Emerson has expanded its range of angle seat valves with the ASCO Series 290D, available in Europe currently and globally by late 2022. The modular design of the expanded 290 Series comes with an updated array of valve bodies and actuator materials, fittings, functions, certifications and accessories.
Significant features include fugitive emissions certification, switch box with IP69K protection level and safe actuator dismounting. These customisations are aimed to improve process efficiency and safety while reducing costs in many applications, including specialty chemical, industrial and food.
In the series, a range of valve bodies, actuators, options, control box and certifications are provided for increased application versatility. Modularity makes it possible to interchange different actuators on the same body for on-site modification of the valve characteristics after assembly.
Both IP66 and IP69K enclosures are available for either indoor or outdoor use. It’s also suitable for a wider range of media, including aggressive fluids, steam, gas, vacuum and superheated water.
The 290 Series is designed with a highly reliable fluid control mechanism engineered for safe shutdown. With valves accounting for over 51% of fugitive or irregular emissions, this design helps reduce fugitive emissions and minimizes risks to workers and the environment. Further safety-enhancing features include safe actuator dismounting, which ensures maintenance workers are protected during potentially dangerous actuator dismantling procedure.
