Trunnion Mount Valves

Trunnion mount valves are a type of industrial valve used to control the flow of fluids, such as liquids, gases, and slurries, in high-pressure systems. The term "trunnion mount" refers to how the valve mounts on a trunnion, a cylindrical projection that serves as a pivot point for the valve.

The valve body is typically made of metal, such as cast iron, steel, or stainless steel, and may be lined with materials such as PTFE or rubber to improve corrosion resistance and reduce wear. The valve stem, the part of the valve that rotates to open and close the valve, is also usually made of high-strength metal.

One of the most common uses of trunnion mount valves is in oil and gas production and transportation. These valves are often used in pipelines to control the flow of crude oil, natural gas, and other hydrocarbons. They are also commonly used in chemical plants, power plants, and other industrial facilities to control the flow of fluids in high-pressure systems.

Due to the need for tight shutoff and precise flow control, trunnion mount valves are typically used in high-pressure systems operating at 600 psi or higher pressures. They are also designed to handle high-pressure differential applications and are operated manually, pneumatically, or electrically.

Habonim designs and manufactures high-pressure ball valves and valve automation packages specially built for safety, endurance, and reliability to cover gases and fluids control up to 1,000 bar (15,000psi). 

The Habonim valve series is for harsh conditions in oil & gas and petrochemical industries, for underground and above-ground installation. Its robust design can withstand heavy loads from large sizes, high pressures, and dynamic temperature cycles. 

The trunnion valve series is certified to API 6D (Habonim monogram #6D-1278) with a valve wall thickness that is in full compliance with ANSI B16.34. The trunnion valve line withstands the maximum differential pressure rating specified by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI). The product range offers a range of end connectors, providing design flexibility and customized to meet each customer's specific needs and preferences.

Cryogenic Ball Valves

Cryogenic ball valves are a type of valve that is designed to function at extremely low temperatures, typically below -150°C. They are used in a variety of applications where low temperature fluids need to be controlled, such as in the storage, transport, and processing of cryogenic gases, such as liquid nitrogen, oxygen, and argon.

Cryogenic ball valves are equipped with special materials and features that enable them to operate effectively at such low temperatures. For example, the body of the valve may be made from materials such as stainless steel or aluminum that have low temperature properties, and the valve may be equipped with a special insulation material to prevent heat transfer from the environment to the valve. The ball and seat of the valve may also be made from materials such as tungsten carbide or ceramic that can withstand extreme cold and wear.

Cryogenic ball valves are used in a variety of industries, including chemical, petrochemical, oil and gas, and food processing. They are commonly found in cryogenic storage tanks, pipelines, and processing equipment. They are also used in research and development facilities, medical facilities, and other industrial settings where low temperature fluids need to be controlled.

Cryogenic ball valves are used in a variety of applications that involve the handling of materials at extremely low temperatures. Some common applications for cryogenic ball valves include:

• LNG (Liquefied Natural Gas) storage and transfer: Cryogenic ball valves are used to control the flow of LNG in storage tanks and transfer lines.
• Cryogenic tanks and vessels: Cryogenic ball valves are used to control the flow of cryogenic fluids in tanks and vessels used for storage and transportation.
• Refrigeration and air conditioning: Cryogenic ball valves are used in refrigeration and air conditioning systems to control the flow of refrigerants and other coolants.
• Industrial gases: Cryogenic ball valves are used in the production, storage, and distribution of industrial gases such as oxygen, nitrogen, and argon.
• Chemical and petrochemical processing: Cryogenic ball valves are used in the production and transportation of chemical and petrochemical products that require low temperatures for processing or storage.

HABONIM 50 Series Top Entry Cryogenic Ball Valves

Due to its unique one-piece body structure, the HABONIM Series 50 Top Entry Valve is the ultimate answer for pipeline integrity on the one hand and inline serviceability on the other. 

The 50 Series of HABONIM bidirectional top entry cryogenic ball valves are a modern adaption of a trunnion ball valve with top entry construction and patent-pending new design elements. 

The main challenge for an assembly or maintenance team with a standard top entry valve is usually the complexity of assembly and disassembly of the valve inner parts, the time-consuming operation, and the requirement for special equipment and jigs. 

All of these problems are addressed and solved by HABONIM's Series 50 top entry valve design. 

Upon removing the valve bonnet screws, the crew has immediate access to the valve's interior parts, allowing for thorough maintenance and replacement of all inner components and sealing. This one-of-a-kind design provides for complete valve renovation inline without the need to remove any insulation pieces.

One Double Piston Effect (DPE) dynamic seat is used in the patent-pending design, allowing bidirectional sealing under the full differential and a relatively simple design with few parts and no closed cavities. These qualities provide all of the advantages of a ball valve's high flow (Cv) with no restriction on flow direction or sealing, as well as a safer cryogenic construction. 

When installed, a patent-pending supplementary optional body extender raises the valve's bonnet above piping insulation, allowing the valve to be maintained without removing the insulation or without special valve insulation boxes. 

The valve's revolutionary design allows for quick inline serviceability with minimal effort and inexpensive equipment for valve dismantling, replacement, and reassembly.

The COMPACT Quarter-turn Rack and Pinion Pneumatic Actuator

The Habonim COMPACT actuator is a quarter-turn rack and pinion pneumatic actuator that doubles the torque of conventional pneumatic actuators. Habonim's patented four piston design, which generates torque around a centrally located piston, is responsible for superior performance, translating to double the power for the same size actuator or half the size for the same power. 

The COMPACT has four small cylinders, one on each of the cube's four sides. The smaller pinion and minimized travel distance of the pistons in the COMPACT require less air pressure to produce the same torque output as a larger double piston actuator. As a result, there's a reduction in emergency shutdown response, air consumption during operation, and maintenance.  Habonim's unique quarter-turn COMPACT actuators have the superior performance of twice the torque per size, much longer cycling before any care, high opening and closing speed, and exceptional durability in the most demanding industrial environments. 

STANDARD ACTUATOR FEATURES

NAMUR & ISO interface

A wide range of accessories such as solenoids, positioners, and limit switches are available for direct mounting to the COMPACT actuator, and any accessory with ISO 5211 and VDI/VDE 3845 (NAMUR) will mount to the actuator. 

NAMUR VDI/VDE 3845

This standard specifies various accessories with VDI/VDE interfaces, such as limit switches, pucks, indicators, and positioners, with simple mounting onto the actuator top face. 

NAMUR solenoid mounting

One of the four actuator covers available includes a pad for solenoid mounting per the NAMUR international standard. Any solenoid that conforms to the NAMUR interface can be directly mounted to the actuators, simplifying solenoid installation and eliminating the need for additional piping. Because the pressurized air supply is available at the port entrance, it also allows for quick actuation response. 

ISO 5211

The actuator bottom flange conforms to the ISO 5211 international standard and includes a star-shaped female drive to accommodate a wide range of valve output shafts. The valve can be attached to the actuator with a bracket or mounted directly onto the actuator using one of the ISO hole patterns.

COMPACT actuators are part of control packages in various industries and providing superior performance in the cycle times, size, weight, compressed-air consumption, and reliability in high cyclic applications.
