The latest in Cryogenic Breakaway Coupling technology

The KLAW Cryobreak Breakaway Coupling minimizes risk of cryogenic media spills.

Designed and manufactured for the safe transfer of media at cryogenic temperatures.

Reduces risk of damage to assets and injury to personnel in the event of a drive-off or extreme pressure flow.

The KLAW Cryobreak takes advantage of KLAW Flip-Flap Valve and Breakstud technology.

100% instantaneous closure of both upstream and downstream flow – minimizing the risk of spills and clean-up costs.

Shown Flip-Flap Valves within two separated halves in activated and closed position.

Operating temperatures to -196°C (-320°F)

Operational advantages

  • Minimum headloss - reduces impact on the efficiency of transfer flow.
  • Compact and lightweight - enables minimum configuration footprint and easy handling.
  • ATEX cable fitted as standard.
  • No need for separate end connectors ; but maintains the flexibility of multiple End Connections.
  • Wrench spanner Flats included in the design for easy threaded end attachment.
  • Option to include proximity switch to monitor transfer operations.
  • Simple to maintain: Reset plugs with easy to reset procedure after maintenance or activation.
  • Each unit is supplied with a detailed Installation and Maintenance Manual.

Typical applications

  • Ship Bunkering: large scale and small scale
  • Ship-to-Shore operations
  • Road Tanker refueling and Bulk Storage
  • Fixed Bulk Storage operations
  • Railcar Tender Cars
  • ISO Tank loading and unloading
  • Loading Arm installations
  • Retail dispense equipment for cryogenic service.
 

Typical media

  • LNG
  • Liquid Nitrogen
  • Liquid Oxygen
  • Ethylene
  • Ethane
  • Liquid Argon
  • CO2
 

Protection

The KLAW Cryobreak Breakaway Coupling protects against the following typical scenarios.

  •  Road Tanker drive-off prior to disconnection.
  • Shift or shunt of Railcars during loading or unloading operations.
  • Over pressurization of the transfer system beyond the engineered tolerance of the Breakstuds.
 

Breaking loads

Coupling breakloads can be varied to suit any application.
This Cryogenic Breakaway Coupling is designed to activate under a bending moment. The applied force being an angle of up to 90 degrees to the plane of the coupling.
