Cryogenic Gate Valves Manufacturers in India
At Speciality Valve we are a known name in the field of cryogenic gate valves manufacturers in India

Cryogenics have their own set of valve requirements which we design to function in very low temperatures and at the same time provide reliableseal and control of flow. In the field of cryogenic gate valves which we see today are very much used in LNG, petrochemical, air separation and space research industries. At Speciality Valve we are a known name in the field of cryogenic gate valves manufacturers in India, we offer high performance solutions that we have engineered for accurate and durable performance in extreme low temperature environments.

What are Cryogenic Gate Valves?

A cryogenic gate valve is a kind of gate valve that is designed for use in very low temperature settings which include from –50°C to –196°C. In the storage, processing, and transport of cryogenic fluids like liquid oxygen, liquid nitrogen, liquefied hydrogen and LNG these valves are used.

Unlike what we see in standard gate valves, cryogenic gate valves have been designed with extended bonnets which in turn keep the stem packing away from the cold media, we thus see very reliable sealing and also see prevention of frost damage. Also in terms of design they perform very well in very low temperature conditions.

Components of Cryogenic Gate Valves

Cryogenic gate valves are made of special materials and designed with features that stand up to the tests of cryogenic service. We see in:

  • Body and Frame made of stainless steel or special alloys which resist low temperature embrittlement.
  • Gate/Plug - which moves at right angles to the flow to control fluid passage.
  • Stem - Connects the actuator or handwheel to the gate, which in turn enables movement.
  • Extended Bonnet which keeps out cryogenic fluids.
  • Seat Rings which provide tight shut off against the gate and prevent leakage.
  • At very low temperatures our solution for stem sealing performs.
  • Handwheel/Actuator manual or automated device for valve operation.

These components which are engineered for performance in low temperature environments which have high demand.

Functions of Cryogenic Gate Valves

  • Cryogenic gate valves are used to:
  • On On/Off Isolation we provide for cryogenic fluids a completely sealed shutoff.
  • Prevent backflow and failure in critical systems.
  • Cryotolerance perform well at very low temps without failure.
  • Safety Ensure integrity of LNG, oxygen, and hydrogen storage and transfer systems.
  • System Protection to prevent contamination and damage in pipelines and processing equipment.

Advantages of Cryogenic Gate Valves

Using low temperature gate valves we have that which of:

  1. Superior Seal outperforms in that it delivers zero leak which is of great importance in cryogenic applications.
  2. Extended Bonnet design - which protects stem packing from cryogenic damage.
  3. Durable against low temperature embrittlement and thermal shock.
  4. High Pressure and Temperature - we have what you need for the LNG and petrochemical fields.
  5. Compliance to International Standards we are API, ASME, and BS compliant which in turn guarantees safety and reliability.
  6. Versatility we have designed this to handle a large range of cryogenic fluids from oxygen to liquefied natural gas.

These features which also include in very large scale these cryogenic valves’ use in extreme conditions make them in very large scale in which we see put into practice what we wish for in terms of efficiency and safety.

Applications of Cryogenic Gate Valves

Cryogenic control valves are used in many sectors:

  1. LNG Terminals and Plants For safe storage, transport, and distribution.
  2. Air Separation Plants (ASP) Producing liquid oxygen, nitrogen, and argon.
  3. Petroleum Industry Transportation of liquefied gases.
  4. Space Research and Aerospace liquid fueled systems of hydrogen and oxygen.
  5. In Pharmaceutical field we see use of cryogenic freezing and preservation.

Cryogenic Gate Valves vs Cryogenic Ball Valves

In low temperature applications both cryogenic gate valves and cryogenic ball valves are applied but they serve different functions which depend on the system requirements.

Feature

Cryogenic Gate Valve

Cryogenic Ball Valve

Design

Linear motion with a rising stem and gate disc

Quarter-turn with a spherical ball closure

Function

On-off isolation for tight shutoff

Quick operation and flow regulation

Operation Speed

Slower opening and closing

Fast operation with 90° turn

Sealing

Excellent bubble-tight shutoff for isolation

Good sealing, suitable for frequent operation

Applications

Long-term isolation in LNG pipelines, ASUs, petrochemical plants

Transfer lines, frequent operation systems, cryogenic pumps

Size Range

Suitable for medium to large-diameter pipelines

Suitable for small to medium-diameter pipelines

In summary, cryogenic gate valves are preferred for tight shutoff and long-term isolation, while cryogenic ball valves are better for frequent operation and quick shutoff needs.
