Acme Cryogenics, part of OPW Clean Energy Solutions and Dover, has added two new valves to its Model CV Valve product line to meet growing customer demands in the hydrogen market.
New 6” and 8” valves have been added to the product line for the handling of hydrogen and for use in applications that require a vacuum-jacketed valve and piping system.
Dan Hutchinson, Cryogenics Technical Sales Manager at ACME, said he is proud to introduce new valve sizes within the CV Valve product line following the global expansion of hydrogen infrastructure.
He added, “These larger components reflect our commitment to meeting the evolving needs of our customers, providing them with reliable solutions for the growing hydrogen market.”
All Model CV valves are compliant with ASME B31.3 and CSA B51 regulations that govern the use of valves in industrial applications with various pressure and temperature ratings.
The valves in the product line are all rated for hydrogen-handling use in a wide range of markets and industries, including aerospace, food and beverage, electronics, vehicle refuelling, industrial manufacturing, and medical.
In December 2021, Dover announced the acquisition of both RegO and Acme for $295m. At the time, it was announced that both businesses would become part of OPW Global, an operating unit within Dover’s Fuelling Solutions segment.
Later, in November 2022, RegO and Acme announced that they were to adopt a joint OPW Clean Energy Solutions branding strategy and logo to reflect what they called a common mission to manufacture engineered solutions for shared markets.

In the upcoming June issue of gasworld US, we speak to OPW’s Chad Thomas about how it hopes to bridge technology gaps in the clean energies marketplace.
“One of the major challenges we’re addressing is making hydrogen adoption easier,” Thomas explained.
“Whenever we transfer hydrogen, there’s a practical gap. What I mean is that while the current technology functions on a small scale, it’s very technical and cumbersome. It requires a lot of preparation, a long process of setting up the system, and transferring the hydrogen. It’s essentially a specialized process model.”
