IIR document

Compact cryogenic valves for liquefied hydrogen fuelled cars.

Author(s) : BRÜTSCH D., HOLDENER F.

Summary

Based on long-term experience, WEKA has developed a compact valve with an integrated pneumatic actuator for extremely low-temperature applications. Due to the compact design, these valves are preferred for mobile use. The valves can handle a temperature gradient of over 250 degrees and guarantee perfect tightness over the whole temperature range. To prevent freezing at the warm end of the valve, WEKA designed a compound spindle of extremely low heat load, made in composite material. For further compactness, a valve block design will be developed.
