Product Overview
III. Structural Design & Features
- Cryogenic Optimization
- Extended stem (protrusion ≥150mm) isolates cold media from operation mechanism, preventing frosting.
- Fiberglass thermal gasket between bonnet and body reduces heat transfer by 60%, minimizing cold loss.
- Bevel Gear Drive Benefits
- 2:1 gear ratio reduces DN300 valve torque from 280N·m to 85N·m, enabling single-hand operation.
- Gearbox with lithium-based grease (-50°C to 120°C) extends maintenance cycle to 24 months.
- Reliable Sealing
- Double-eccentric gate-seat design self-laps sealing surfaces, compensating for ≤0.3mm wear.
- V-type graphite packing + bellows dual sealing ensures zero leakage at 1.1x working pressure.
IV. Manufacturing & Quality Control
- Cryogenic Material Treatment
- Cast steel normalized at 920°C + tempered at 650°C, impact energy ≥27J at -40°C (Charpy V-notch).
- STL6 overlay on seats aged at 500°C to eliminate stress, hardness HRC58-62.
- Precision Machining
- Lost foam casting for body, dimension tolerance ≤±0.8mm, surface roughness Ra≤12.5μm.
- Bevel gears with ISO 8 class meshing, carburized and quenched (case depth 0.8-1.2mm).
- Cryogenic Testing
- Cryogenic treatment: -196°C liquid nitrogen immersion for 24h to detect intergranular corrosion.
- Pressure cycling: 1,000 cycles at -46°C with no sealing degradation.
Valve Details
V. Core Advantages
- Multi-Scenario Cryogenic Adaptability
- LNG terminals: -162°C LNG cutoff, LCB + nickel-based seals meet API 6A.
- Air separation: -196°C LOX lines, anti-static design (ground resistance ≤10Ω) prevents sparks.
- Chemical cryogenic pipes: -46°C ethylene, erosion-resistant seals last 3x longer than standard valves.
- Full-Life Cost Optimization
- Replaceable seat design reduces on-site maintenance costs by 50%.
- Gearbox maintenance-free design saves $800/year per DN200 valve.
- Global Certification Support
- CE/PED 2014/68/EU certified, registered for GOST R.
- Provides API 6D, ISO 5208 test reports, supports third-party inspection.
Application
VI. Applications & Cases
- LNG storage project: DN400 PN40 valve in BOG line operated leak-free for 4 years at -162°C, torque stable at 120N·m.
- Air separation unit: DN150 valve controls liquid argon, extended stem keeps operation layer at 23°C.
- Chemical ethylene plant: DN250 valve at -101°C shows 0.1mm/year seat wear, > industry average.
VII. Customization Options
- Material Upgrades
- Ultra-cryogenic: 304L SS (-196°C), Monel 400 (-253°C).
- H2S-resistant: NACE MR0175 certified materials (e.g., 13Cr steel).
- Functional Enhancements
- Fire-safe design: Complies with API 6FA, maintains sealing for 30min during fires.
- Remote monitoring: Adds valve position transmitter (4-20mA) and explosion-proof limit switches.
- Special Interfaces
- Butt-weld (BW): ASME B16.25 for high-pressure cryogenic pipes.
- Vacuum insulation: Multi-layer insulation blankets, cold loss ≤0.5W/m.
VIII. Installation & Maintenance
- Cryogenic installation: Install vertically, use low-temp alloy bolts (e.g., 35CrMoA), torque per ASME PCC-1.
- Routine maintenance: Check gearbox oil level every 6 months, use silicone grease below -40°C.
- Troubleshooting: Cold leaks often at packing, adjust gland bolts (torque increase ≤15%) online.
