Abstract

A cryogenic butterfly valve is used to transfer the liquefied natural gas (LNG) which temperature is $-162^{\circ}C$. This valve is core part in the piping system using LNG. This paper performed coupling analysis using FEM to evaluate safety of cryogenic butterfly valve. Flow analysis is calculated numerically the CAE and CFD methods are useful to predict the thermal matter and the inner flow field of the valve. Thermal analysis and structural analysis used ANSYS Workbench.
