Low Temperature Gate Valve

Definition: A gate valve specifically designed for low-temperature media (usually -40 ° C to -196 ° C), with a gate valve as its opening and closing member, moving perpendicular to the fluid direction, only supporting fully open or fully closed operations, and cannot be used for flow regulation.


Core features:

Low temperature adaptability: The valve body is made of stainless steel or LCB, LC3 and other low-temperature materials, and undergoes low-temperature impact testing to avoid brittle fracture;

Long neck valve cover design: Extend the neck of the valve cover to ensure that the temperature of the packing box is above 0 ℃, preventing freezing and sealing failure;

Anti abnormal pressure rise structure: A pressure relief hole is installed on the inlet side of the gate to prevent abnormal pressure rise in the valve chamber due to medium vaporization;

Full bore flow channel: with low fluid resistance, suitable for high-purity or easily vaporized media such as liquid nitrogen, liquid natural gas (LNG), ethylene, etc.


Typical applications: Ultra low temperature industrial pipeline systems such as liquefied natural gas storage and transportation, air separation equipment, and liquid oxygen/liquid nitrogen transportation.

Modular maintenance and quality control
  • 01
    Modular maintenance and quality control
    Support quick disassembly and online maintenance, seal replacement does not require overall disassembly; Strictly control the chemical composition and low-temperature impact toughness indicators of materials to extend their service life.
Effortless operation and optimized anti freezing measures
  • Effortless operation and optimized anti freezing measures
    01
    Long axis design reduces operating torque and supports manual/electric/pneumatic drive; The exposed part of the valve stem is protected against freezing to ensure flexible opening and closing in low-temperature environments.
Compact structure and lightweight design
  • Compact structure and lightweight design
    01
    The valve body has a short structure, light weight (20% -30% lighter than traditional valves), good manufacturing process, and is easy to install and maintain.
Elastic gate and dual sealing technology
  • Elastic gate and dual sealing technology
    01
    The elastic gate can compensate for machining deviations with minimal deformation, and combined with precision machined metal sealing surfaces or PTFE coatings, it achieves reliable sealing under low temperature conditions.
Full diameter low flow resistance channel
  • Full diameter low flow resistance channel
    01
    The fully circular channel design reduces fluid resistance and avoids medium accumulation, especially suitable for transporting high-purity low-temperature fluids such as liquefied natural gas and ethylene.
Pressure relief hole and pressure balance structure
  • Pressure relief hole and pressure balance structure
    01
    A pressure relief hole is installed on the inlet side of the gate to prevent abnormal pressure rise in the valve chamber due to medium vaporization, ensuring the safety of the valve in easily vaporized media such as liquid nitrogen and LNG.
Low temperature resistant materials and long neck valve cover design
  • Low temperature resistant materials and long neck valve cover design
    01
    Using low-temperature steel such as stainless steel and LCB, prevent brittle fracture through low-temperature impact testing; The long neck valve cover extends the distance between the valve stem and the medium, reduces heat conduction, ensures that the temperature of the packing box is above 0 ℃, and avoids freezing failure.
