Cyrogenic Valves

Trimteck also designs and manufactures valves with internal surface finishes as fine as 10 microinches and metal bellows seals for ultra-high purity oxygen service, catering to industrial gas producers and their demanding semiconductor customers. Each system presents its own unique challenges, and at Trimteck, we understand that standard solutions often fall short. That's why we offer tailored valve solutions that meet your specific requirements, providing reliability and performance in even the harshest conditions.

Our design process leverages advanced engineering tools, including sophisticated ANSYS Finite Element Analysis (FEA) and Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) modeling. These technologies allow us to simulate real-world conditions, ensuring that each valve is perfectly suited for its intended service. By analyzing stress points, flow patterns, and temperature variations within the valve, we can design with confidence, optimizing each component for performance and durability. Whether it’s a valve for handling highly corrosive substances, extreme pressures, or abrasive materials, our design process ensures that the product will meet or exceed your operational demands.

Applications

We can customize a range of valve types for your cryogenic valve applications, including globe, angle, 3-way, V-notch ball, eccentric plug, trunnion ball, and butterfly. Key applications include:

• Energy production and LNG processing Managing the liquefaction, storage, and regasification of LNG requires robust cryogenic valves to ensure the flow of LNG is controlled accurately.
• Industrial gas production In air separation plants, or ASUs, these cryogenic control valves regulate the production of gases like nitrogen and oxygen, maintaining flow and pressure during the liquefaction process.
• Scientific research Cryogenic control valves are vital in labs where low-temperature conditions are necessary for experiments, including the study of superconductors.
• Food and beverage industry These valves are used for freeze-drying and cooling processes, preserving the quality and safety of food products.
• Steel manufacturing The treatment of certain steel grades requires extreme cooling, where cryogenic valves ensure the process's efficiency and safety.
• Chemical and petrochemical processing Handling and processing chemicals like ethylene and propylene at low temperatures are facilitated by specialized valves.
• Aerospace engineering For rocket fuel systems, controlling the flow of liquid oxygen and hydrogen is mission-critical.
• Medical operations Cryogenic control valves are essential for maintaining the low temperatures required for storing and handling cryogenically preserved biological materials. They ensure that the necessary cold conditions are consistently upheld.
