Results for tag: "Cryogenic Control Valves"

Within the broader valves industry, Cryogenic Control Valves represent a specialized category designed to operate effectively at extremely low temperatures, often below -150°C (-238°F). These valves are crucial for the control of flow and pressure in applications dealing with liquified gases such as liquid nitrogen, oxygen, argon, LNG (liquefied natural gas), and other cryogenic fluids. The materials and technology employed in cryogenic control valves must allow for tight sealing and insulation to prevent leakage and minimize the thermal exchange. Industries that widely make use of these valves include aerospace, energy production, gas processing, and medical fields where cryogenic fluids are regularly handled. Apart from the temperature-specific design, cryogenic control valves also incorporate features to withstand the pressure changes and potential thermal shocks that are inherent with storing and handling liquified gases. The demand for these valves is deeply intertwined with the advancement and operational needs of industries that rely on cryogenic technology. As such, they contribute a focused yet vital function within the much larger valve manufacturing market. Some notable companies in the cryogenic control valves market include Emerson Electric Co., Flowserve Corporation, Parker Hannifin Corp, Weir Group PLC, and Schlumberger Limited. Each of these companies specializes in the production of industrial valves, with a portfolio that includes solutions for cryogenic applications. Show Less Read more
