Cryogenic Valves Education and Training

How to find useful information and education and training programs on cryogenic valves

By Howard Robertson

If you want to use cryogenic valves (also called cryo valves), you must have adequate knowledge on their installation, operation and maintenance. Whether you want to use cryogenic relief valves, cryogenic solenoid valves, cryogenic globe valves or cryogenic gate valves, you must understand the technology for the different cryogenic valves and their most suitable applications.

You can consult with experts and cryogenic valve manufacturers if you want to use a special type of cryogenic valve, such as a cryogenic butterfly valve.

To educate yourself and/or your workforce on cryo valves, you can:

Find training courses on cryogenic valves offered by various institutions
Subscribe to technical magazines that provide information on valves
Seek an expert’s advice on cryogenic valves
Join associations for valve manufacturers to enrich your knowledge on cryo valves

Understand the basics of cryogenic valves and the relevant terminology

If you have very little exposure to cryogenic valve technology, you can learn the basics by browsing through the websites of manufacturing companies and cryogenic valve suppliers.
Try: Velan, a leading manufacturer of cryogenic valves, provides basic information on the different types of cryogenic valves. If you are in the aerospace industry, you can find useful information on cryogenic solenoid valves at Valcor, another manufacturer of valves.

Find training courses that can provide education on cryogenic valves

If you have never used cryogenic valves, you can opt for a basic level training program. You can opt for advanced training programs if you already know the basics about cryogenic valve products.
Try: You can attend short duration courses on cryogenic systems at CRYOCO, a provider of cryogenic consulting services. PDHonline.org offers an online course that provides basic information on cryogenic valves.

Find magazines and technical articles that provide information on cryogenic valves

You can read through technical articles and magazines to keep up-to-date on information about the latest developments in the field of cryogenics.
Try: Learn about the installation, operation and maintenance of cryogenic ball valves at Cryogenic Experts, Inc. (CEXI), a supplier of cryogenic vaporizers. Valve Magazine is another useful resource that keeps you updated with the latest developments in the valve industry.

Interact with experts in the cryogenic valves industry

If you have a problem with cryogenic valves or if you want to know which valve best suits your requirements, you can get advice from experts who have been in the field of cryogenic engineering for many years.
Try: You can seek an expert’s advice at Cryogenic Consulting Service, a leading consultant in cryogenic engineering. Vacuum and Cryogenic Consultants (VACC) can help you select the most suitable cryogenic valve for your application.
