Recent Development• On Feb 22, 2024, Demaco Netherlands BV launched a new range of Cryogenic Valves, enhancing its existing line of manual on/off, pneumatic on/off, and control valves. Key upgrades include a longer body to reduce condensation, Kv values for precise flow control, and a plastic handwheel to prevent frostbite. The valves feature a compact actuator, integrated 24VDC solenoid, and optional limit switches. FDA approval makes them suitable for food industry use. The valves offer various flow rate configurations, ensuring longevity with stainless-steel construction and advanced sealing technology. These new valves gradually replace the current standard range.
• On Aug 22, 2023, Habonim introduced its latest Cryogenic Bi-Directional Floating Ball Valves, expanding its product range for cryogenic applications. Over the past three decades, Habonim has developed high-end cryogenic ball valves for various industries, with recent demand driven by the growing use of Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG). Small Scale LNG (SSLNG) and global LNG trade are experiencing significant growth. The floating ball valve technology offers advantages like higher flow rates, simpler automation, durability, and cost-effectiveness. Previously, unidirectionality due to the ball’s pressure relief hole was a downside, but Habonim’s new design addresses this issue.
