unexpectedquarters - and MEG Mono Ethylene Glycol is one of them.MEG is used in many pharmaceuticalprocesses for cooling thermalfluids. The first BALLOSTARKHA SL VIII was installed in 1999 atSANOFI Aramon. MEG fluctuates from– 25 °C to + 150 °C at 10 bars with 1cycle every 8 hours, which is going tobe very tough for any valve.Many valves from differentbrands have previouslybeen installed, but didnot give satisfaction tothe end-user. However,thanks to its 3 pcs design and2 elastic sealing elements the KLINGERBALLOSTAR KHA can handle the changein temperature and stay tight in-line andto the outside. Because of the outstandingquality ofthe KLINGER BALLOS-TAR, the sealing elementsrequire changing every 4– 5 years only. Usually,the end-userwill buy a completebody becauseit is easier than sparesealing elements.New applicationsKLINGER Fluid ControlThe second and very successfulapplications meeting washeld at the Gumpoldskirchnerlocation in October 2008 - akey event that was attendedby our trading partners fromWestern, Central and EasternEurope.
Since 1999, both SANOFI Aramon andSANOFI Sisteron have only been installingBALLOSTAR KHA SL VIII on MEG applications.Other customers successfully usingKHA on MEG are: SOLVAY Tavaux, SOLVAYSalins du midi, FARCHIN, CHARABOT, andORSYMONDE. The next step for KF Fluidis to identify all pharmaceutical plantsthat use MEG in order to repeat the successachieved with SANOFI and otherend-users. nKLINGER technologies on the moveKLINGER Limited, AustraliaKLINGER Limited is proud to be associated with HIsmelt Corporationand their cutting-edge HIsmelt ® process technology.The HIsmelt ® process has beenspecially developed by Rio Tinto to treatiron ore fines with minimal raw materialpreparation using non-coking coals. It isvery flexible in terms of the qualities ofiron ore it can use - including high phosphorusores - and produces a premiumHIsmelt ® 860 mm Pressure Relief Valve(KLINGER gasket attached) being cranedup into position.quality iron metallic for the marketplace.HIsmelt ® is a direct iron-making processin which iron ore fines and noncokingcoals are injected directly into amolten iron bath to produce a quality moltenpig iron. It can be considered both asa potential replacement for the blast furnaceand as a new source of low-costiron units for the electric-arc steelmakingindustry. HIsmelt ® technology brings manyadvantages to the iron making industrysuch as low operating costs, low capitaloutlay, lower environmental impact, andgreater raw material and operational flexibility.HIsmelt ® technology is ready to belicensed worldwide.The world’s first commercial HIsmelt ®plant is located in Kwinana, Western Australia.Owned jointly by Rio Tinto, NucorCorporation, Mitsubishi Corporation andShougang Corporation, construction commencedin January 2003 with hot commissioningbeginning in April 2005.Currently, there are two other licenseeswho have signed up for the HIsmelt® process: the Laiwu Steel Group Limitedand the Nanjing Iron and Steel GroupJiangsu Huaigang Corporation Limited,both from China .The licences entitle thesegroups to develop an iron-making facilityusing world-beating HIsmelt ® technology.Under the agreements, the groups willbe able to replicate the 800,000 tonnesper-yearoutput of the Kwinana HIsmelt ®plant. n3The two-day meeting is aimed primarilyat an exchange of experience betweenKLINGER Fluid Control as a manufacturerand its trading partners. A total of 32 tradingpartners from 21 countries took part inwhat has now become a favorite event. Thisyear, too, was an opportunity to tell participantsabout several new applications, makingit very much easier for them to identifynew markets for high-quality KLINGERvalves. KLINGER Fluid Control products arehighly appreciated throughout the world fortheir excellent quality, broad range of applications,long service life and low maintenanceand life cycle costs. In addition tomany new and interesting applications, thehighlight of the event was without doubtthe presentation of the new DN 1000 sizedvalve in our BALLOSTAR range. During a12 bar saturated steam test, participantswere able to see for themselves just howthe new product performs. With a furtherprototype currently «in the pipeline»,series production is scheduled from thebeginning of 2009.Thanks to the great success of theseapplication meetings, we are pleased toannounce that further events are beingplanned for Asia, America and Africa forthe current year. n
