HEROSE is the leading manufacturer worldwide of valves for cryogenic applications and services.

HEROSE is the leading manufacturer worldwide of valves for cryogenic applications and services. Based on 140 years of experience in the development and manufacture of valves, we strive to provide customers with technical solutions over and above industry standards.

Our cryogenic safety valves are installed for protection against overpressure in tank containers and pipelines used for the storage, distribution and transport of liquefied gases — such as oxygen, nitrogen, argon, carbon dioxide, helium, hydrogen, etc. — at temperatures as low as -270°C (-454°F). A bellow-sealed option is available.

A major global gas company successfully subjected our cryogenic safety valves to an endurance test of 144,000 opening and closing cycles, and have subsequently been using our valves with trouble-free operation in over 35,000 installations for almost ten years.

Our diverter valves have been tested by a well-known cryogenic bulk vessel manufacturer. These tests reported a valve life expectancy of over 150 years.

HEROSE's product range of LNG valves included bronze valves which are TUV-certified according to EN 12567, as well as stainless-steel valves which are additionally fire-safe approved according to EN ISO 10497.

This approval ensures that our fire-safe LNG valves remain tightly shut off, protecting plant and personnel when fires occur. HEROSE's fire-safe LNG valves have been installed in critical applications worldwide.

Our product range of industrial safety valves covers the fields of gases, vapours, fluids and refrigerants. A special development is the industrial safety valve for pneumatically drained silo vehicles. Like other valves in the HEROSE range, this industrial safety valve is resistant to extreme vibration and environmental conditions.

As an environmentally aware company, we strive to ensure excellent sealing characteristics in all our industrial safety valves, minimising emissions to the atmosphere.

HEROSE offers the full package of cryogenic globe valves, control valves, check valves and emergency-closure valves, as well as diverter ball valves and change-over valves. All types are available in bronze or stainless steel, either for manual operation or as an actuated design.

More recently, we have introduced a complete range of stainless-steel gate valves, which takes HEROSE's quality and design capabilities into new applications, such as cryogenic road tankers.

HEROSE offers a wide range of cryogenic globe valves, available in bronze or stainless-steel, either for manual operation or as actuated designs.

HEROSE is extending its range of products for cryogenic technology with ball valves. Especially for CO2 tanks and ISO containers for offshore use, or any other application where a rapid opening and closing of the valve is required, these cryogenic ball valves are an optimum supplement to the HEROSE product range.

HEROSE offers a range of pneumatic actuated cryogenic control valves. These valves are working with a linear or equal percentage control characteristic and are approved for air gases, vapours and cryogenic liquefied gases including LNG.

HEROSE's success is ensured by our highly qualified staff. Our engineers are committed to the ongoing development of our valves to find tailor-made solutions for our customer base when existing products fail to meet their application requirements.

Our customers benefit from our TÜV approved quality systems according to the latest editions of DIN EN ISO 9001, PED 97 / 23 / EG, AD 2000 and TPED 99 / 36 / EG. The high-quality design of the HEROSE range is verified by the fact product complaints have only been made against less than 0.03% of the total valves we have manufactured. The company's primary target is customer satisfaction.

HEROSE's line of cryogenic valve systems has been carefully optimised for low-temperature applications, providing effective and dependable protection at temperatures as low as –269°C.

HEROSE offers an extensive collection of liquefied natural gas (LNG) valve systems that have been specially designed to provide robust protection for cryogenic LNG facilities and pressurised container units across a wide variety of industrial applications.

Germany-based HEROSE is an industry-leading provider of high-quality valves and fittings, which are specifically designed to meet the most complex engineering challenges of the industrial chemicals sector.

On 1 April 2023, the HEROSE Group celebrated its 150th anniversary and will celebrate this event withselected guests in the Hamburg Fish Auction Hall in June.

HEROSE safety valves can be checked, repaired and adjusted to other pressures in more than 50 authorised workshops across the world.

The demand for medical oxygen has increased so much in the pandemic, that additional transports in tank containers have become necessary to supply Covid-19 patients with the life-saving gas.

Leading global valve manufacturer HEROSE is pleased to announce the extension of the company's range of solutions for the energy sector via the addition of an innovative new ball valve device.

Germany-based valve specialist HEROSE is pleased to announce the addition of the ‘O-ring’ variant to its 0685X and 0681X series range of safety valve solutions.

HEROSE is pleased to announce its range of valve products are now certified by the Registro Italiano Navale (RINA).

Seeing a new LNG-Barge with HEROSE valves supplies AIDAsol with power after it docked at the Hamburg harbour city, the cruise ship can shut-down its diesel from 2015. This contributes to both environmental and climate protection.

From 15 to 19 June, the Frankfurt exhibition grounds will once again host the ACHEMA - the world's leading exhibition for chemical technology and the processing industry.

From 11 May to 15 May Herose will participate in ACHEMA in Frankfurt am Main, Germany, with an exhibition stand that is almost twice the size of previous displays. Herose Manager Dirk Zschalich said: "We have been one of the regular exhibitors at this exhibition for many decades. And fo

Cryogenic globe valves are available in sizes from DN10 to DN200 and secure pressures up to 50 bar.

Different product characteristics can be combined to create the ideal cryogenic angle valve for any application.

HEROSS cryogenic gate valves have a flow rate that is three to five times higher than other valves of a similar size.

Systems such as ship-side bunkers, LNG storage tanks, Fuel Gas Supply Systems (FGSS), and LNG engines and gas turbines use butterfly valves.

The fill clusters are manufactured in stainless steel and bronze.

Cryogenic ball valves are available in sizes from DN8 to DN150 and secure pressures up to 50 bar.

The valve can be made from optional seawater-resistant materials, making it suitable for offshore use.

With combined pressure regulators, cryogenic liquefied technical gases such as nitrogen, oxygen, or argon can be economically stored at constant pressure during operations.

Specially designed check valves are required for cryogenic use as they need to withstand temperatures below freezing point.

Filtration is necessary for ensuring that a medium complies with the specified level of purity for downstream processes.

The safety valves are manufactured primarily in stainless steel but also in bronze and brass.

The cryogenic overflow valves secure pressures up to 36 bar, at operating temperatures of -196°C to +185°C.

With usually two outputs, but only one input, a changeover valve connects two safety valves with a pressure device. Changeover valves are used with air gasses, vapours, and in cryogenics with cryogenic liquefied gasses such as nitrogen.
