Special features
Fig. 1: Type 3248-7 Pneumatic
The Type 3248 Cryogenic Valve is specially designed to meet Control Valve, globe valve with
the requirements of cryogenic applications. positioner and supply pressure
regulator
• Standard metal bellows to meet strict emission require-
ments
• Minimized heat leakage thanks to the use of a bellows
seal and a cryogenic extension bonnet
• Globe or angle-style valve body
• Installation in vacuum-insulated pipelines, air separation
plants and peripheral plants made possible by a cover
plate on the cryogenic extension bonnet
• Valve maintenance possible without removing it from the
pipeline
• Top entry through the cryogenic extension bonnet allows
easy access to the seat, plug and bellows after removal of
the actuator
• The CV coefficients can be modified in wide ranges by re-
placing the seat and valve plug
Optional with RFID tags with unique identification according
to DIN SPEC 91406.

Principle of operation
The medium flows through the cryogenic valve in the direction
indicated by the arrow. The position of the valve plug (5) in
relation to the seat (4) determines the flow rate.
The metal bellows seal (37) guarantees that the medium has
no direct contact with the V-ring packing (15). The packing to
seal the stem to the atmosphere is self-adjusting.
The stem seal can be checked at any time for leakage by re-
moving the screw plug at the test connection (42).

Installation
We recommend mounting the valve at an angle between 15 2
and 25° to the horizontal plane. Contact SAMSON for small-
15
er mounting angles as additional measures are required in
this case. Avoid attaching the bracket or support in the area 42
around bellows nut (41) (refer to the Mounting and Operating
Instructions u EB 8093-1).
The medium must flow through the valve in the direction indi-
cated by the arrow on the valve body (1).

Fail-safe position
Depending on how the springs are arranged in the pneumatic
actuator (see Data Sheet u T8310-1), the valve has two dif-
ferent fail-safe positions that become effective when the supply
air fails:
41
– Actuator stem extends (FA): when the air supply fails, the
spring force moves the stem downward causing the valve
to close. 37

– Actuator stem retracts (FE): when the air supply fails, the 22
spring force moves the stem upwards causing the valve to
open.
