FAQ's of REGO Stainless Steel Globe Valve for Cryogenic Service 210 Series:
Q: How is the REGO 210 Series Globe Valve suitable for cryogenic applications?
A: The REGO 210 Series Globe Valve is expertly engineered with 316L stainless steel, low emission PTFE packing, and an extended bonnet to minimize thermal transfer, making it exceptionally well-suited for ultra-low temperatures down to -196C. Its bubble-tight sealing prevents leakage, essential for safely managing liquefied gases in cryogenic environments.
Q: What are the installation options for this globe valve?
A: The valve offers versatile installation possibilities. It supports vertical or horizontal mounting positions and various end connections, including socket weld, butt weld, and both NPT or BSPT threaded types, making it easy to adapt to diverse piping systems in industrial or medical gas facilities.
Q: When should the valve be serviced?
A: Routine servicing is recommended in accordance with system usage and operational demands. Because the valve is designed for in-line serviceability, you can maintain or replace components such as seals and packing without detaching the valve from the pipeline, minimizing downtime and facilitating quick maintenance cycles.
Q: Where is this globe valve most effectively used?
A: Primary application areas include industrial gas distribution, medical gas systems, LNG distribution networks, and chemical processing facilities. Its construction is particularly advantageous in settings requiring reliable performance under cryogenic conditions and stringent leak prevention.
Q: What is the process for maintaining this valve?
A: Maintenance involves shutting off the flow, relieving pressure from the system, and then servicing the valve in its installed position. Components like the handwheel, packing, or disc can be replaced onsite. The design simplifies internal inspections and seal upgrades, and spare parts are readily available from suppliers.
Q: How does the design benefit system performance and longevity?
A: The full bore design reduces pressure drop, ensuring efficient media flow, while rugged stainless steel construction and advanced sealing systems provide a long service life, even in harsh cryogenic environments. This results in fewer replacements, lower maintenance costs, and consistently safe operation.
