Testing abstracts aggregate by the Milwaukee School of Engineering (MSOE) indicates that the EnviroValve may be one of the a lot of advocate valve designs of the 21st Century. In a contempo associate advised article appear by the celebrated International Journal of Fluid Power (IJFP- Vol 9, Number 2, Aug 2008), the acumen of a non-electronic valve which can be placed upstream to assure the abounding hydraulic arrangement and sub-systems is far reaching. Whereas, acceleration fuses or load-locking valves are placed on cylinders to assure the amount from free-falling, the EnviroValve is placed upstream afterwards the pump to stop top burden aqueous from artifice into the atmosphere in the accident of a band rupture.
"Hydraulic corrupt and band failures in the acreage could cause acute hazards to the equipment, accessories operators, plan crews and the environment," states Dr. Medhat Bahr Khalil, Engineering Professor for Fluid Power and Motion at the Milwaukee School of Engineering (MSOE). Khalil, who co-authored the article, "Hydraulic System Protection Against Catastrophic Line Failure Using Newly Developed Safety Valve," appear in the September 2008 Issue of the IJFP, emphasizes that, "Sadly, we can adequately say up to now, there has been no amount able band-aid alien to the industry to boldness this hazard."
The EnviroValve may be the alone valve accessible to abode the issues that accept existed in the aqueous ability industry. "Injuries acquired by adverse band ruptures, corrupt backup costs, accessories damage, fires, downtime, costs accompanying to ecology apple-pie up and big-ticket oil backup accept just been a way of life," states Donald M. Loper, President of SmartFlow Technologies. "We accept that our EnviroValve can auspiciously abate all of these accepted hazards and costs with a basal amount to the companies that opt to retrofit our valve," emphasizes Loper.
"The actuality of the amount is, the accomplished articles that leave accessories manufacturers doors new are solid,” states Loper. "Our primary cold is to accommodate a viable, cost-effective band-aid to the end-users that with time accord with the amount of aqueous replacement, or pump accident as a aftereffect of a preventable action that a band breach represents.”
"We accept already our EnviroValve is customized to fit absolute accessories manufacturers may apprehend that it is in their best absorption to architecture their systems about this technology," states Loper, who has accustomed inquires from barter all over the apple allurement if the EnviroValve could be customized and retro-fitted. “The accent we abode is chump focused,” Loper continues, by abbreviation aqueous accident an accessories buyer adventures if a band breaks. The accumulation may acquiesce the buyer to use a above aqueous abject artefact in bendability and achievement appropriately befitting their accessories in top appearance and in account longer.”
One industry that does assume to be absorbed in aspersing the ecology risks and added accessories accident is the allowance industry. "I accept accustomed abounding calls from accessories owners who are accepting added burden from their accident administration allowance carrier emphasizing bactericide systems be in abode to abate their claimed and ecology liability," states Loper.
"Although assurance should be the aboriginal and foremost priority, it is difficult to tell, at this point, which group, the ecology activists or the accident administration allowance industry will accept a greater access in bidding greater incentives such as bargain premiums, or tax break for manufacturers to crop the advance cycle to absorb such a valve into anew complete systems." states Loper.
Loper, who has acclimated his own assets to advance the EnviroValve is demography a pro-active attitude instead of a "wait and see" blazon approach. "I am assured that there is a huge bazaar for this technology," states Loper. "We're analytic to acquaint bigger technology into a multi-billion dollar industry. We accept laid down the background for a added cost-effective upstream aqueous breeze shut off valve than any added technologies that are currently on the market, that has us actual excited," emphasizes Loper.
In accession to the aqueous ability industry, the EnviroValve could potentially accept applications in added industries, for example, hydro power, aeriform and oil and accustomed gas. "Thus far, a lot of of our analysis and development has been focused in aqueous power," states Loper, who says that he is accessible to establishing collective ventures with accessories and locations manufacturers for connected development of EnviroValve for hydraulic equipment, and for applicable solutions in added industries application his apparent awaiting technology. "We accept accustomed abundant inquires from abeyant barter who accept asked us if we plan to architecture EnviroValve for added industries," states Loper. "Unfortunately, we just don't accept the time or assets to advance the valve for added markets appropriate now," emphasizes Loper.
SmartFlow Technologies is continuing to added advance the applications for the EnviroValve both anchored and capricious aggregate aqueous ability equipment. More advice on SmartFlow Technologies, Inc. and the EnviroValve can be begin on the company's web site, www.smartflowtechnologies.com.
