How shut-off valves for gas work

Instantaneous trip time is essential for maximum plant safety. We have designed our quick-closing shut-off valves for gas to close by spring force in less than one second in the event of an auxiliary power failure, and within five seconds in the control function.

Thanks to Fire-Safe approval, they also shut off reliably and quickly in the event of fire.

Shut-off valves protect you from expensive damage

Especially the often hot and contaminated gases of the first gas family place special demands on safety quick-closing shut-off valves. The safe design and reliable construction of our quick-closing shut-off valves ensure the safety of your system even under extreme conditions. This helps you avoid damage to highly sensitive components such as gas turbines and gas compressors.

Safety shut-off valves from Albrecht-Automatik are suitable for these gases

DVGW worksheet G 260 divides fuel gases into different gas families. We manufacture safety quick-closing shut-off valves for the following gases:

Shut-off valves for combustible gases according to G 260 of the first gas family

Gases of the first gas family are town and coke oven gases, marked with S and have a high content of hydrogen and carbon monoxide. They are very toxic and are mainly produced as by-products in the coal and steel industries. Other gases in the first gas family are also:

  • Coke oven gas
  • Lunar gas
  • Blast furnace gas
  • Mine gas
  • Water gas
  • Synthesis gas
  • Generator gas
  • Wood gas

Shut-off valves for combustible gases according to G 260 of the second gas family

Gases of the second gas family are marked with N and consist mainly of methane. They are further divided into the groups L and LL (for L gas) and H and E (for H gas). Second gas family gases include:

  • Natural gas
  • Petroleum gas
  • Mine gas
  • Hydrogen
  • Natural gas
  • Biogas
  • Compost gas
  • Digester gas
  • Landfill gas
  • Sewage gas

Shut-off valves for combustible gases according to G 260 of the third gas family

Gases of the third gas family are liquefied gases and are marked F. These are refinery gases that occur mainly as a byproduct of petroleum refining. Third gas family gases include:

  • Propane
  • Butane
  • Gas mixtures of propane and butane

Shut-off valves from Albrecht-Automatik - Made in Germany and in use for you worldwide

With our quick-closing shut-off valves and compact systems, we have stood for certified plant safety since 1958. Our strength is the in-house design and individual construction of valves in compact design for industrial and power plants. With shut-off valves from Albrecht-Automatik you decide for highest safety, sustainability and professional quality.

Safety devices with automatic shut-off function

The function and working of the shut-off valves is conceived such that dangerous operating conditions are avoided and the system is protected. If the auxiliary power source fails, the safety quick shut-off valves are closed through spring force. Closing time is less than 1 second / within 5 seconds during control function.

Use area: Combustible gases according to G260 1st, 2nd and 3rd Gas Family, other gases on request. Further Specifications you get in the new production program catalogue.
