In the production plant of Kuhn Champignons AG, seven to eight tons of mushrooms produced daily. To accelerate the growth, an artificial "autumn climate" is created. Under the ideal temperature and humidity, the mushrooms grow, ripen and become ready for harvest within three weeks.
But after 30 years, the existing plant and hydraulics were obsolete and no longer met the current standards of sustainable production. The entire plant needed updating.
After 30 years, the existing plant and hydraulics were obsolete and no longer met the current standards of sustainable production. The entire plant needed updating. Energy saving was the main objective for the new production plant. Additional requirements were constant temperature and humidity in the production for the optimal growth of mushrooms and the ability to switch to variable amounts of water to be able to react according to the season and demand. Reliable and innovative products that contribute to energy saving.
The advanced butterfly valve assembly fulfills the task of dissipating the heat within the plant, which means the warm water will be pumped into the ground water for cooling again. This is a daily occurrence. The butterfly valve assembly was easy to install because of its lower height and reduced weight. The advantage of the hand crank if the need arises to switch the system to manual operation. The biggest benefit is 80% energy savings. The advanced butterfly also guaranteed reliable operation through intelligent self-adjusting valve design Near Field Communication(NFC) along with BACnet communication provide superior application data access for easy troubleshooting, commissioning, and programming.
The innovative advanced butterfly valve was installed in the new plant of Kuhn Champignon AG in March 2016 and has been running flawlessly. The advanced butterfly valve is the most intelligent, energy efficient, and reliable high flow solution in the HVAC market. With a focus on ease of installation, application flexibility, and longevity, this series set new performance standards.
