Industrial shock absorbers from ACEShock absorbers protect safety valves in refinery
Overpressure in refinery pipes can lead to catastrophic consequences. In the event of overpressure, safety valves must therefore be opened in fractions of a second. Neither electric actuators nor pneumatic actuators are an option here. The Doedijns Group and ACE shock absorbers have developed a customized solution.

Detail of the actuator designed by DGI with integrated, adjustable ACE industrial shock absorber for a compressor package in a natural gas refinery (right). The pneumatic control in the actuator has the task of opening the 24-inch throttle valve shown below within half a second in the event of overpressure in order to equalize the pressure. (Image: ACE)
