ESBE’S FLOWMASTER NOMINATED FOR 2022 INNOVATION OF THE YEAR AWARD

The Innovation of the Year Award in Jönköping County is awarded by Almi and Science Park to an individual or company that has developed a creative and innovative service or product. It should also be commercially viable or create great social benefit.

ESBE has been nominated for the FlowMaster motorized valve, which is a double-regulating mid-position diverting valve for high flows.
To save energy in future heat pumps and increase user comfort, ESBE’s Development department has invented a new type of valve with associated actuator (motorized valve). The functions from two traditional control units are integrated into a single product, a motorized valve. 
The motorized valve has accurate control and a soft-sealing shoe.
When any port in the valve is fully open, the others are completely closed, and water with a precise temperature can be supplied to the customer’s taps, underfloor heating, and radiator system.
The valve also has a high flow rate, which creates great opportunities for using it in both heating and cooling applications.
FlowMaster, with its compact size, precision and interaction in heating and cooling applications, is completely unique. 
- “It feels great and to be nominated,” says Jonas Davidsson, Development Engineer at ESBE in Reftele and the person responsible for FlowMaster.
“The holistic approach to building a product from scratch in the Development department and the importance of high product know-how are things that our customers demand. We develop the products for mass production, which is a great advantage to incorporate early in the process because it cuts costs for the customer and makes the product better. Our incredibly competent team in the Development department worked well together to develop an actuator of the highest class. We look forward to working on additional products that contribute to a more sustainable society, a greener Europe.”
