MBI supplies and supports all types of cryogenic piping, hose, couplers, valves and related items.
Foam Insulated Piping and Copper Piping
This cost-effective method of insulating the cryogenic lines saves valuable energy.
Vacuum Insulated Piping
A highly efficient insulation system. The vacuum provides one of the best insulation methods currently known – saving money and improving efficiency.
Cryogenic Valves
Cryogenic fluids expand several hundred times in volume as heat is absorbed and liquid converted to gas. Only cryogenic rated valves should be used with cryogenic gases.
Piping and Valving Tips
- Every area between two closable valves or solenoids must be provided with a suitable pressure relief valve. The pressure relief valve installed inside of enclosed spaces should be vented to the outside atmosphere.
- Most solenoids require a minor pressure drop to function. Oversizing of solenoids can cause erratic or unreliable behavior.
- Double sealing valves must be drilled to prevent liquid from becoming trapped within the valve.
- Oxygen service requires a special cleaning process to remove all trace elements of oil or contamination. Items that would not burn in air may easily burn in the presence of elevated oxygen concentrations. Do not attempt to service oxygen systems without proper training.
