Crogenic Trunnion Ball Valve

Cryogenic ball valves 

Cryogenic ball valves designated in highest performance and produced in strictest quality, can meet the highest standard cryogenic service,and wildly applied for safety transportation for processing,storage,shipment and distribution of ethylene,Liquid Nitrogen, Oxygen, LPG, Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) and other low temperature liquefied gases. 

The trunnion mounted ball valve is used for bigger size and higher pressure class,the valve is split body 2 or 3pcs, the material can be forged steel or cast steel,lever and gear operated or actuator type of electric, pneumatic, hydraulic and gas over oil.

● Austenitic Stainless steel -196~-100℃ (ASTM A182 F316/F316L/F304/F304L DUAL GRADE, ASTM A351 CF8M/CF3M,CF8/CF3) FEATURES 

● Packing and gasket material suitable for low temperature 

● Double Block and Bleed Design (DBB) 

● Metal Seated or Soft Seated 

● Double piston effect downstream & upstream – DIB I 

● Double piston effect downstream & single piston effect upstream – DIB II Seat sealing injection 

● Sealing material choose PCTFE -200℃~130℃ 

● All metal parts in contact with low temperature medium need to be cryogenic treated with liquid nitrogen at -196 C degrees before finishing, and the treatment time is normally maintained for 2-3 hours. 

● The cryogenic valves designed with extended stem and water drip pallet in stem.The drip pallet can prevent the water vapor in the air from liquefying and then water flows to the valve surface and freezing, causing valve damage.They are applied to ensure the sealing performance of packing box and normal operation of ball valves . It also reduces the heat transferred from the outside to the inside of the device. 

● Extend stem calculation according to SHELL SPE77/200/BS6364. The extend stem which is related to the thermal conductivity of the material, the thermal conductivity area, the surface heat dissipation coefficient and the heat dissipation area. The extend stem allows enough space for insulation material and ensures the stem packing sound sealed above 0℃. Normally less lower than 50℃ will need extend stem. 

● Body Relief Structure. The LGN gasification generates a high pressure in the valve body, it destroys the ball and valve seat components, so one-way valve is added at the inlet end of the ball to ensure the pressure balance between the cavity and the inlet pipeline and prevent the cavity from abnormally boosting pressure.
