  1. Main Features
  • Cryogenic Service Design: Extended bonnet (stem extension) isolates the stem packing from the cryogenic fluid, preventing ice formation and ensuring proper packing function at low temperatures.
  • 2-Piece Body Construction: Compact design with bolted body joint for easy maintenance. The end cap can be removed to access internal components.
  • Floating Ball Design: Under pressure, the ball shifts against the downstream seat, providing reliable shut-off.
  • F304 Stainless Steel: Offers good corrosion resistance and low-temperature toughness, suitable for a wide range of cryogenic media.
  • PCTFE / PEEK Seats: Provides excellent low-temperature sealing performance with enhanced wear resistance and dimensional stability at cryogenic temperatures.
  • Anti-Static Device: Ensures electrical continuity between ball, stem, and body to prevent static charge buildup.
  • Blowout-Proof Stem: Stem is designed to prevent ejection under pressure.
  • Purge Port (Optional): Provisions for back-venting or purge connections available for safety in oxygen or hazardous services.

  1. Cryogenic Service Considerations

Consideration

Requirement

Material Toughness

Materials must pass Charpy impact tests at service temperature (e.g., –196°C for F304)

Extended Bonnet

Minimum height ensures packing temperature remains above freezing point of moisture in the air

Seat Material

PCTFE or PEEK required for reliable low-temperature sealing; PTFE is not recommended due to cold flow

Leakage Rate

Cryogenic valves typically require bubble‑tight shut‑off (helium leak testing often specified)

Thermal Cycling

Valve design must accommodate thermal contraction and expansion without loss of sealing

Packing

Low‑temperature packing (e.g., PCTFE or PTFE) must be used to maintain seal flexibility

Antiestático

Essential to prevent static discharge in flammable cryogenic services

  1. Operating Guidelines
  • Orientation: Typically installed with stem vertical; extended bonnet ensures packing remains at safe temperature.
  • Thermal Conditioning: Before introducing cryogenic fluid, the valve should be slowly conditioned to avoid thermal shock.
  • Operação: Handwheel operation may become stiff at cryogenic temperatures due to ice formation on the extended bonnet; this is normal and does not indicate packing failure.
  • Maintenance: Extended bonnet valves allow packing replacement without removing the valve from the line, as the packing is located above the thermal isolation zone.
  1. Typical Applications
  • LNG Infrastructure: Liquefied natural gas receiving terminals, loading arms, vaporizers, and storage tanks.
  • Air Separation Units (ASU): Liquid oxygen, liquid nitrogen, and liquid argon handling.
  • Petrochemical: Ethylene and propylene plants with cryogenic processes.
  • Cold Boxes: Cryogenic process modules in gas processing facilities.
  • Food & Beverage: Liquid CO₂ and nitrogen freezing systems.
  • Medical: Liquid oxygen and nitrogen storage and distribution.
