Valves for data centers

Axel Larsson supplies valves, compensators and complete valve packages for data centers. We help with both new projects and existing facilities, with technical advice and a wide stocked range for fast deliveries.

When was the last time you inspected your rubber expansion joints?

Rubber compensators, also known as expansion joints, play an important role in the safety and reliability of your plant. They absorb movements, dampen vibrations and protect pipes, pumps and valves from mechanical stress. Because they usually work smoothly and without being noticed in daily operations, they are often only noticed when problems have already arisen. Here you will learn how to proactively maintain rubber compensators.

Can thermoplastic valves replace metal valves?

Yes, at the appropriate pressure and temperature, thermoplastic valves can replace metal valves, especially our thermoplastic ball valve AL 20-B-2014, which is designed with flange connections according to EN1092-1. The same standard used for metal valves and which allows for an easy direct change.

Basic Information About Threads

Threads are a common and simple type of connection where components are screwed together.

Common problems with valves with diffusers – and how to avoid them

Valves with actuators or valve assemblies are used in many types of systems where flows need to be controlled automatically. In most cases, they work as they should, but when something isn't right, it can quickly affect the whole process.

How to choose the right valve assembly for your application

Many people know they need a valve assembly but are unsure which solution is right for their system. That is perfectly reasonable. Valve assemblies are used in everything from simple water installations to more advanced processes with high pressures and varying temperatures. The choice affects both function and longevity, so it's worth going through a few things before making a decision.

Difference Between ANSI and DIN Flanges

The difference between ANSI and DIN is simple. ANSI is an American standard that is based on British units of measurement, also called the imperial system, while DIN is a European standard that is based on the metric system. It is therefore important to know whether you need an ANSI or DIN standard to ensure that you get the right products.

Valves compliant with ANSI standards

At Axel Larsson, we are well known for our strong offering in valves with DIN flanged connections. At the same time, we want to make it clear that we also offer valves according to ANSI standards, for example with good availability on Peko's ball valves, which are manufactured in Spain.

How an automated valve assembly works

A valve assembly is a finished unit in which the valve and actuator are assembled. When the control is done automatically via electricity or compressed air, it is instead called an automated valve assembly. This means that flows can be regulated without manual handling, which streamlines processes and increases control in the plant.

Compensators - Product overview, function and use

Compensators are flexible components that are installed in piping systems to absorb movement, dampen vibration, and protect equipment from mechanical stress. By compensating for thermal expansion, pressure fluctuations and mechanical movements, they contribute to the stable, safe and long-term operation of industrial plants.
