Straight flow geometry maintaining permanent differential drop below 0.1 bar
In-line port arrangement in a single plane simplifies pipeline installation

Control ball valves Type G for gas and cavern storage

Regelkugelhahn Type G control ball valves feature a split screwed body engineered for natural gas transmission, compressor stations, and cavern solution mining for hydrogen storage. Metal-to-metal seating and tungsten carbide armor deliver outstanding abrasion resistance.

Split threaded body design enables rapid replacement of perforated throttle discs
Subcritical multi-stage pressure relief trims eliminate cavitation and vibration
Straight bore design minimizes operational pressure drop down to only 0.2 bar
Tungsten carbide coating withstands abrasive salt slurries and high flow rates

High temperature control ball valves Regelkugelhahn W

Regelkugelhahn Type W control ball valves are built in welded and wafer designs for boiler feedwater control, steam throttling, and high temperature gases up to 600 °C and PN 400. The valve unites precise proportional modulation with dependable class VI isolation.

Welded or flanged wafer body construction ensures permanent external tight sealing
Multi-stage perforated disc trim eliminates noise and high-pressure cavitation
Precision metal-to-metal seating between hard-coated ball and floating seat rings
Combined tight shut-off isolation and accurate throttling in a single assembly

Desuperheaters Einspritzkuehler for steam conditioning

ARTES desuperheaters regulate steam temperatures by injecting pressurized water directly into the pipeline centerline. Built for ratings up to PN 400 and temperatures up to 620 °C, they deliver reliable thermal moderation in power plant boilers and industrial steam lines.

Cooling water injected into pipe centerline regardless of modulated throughput
Precision rotary spindle motion coordinates multi-nozzle atomizing patterns
High-grade alloy construction prevents thermal fatigue and vibration fractures
Actuated via standard electric, pneumatic, or high-thrust hydraulic drives

Motive steam coolers Treibdampfkuehler for process steam

Treibdampfkuehler motive steam coolers utilize high-pressure motive steam to atomize injected cooling water inside process steam conduits. This design delivers rapid droplet vaporization, eliminates thermal shock hazards, and permits cooling down to saturation thresholds.

Turbulent motive steam dispersal delivers ultrafine droplet atomization
Enables steam cooling directly down to saturation point without wet deposition
Short vaporization path reduces straight upstream and downstream pipe lengths
Broad turndown ratio provides dependable temperature modulation at low loads

Steam converting stations Dampfumformstation for bypass

Dampfumformstation steam converting stations integrate steam pressure reduction and temperature cooling into a single high-integrity body. Multi-stage subcritical throttling up to PN 400 and 600 °C suppresses acoustic noise while extending component service durability.

Combined pressure reduction and steam temperature desuperheating in one unit
Multi-stage subcritical expansion stages minimize turbulent sound and vibration
Customized internal trim geometry tailored for high, medium, and low pressure bypass
Field-replaceable wear trim components permit on-site servicing without cutouts

German manufacturing heritage and valve engineering standards of ARTES

Located in Velten near Berlin and operating an engineering center in Quakenbrueck, ARTES Valve & Service GmbH specializes in high pressure control valves and steam conditioning equipment for severe service environments.

The modern production infrastructure combines precision CNC machining centers, specialized welding procedures, and calibrated testing rigs.

Experienced engineers perform fluid dynamics analysis and finite element stress evaluations, ensuring dependable service across power generation plants, underground natural gas and hydrogen storage caverns, and chemical processing facilities in over forty countries.

Three-way control valves Drei-Wege-Armatur for power plant bypass lines

ARTES Drei-Wege-Armatur three-way control valves combine the functionality of two conventional control valves within a single compact body, reducing piping footprint and requiring only one actuator.

Fabricated for pipe sizes from DN 50 to DN 700 and pressure ratings from PN 25 to PN 400 up to 600 °C, these assemblies handle steam and boiler feedwater circuits. A calibrated gap between rotary segment and housing prevents stem vibration fatigue caused by turbulent flow forces.

Straight-through flow geometry maintains permanent pressure loss below 0.1 bar, while coplanar pipe connections simplify header layout.

Regelkugelhahn Type G control ball valves for gas transmission and caverns

Regelkugelhahn Type G control ball valves feature a split screwed body engineered for compressor stations, gas distribution terminals, and solution mining for underground hydrogen and natural gas cavern storage.

Pure metal-to-metal seating between ball and seat ring, enhanced by tungsten carbide armor, ensures dependable tight shutoff when handling abrasive salt slurries and high-velocity fluids.

Multi-stage perforated throttle discs expand the flow subcritically, eliminating cavitation and acoustic vibration under intense pressure drops. The split design permits rapid replacement of internal trim on site to meet changing field operating demands.

High temperature Regelkugelhahn Type W valves for steam and feedwater

Engineered in flanged wafer and welded configurations, Regelkugelhahn Type W control ball valves provide precise throttling and dependable tight shutoff for boiler feedwater, superheated steam, and high temperature gases up to 600 °C and PN 400.

Straight-through fluid geometry holds permanent flow losses to 0.2 bar while sustaining continuous linear modulation throughout the rotational stroke.

Perforated disc trim effectively dissipates acoustic energy, and metal-to-metal seat contact maintains external tightness during rapid thermal fluctuations.

Einspritzkuehler injection desuperheaters with centerline water spray

ARTES Einspritzkuehler injection desuperheaters regulate steam temperatures in utility boilers and industrial steam lines at operating pressures up to PN 400 and temperatures up to 620 °C.

Cooling water is introduced directly along the pipe centerline regardless of throughput volume, preventing liquid impingement against pipe walls and eliminating thermal shock risks.

Spray atomization is modulated through coordinated spindle rotation and internal vortex nozzle opening, ensuring accurate dosing and smooth control across varying loads. High-strength heat-resistant alloys eliminate vibration fatigue failures.

Treibdampfkuehler motive steam coolers and steam converting stations

Treibdampfkuehler motive steam coolers use high-pressure motive steam for ultrafine dispersion of cooling water, reducing steam temperatures down to saturation limits within minimal vaporization distances.

For combined pressure reduction and cooling, ARTES manufactures packaged Dampfumformstation steam converting stations up to DN 800 and PN 400. Multi-stage subcritical throttling prevents supersonic expansion velocities and structural noise.

Field-renewable trim elements enable planned overhaul on site, minimizing downtime during turbine and boiler turnaround intervals.
