CX valve
Superior with hydrogen and light gases
HOERBIGER has developed a special valve for hydrogen and other light gases (molar weight < 8kg/kMol) which works reliably and efficiently under extreme conditions.
- Convex ring and conical seat profiles resist oil-sticktion problems
- No problems on start-up
- MC rings exhibit high impact durability, have low thermal expansion and good chemical resistance which provide extremely high lifetime and considerable reduction of seat wear
- Suitable for extreme stress
- Shallow surface sealing angle and contoured sealing surface gives excellent flow geometry that is optimized for low lift applications
- Robust springs are this valve's secret to long life
- CX is a perfect balance between efficiency and durability
HOERBIGER's experience working with countless hydrogen applications demonstrates this valve's value in its ability to out last others: Run times exceeding 12,000 hours.
HOERBIGER offers hydrogen compressor operators a valve that perfectly meets their demands - an extremely reliable valve that offers the highest availability at optimum efficiency.
