What are the Types of Cryogenic Safety Relief Valves?

 


The cryogenic and industrial gas industries have made significant progress in recent years with the goal of keeping liquefied gases colder for longer periods of time. This has allowed the transportation and storage of a larger amount of these elements in a liquefied state. However, the storage tanks may occasionally be exposed to heat from their surroundings, causing the temperature inside the tank to increase to the point where some of the liquefied gas evaporates and reverts to a gaseous condition.


In such a situation, Cryogenic Safety Relief Valves play an essential role in handling pressure rise because of the bog. However, they come in a wide variety, so you need to choose one that suits your requirement. If you want to know about its type, look out below: 

Cryogenic Ball Valves: It comes with a ball and a Polytetrafluoroethylene body. They perform excellently when a tight shut-off is required in multiple applications. Moreover, they can be used for applications in which an unrestricted flow path is necessary.

Globe Valves: They are named because of their spherical shape and contain a movable disk internally that rotates at an angle of 90 degrees to the plane of its body seat. These offer greater reliability for long-term sealing performance. 

Gate Valves: These are swings to close in line with the mating body seat. Even when fully open, they result in minor pressure decrease. Similar to the ball valves, they provide good flow features. 

Butterfly Valves: These are typically sued when instant opening and closing actions are necessary. Moreover, these are lighter and cheaper too, with the simplicity of operation. Hence, it is good to use such devices for industrial applications. 

These are a few types of Cryogenic Safety Relief Valves, and each has a different characteristic. So, choose an option that meets your requirement as well as your budget.
