Applications : Cryogenic Transportation

Bestobell has over 40 years' experience in cryogenics for transportation

Bestobell produce a range of cryogenic valves ideally suited to use on cryogenic trailers.  As a result many of the world’s largest cryogenic trailer builders specify Bestobell.

The development of our bolted bonnet range of products for the globe and gate valves has enabled the mounting and servicing of trailers to be carried out rapidly and efficiently, without the difficulties normally encountered when working in enclosed environments. The development of a new standard stem using a re-designed gland packing assembly removes any leakage issues, and also reduces the operating torque to open – close valves.

Stainless Steel Globe Valves

A vast range of high performance globe valves are available from Bestobell, in either bolted or union bonnet forms. The customer is able to choose from a variety options including cone or flat seat, bronze or stainless steel, and a variety of end fittings.

All globe valves feature Bestobell’s unique headworks design for smooth operation, reduced closing torque and extended leak-free life. 

Extended spindle valves are available for liquid service, along with standard spindle lengths for use on ambient gas requirements. All materials used are selected for their suitability to function at cryogenic temperatures. All valves are degreased for oxygen duty.

Stainless Steel Gate Valves

Both manual and actuated design. The seat sealing ring is removable and lifts out with the headwork allowing the system to be flushed out when commissioning, therefore debris/metal particles do not damage the seat face in the body.

This design eliminates the risk of ever needing to cut out the body from a pipeline once it has been welded in place.  

Relief Valves

Stainless steel relief valves available in size DN 15, operating over -200°C to +65°C. TUV approved

Thermal Relief Valves

A compact stainless steel relief valve designed to prevent damage to piping and equipment caused by the expansion of liquefied gases

Ball Valves

A range of three-piece ball valves designed specifically for cryogenic operation
