As hydrogen continues to increase in popularity, a particular focus is finding valves and components that are tough enough to stand up to hydrogen. By affecting the electrochemical kinetics of certain metals, hydrogen can cause pitting and acceleration of the rate of inter-granular corrosion of high-strength steels, titanium alloys and aluminum alloys, which are the most vulnerable metals. Additionally, the interaction of hydrogen and stress can result in escalated stress-corrosion cracking susceptibility of steel, particularly in welded joints.

Hydrogen is the most common chemical element in the universe, and is rapidly becoming more and more important in the sustainable energy supply. This increased demand, coupled with the stringent requirements for conversion and use, makes quality, safety and security of the utmost importance. Herose’s high-performance FullX hydrogen valves are the standout in the industry across the full range of hydrogen applications:

The extremely low temperatures that cryogenic systems operate under causes materials to become brittle and more susceptible to damage. Any foreign particles such as dirt, dust or even water vapor can damage the system by scratching or abrading components. That, in turn, leads to leaks that can release cryogenic fluids and cause life-threatening situations.

Positive displacement systems can be found across a broad range of industries where accurate and precise fluid or gas transfer or pumping is imperative. In the simplest of terms, a positive displacement system displaces a specific quantity of liquid for every revolution or cycle that a pump completes. The flow rate is directly proportional to the speed and number of pump cycles over a given time.

The best way to keep customers happy? Ensure their cryogenic systems are working smoothly, efficiently, and without downtime. Herose’s low-temperature strainer valve helps you do just that, by trapping particulates and debris and preventing them from wreaking havoc downstream. This strainer is an ideal solution for bulk and micro-bulk tank systems to remove contaminants during the liquid to gas process.

Gone are the days when it took a box wrench to open and close a fill plant master valve, when the end of the day meant a sore hand and wrist from forcibly operating valves. The newly designed Generant High Pressure Master Valve takes that struggle away. Designed for the tough requirements of cylinder fill plants, manifold and piping system applications, the MV series valves are the best in the industry.
