Emerson Debuts Cryogenic Valve for LNG, Hydrogen Applications

Emerson has introduced a new cryogenic control valve designed to reduce leakage and energy loss in LNG, hydrogen and air separation applications.

(P&GJ) — Emerson has introduced a cryogenic control valve designed to improve performance and reduce emissions in LNG, hydrogen and air separation applications.

The Fisher IC2 valve is built for use in cold box systems, where equipment operates at extremely low temperatures. The valve is designed to function in environments as cold as minus 452 degrees Fahrenheit (minus 269 degrees Celsius).

Emerson said the valve incorporates design features that limit heat transfer and reduce energy loss, helping maintain process temperatures while lowering operating costs. It also includes sealing components intended to minimize leakage and meet U.S. emissions standards.

The valve is available in sizes ranging from 1 to 4 inches and is rated for high-pressure service. It is designed for easier maintenance, with a top-entry configuration and replaceable internal components.
