Compressed Natural Gas

Compressed Natural Gas is primarily employed in refueling applications and other alternative energy systems. In refueling applications, compression is done onsite to put the compressed gas into 3 tanks. Our valves are used to direct the flow of gases to and from the correct tanks, and to the unit being refueled. Many companies generally refer to our valves as “sequencing valves”. Our valves are also frequently used in ESD applications, commonly referred to as an Emergency Shut-Down system.

Hydrogen Applications

Clark Cooper has been very successful in applications that require the handling of H2 (Hydrogen), due to our valves reliability, flexibility and our standard explosion-proof coils. Below are common uses of our valves in this application type.

• Used in sequencing models for refueling applications, especially for forklift fueling, given that those applications use pressures greater than 8K psi. For the new car hydrogen fueling stations, our new EX Series line meets the 15K psi requirements for these new types of fueling stations.
• Onsite Hydrogen generation – valves used in a steam reforming system where the hydrogen is generated instead of having it delivered by a 3rd party. During the reforming process the hydrogen is compressed and transported into storage tanks. Our solenoid valves are used to control the flow of hydrogen generated by this system.

High Pressure Cryogenics

Cryogenic applications include everything from advanced cancer treatment therapy to industrial laser cutting, and our valves are great for controlling the flow of these liquidized gases. Clark Cooper’s extension of the Magnatrol product line includes valves that can operate above the 500 psi limit all the way to 10,000 psi. With valves from ¼” to 2” pipe sizes, you will find our line of products provides an extreme benefit to your customers.

Power Generation

Solenoid valves are becoming more popular in the power generation industry. They are currently being installed in new gas turbine units and in turbines that are being overhauled. Our valves utilize an explosion proof coil that has been certified by ETL often required in power generation applications. Here are just a few examples of how our valves are used:

• Fuel plate (diesel and water) - The turbines run on diesel or CNG and water is used to spray and reduce pollutants in the combustion chamber. (Water mist is used to pull out pollutants in the gases).
• Generators (Hydrogen environment) – Trip Valves are used in a hydrogen purge system. When the trip condition is active, the hydrogen is forced out and replaced with nitrogen for emergency shutdown.

Navy & Marine Applications

The ER Series is the best for all of your naval and marine applications. The variety of available materials, allows us to suit the valve for your needs. Our ER series and Trip Valves are put into a mixture of applications, which include reverse osmosis, steam and in drain systems, to quickly and completely evacuate salt-water from tubes and various chambers. We can also work with you to ensure that our valves meet any specific shock and vibe requirements and military specifications.

Specialized Applications

Clark Cooper’s valves have also been used in a variety of special applications that are not specific to a given industry. Below are some examples:

• Fire Suppression – use for gas or liquid/gas mixture distribution for suppressing fires in critical areas.
• Boiler Cleaning – using a method known as a shock system (igniting/exploding CNG inside of the boiler), our valves facilitates the handling of flammable gases needed for these controlled blasts.
• Wash Systems – high pressure wash systems like those used in chemical cleaning systems, dust binding, industrial part washers and automated vehicle wash systems.
• Fracking – our solenoid valves are instituted in many phases of the fracking process, from the initial solution delivery to the transport and storage of gases.
