A lot can go wrong, and fast, when a cryogenic system has a problem. Whether it’s abnormally cold temperatures, abnormally high draw rates, or any disruption or failure with equipment downstream, the situation becomes dangerous for personnel and equipment. Recognizing the need for a failsafe safety device, Generant developed the LTAP.

RPV stands for Residual Pressure Valve, and it’s a vital component for maintaining positive pressure within a cylinder or tank. RPVs are considered safety devices because they prevent contaminants from entering the cylinder and interfering with the flow of CO2.

Choosing the right cryogenic valve comes down to a handful of considerations, each of which narrows the choices so that you find the right valve for your application. Because cryogenic liquids (nitrogen, oxygen, helium and hydrogen) are stored at extremely low temperatures (typically -150C / -238F or lower), you need valves designed to function properly at those low temperatures. Below are the top considerations for choosing a valve:
