Cryogenic Cam Butterfly Valve

Contractor proposes further research and engineering for modeling in order to manufacture and deliver two safe, reliable and leak-tight 12 in. Class 300 Cryogenic Cam Butterfly Valves (CCV) prototypes and two safe, reliable and leak-tight 1 (2) 10rdquo; Class 300 prototypes for testing and acceptance at SSC; the design and engineering of the Phase II will build upon the feasibility study submitted in a Phase I deliveryThe Phase I deliverable was a drawing package for the manufacture of a 6 in. Class 300 CCV prototype; it will be modified to meet the more widely used cryogenic valve diameters of 12rdquo; and 10rdquo;. Successful prototypes will solve a long-standing of problem of cryogenic valve leakage that has been experienced with existing butterfly valve alternatives.nbsp;In addition to NASArsquo;s requirement, Contractor has identified a large commercial U.S. and global market, namely the LNG and industrial gas value chains.nbsp; Resolving the problem of leakage will address safety and environmental (fugitive emissions), as well as valve reliability issues for NASA as well as for the private sector.nbsp;The following are technical objectives for the CCV in SBIR Phase II. -Identify risks that might challenge feasibility or practicality of the CCV -Prove that the CCV functions well in temperatures of 100 ndash; 423deg;F and pressures of 0 ndash; 400 psi -Validate design and materials that was selected. -Confirm that CCV exhibits safe and reliable performance
