Cryogenic gate valves are specifically designed to operate at extremely low temperatures, typically ranging from -50 C to -273°C. They are used in various applications where maintaining the integrity of the flow at such low temperatures is crucial. Here are some common applications:
Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) Industry: These valves are essential in LNG production, storage, and transportation facilities to control the flow of liquefied gases.
Industrial Gas Production: They are used in the production and handling of industrial gases like liquid oxygen, nitrogen, and helium.
Aerospace: Cryogenic gate valves are employed in aerospace applications, including rocket propulsion systems, where they manage the flow of cryogenic fuels.
Medical and Research Facilities: These valves are used in facilities that handle cryogenic liquids for medical purposes, such as MRI machines, and in research applications like superconductivity and particle accelerators.
Nuclear and Fusion Energy: They are also used in nuclear power plants and experimental fusion reactors to control cryogenic fluids.
Cryogenic gate valves are chosen for these applications due to their ability to provide a tight seal and reliable operation under extreme conditions.
We supply small size Cryogenic Gate valves designed toAPI/ASME standards, These valves are extended bonnet, bonnet extension locates the operating mechanism and packing away from the cold media in the gate, globe, butterfly or ball valve.
