Cryogenic Valve

Cryogenic Valve

African Valve is a trusted Cryogenic Valve Manufacturer in Libya, delivering high-performance valves designed for ultra-low temperature applications down to -196°C. Our cryogenic valves ensure leak-proof operation in LNG terminals, liquid oxygen storage, and nitrogen distribution lines. Built with extended bonnets and low-temperature-compatible materials, these valves guarantee safe, efficient performance even under extreme cold and high-pressure service conditions.

Function & Working

Cryogenic valves regulate or isolate the flow of liquefied gases stored at cryogenic temperatures. The extended stem design insulates the actuator and packing from freezing temperatures, ensuring smooth actuation and preventing frost buildup. These valves offer precise sealing and long-term durability in sub-zero environments.
