CIRCOR Highlighted Houttuin Twin-Screw Pumps and Energy Recovery Control Valve at StocExpo 2023
Visitors to Stand E23 saw technology that reduces energy use and emissions
Visitors to Stand E23 learned more about the pumps and CIRCOR's new, innovative energy recovery control valve (ERCV) technology that converts excess hydraulic energy into mechanical or electrical energy. The ERCV combines a screw-pump, designed as a twin-screw motor, and modern variable-speed drive technology. Energy recovery is currently available from <0.1 kilowatt (kW) up to 1000 kW per unit. A medium-sized 100kW ERCV would recover about 875,000 kWh per year in continuous operation, valued today at about 75,000 €. At the same time, the ERCV reduces total CO2 emissions by 367 tons annually.
"As a company with a long-standing reputation for fluid handling equipment in terminal applications through our Houttuin Brand, we are thrilled to introduce our new product at StocExpo. The ERCV technology is a game changer in our sustainability efforts, enabling us to reduce CO2 emissions and energy usage. This marks an exciting step forward in our commitment to a more environmentally friendly future." Axel Jäschke, Director Strategic Business Development.
The Houttuin Twin-Screw 236 Series that was on display is a self-priming horizontal double entry twin-screw pump featuring two intermeshing screws rotating in a pump casing insert that ensures high pumping efficiency with constant flow and unequaled suction power. This model is ideal for pumping contaminated or lubricating and non-lubricating liquids of low or high viscosity. The pump is an excellent choice for the chemical and petrochemical, soap and grease, paint and lacquer, food and beverage, plastics, sugar, and shipbuilding industries, as well as environmental technologies and tank farms.
Also on display was the Houttuin Twin-Screw 211.40 Series, a vertical, self-priming, double entry twin-screw pump, which can also handle almost any fluid. However, the vertical design requires a smaller footprint in confined spaces and will be the perfect choice for the Houttuin ERCV solution.

Featured Product
FLIR Si1-LD - Industrial Acoustic Imaging Camera for Compressed Air Leak Detection
The FLIR Si1-LD is an easy-to-use acoustic imaging camera for locating and quantifying pressurized leaks in compressed air systems. This lightweight, one-handed camera is designed to help maintenance, manufacturing, and engineering professionals identify air leaks faster than with traditional methods. Built with a carefully constructed array of MEMS microphones for high sensitivity, the Si1-LD produces a precise acoustic image that visually displays ultrasonic information, even in loud, industrial environments. The acoustic image is overlaid in real time on a digital image, allowing you to accurately pinpoint the source of the sound, with onboard analytics which quantify the losses being incurred. The Si1-LD features a plugin that enables you to import acoustic images to FLIR Thermal Studio suite for offline editing, analysis, and advanced report creation. Field analysis and reporting can also be done using the FLIR Acoustic Camera Viewer cloud service. Transferring of images can be managed via memory stick or USB data cable. Through a regular maintenance routine, the FLIR Si1-LD can help facilities reduce their environmental impact and save money on utility bills.
