Kongsberg MPV has released a new technology for general purpose valves, called Full Flow Maintenance, that allows to operate on, inspect and substitute the most important valve pieces without dismantling the valve from the pipe, so no flow interruption has to be imposed, nor any pipe drain/venting must be performed.
This system sports many interesting features: it continuously monitors the disk, it integrates a double block&bleed and actuatuating/operating system in one valve, includes a safe position indicator with built-in sensors and has a no-scoring/no-galling of the sealing member.
The system has been patented in Norway.
