Remote Motorized Cryogenic Valve Controller

Abstract

A kit for retrofitting a manual cryogenic fluid transfer line generally includes a hub unit configured for attachment to a manual control knob of the manual cryogenic fluid transfer line and a motor unit kinematically coupled to the hub unit for rotating the hub unit whereby the manual control knob rotates. A method for retrofitting a manual cryogenic fluid transfer generally includes attaching a hub unit to a manual control knob of the manual cryogenic fluid transfer line and coupling a motor unit to the hub unit for rotating the hub unit. A motor-controlled cryogenic fluid transfer line generally includes a cryogenic fluid transfer line, a hub unit attached to the cryogenic fluid transfer line for controlling flow of cryogenic fluid through the transfer line and a motor unit kinematically coupled to the hub unit for rotating the hub unit to adjust flow of cryogenic fluid through the line.
