Our client manufactures gas detection systems. These systems contain a measurement and control system with proportional valves for a constant gas flow past various sensors. The goal was to optimize these proportional valves for a specific gas flow with the lowest possible hysteresis and a compact design, preferably at a lower purchasing price.
By gaining a thorough understanding of the overall system, we designed a customer-specific, calibrated proportional valve that closely approximates the ideal flow curve.
First, we verified the repeatability, variability and stability of the flow curve ourselves under lab conditions. Our client then validated the valves in their system and performed long-term lifespan tests under their unique usage conditions.
After finalizing the design and calibration process, we arranged a reliable supply chain of components and created the assembly, calibration and test lines for series production.
Over the past few years, we have delivered more than 100,000 of these valves, to the great satisfaction of our client. This case perfectly illustrates Gevasol’s Build-to-Need philosophy: intimately understanding our customers’ challenges to deliver solutions that go Beyond Standard!
Our partner develops robotic systems that perform an automatic Cleaning in Place (CIP) cycle three times a day. Initially, this cleaning process relied on individual valves that had to be interconnected. This setup posed significant challenges: it required a lot of space, was costly, and lacked modularity for different system configurations.
At Gevasol, we believe that meaningful innovation starts with listening. When a Tier 1 aviation equipment supplier approached us with a challenge in their oxygen safety systems, we began by understanding their needs in depth. Their existing valve solutions lacked the precision required for accurate gas bolus delivery, and each new configuration demanded custom adaptors; adding complexity, cost, and limiting scalability.
