Dover-Owned ACME Cryogenics Expands CV Valve Product Line For Hydrogen Market
ACME Cryogenics (ACME) has developed new 6 and 8 in. (152 and 203 mm) valves for its Model CV Valve product line. These additions satisfy the growing customer demand for hydrogen valves with larger bore sizes. In December 2021, Dover announced the US$295 million cash acquisition of ACME and a definitive agreement to acquire Engineered Controls International (RegO) for US$631 million in cash. Both businesses became a part of the OPW Clean Energy Solutions operating unit with Dover’s fueling solutions segment.
“We are proud to introduce new valve sizes within our CV Valve product line following the global expansion of hydrogen infrastructure. These larger components reflect our commitment to meeting the evolving needs of our customers, providing them with reliable solutions for the growing hydrogen market,” Dan Hutchinson, ACME Cryogenics technical sales mSanager.
According to Dover, the ACME Model CV valves possess design and operational benefits that make them both ideal for the handling of hydrogen and compatible for use in applications that require a vacuum-jacketed valve and piping system. All Model CV valves are compliant with ASME B31.3 and CSA B51 regulations that govern the use of valves in industrial applications with various pressure and temperature ratings. Model CV valves are rated for hydrogen-handling use in a wide range of markets and industries, including aerospace, food and beverage, electronics, vehicle refueling, industrial manufacturing, and medical.
