ANSI version

Application
Globe, angle or Y-pattern valve for cryogenic applications
Manual control and on/off service

Valve size NPS 1 to 6

Special features Fig. 1: Left: Type 3588 Y-pattern Valve

The Type 3588 Cryogenic Valve is specially designed to meet with pneumatic piston actuator
the requirements of cryogenic applications. and pipe jacketing (transpar-
ent outline in drawing)
• Globe, angle-style or Y-pattern valve body
• Top-entry design with bolted valve bonnet
• Installation in vacuum-insulated pipelines, air separation
plants, liquefaction process plants and peripheral plants
made possible by a cover plate on the cryogenic exten-
sion bonnet
• Valve maintenance possible without removing it from the
pipeline
• Top entry through the cryogenic extension bonnet allows
easy access to the seat, plug and bellows after removal of
the actuator
• The CV coefficients can be modified in wide ranges by re-
placing the seat and valve plug

Principle of operation
The medium flows through the cryogenic valve in the direction
indicated by the arrow. The position of the valve plug in rela-
tion to the seat determines the flow rate.
The metal bellows seal guarantees that the medium has no di-
rect contact with the packing. The packing to seal the stem to A1
the atmosphere is self-adjusting.
The test connection allows the packing to be monitored for
leakage.
K1
Installation
We recommend mounting the valve at an angle between 15 V5
and 25° to the horizontal plane. Contact SAMSON for small-
er mounting angles as additional measures are required in V7
this case. Bracket or support: see Mounting and Operating In-
structions u EB 8088.
The medium must flow through the valve in the direction indi-
cated by the arrow on the valve body. V6
Fail-safe position
A valve fitted with a pneumatic actuator with springs moves to V5
a fail-safe position when the supply air fails depending on
how the springs are arranged in the pneumatic actuator (see
Data Sheet u T 8310-1 for details):
– Actuator stem extends (FA): when the air supply fails, the
spring force moves the stem downward causing the valve
to close.
– Actuator stem retracts (FE): when the air supply fails, the
spring force moves the stem upwards causing the valve to V4
open.
