Cryogenic valves with modular extended stems are disclosed. A modular stem assembly includes a stem including a first end and a second end. The modular stem assembly includes a first disk connector coupled to the first end of the stem. The first disk connector defines a slot configured to securely receive a stem head of a second stem assembly of the cryogenic valve. The first disk connector has a first outer radial surface to slidably engage an inner surface of a bonnet of the cryogenic valve. The modular stem assembly includes a second disk connector coupled to the second end of the stem. The second disk connector includes a head configured to be securely received by a stem slot of a third stem assembly of the cryogenic valve. The second disk connector has a second outer radial surface to slidably engage the inner surface of the bonnet.

Cryogenic valves with modular extended stems

A low-emission nozzle and receptacle coupling for cryogenic fluid is disclosed. An example nozzle includes a body including a front end and a back end and defining a chamber through which the cryogenic fluid is to flow to the receptacle. The nozzle includes a shaft having a first end and a second end. The shaft is housed within and slidably extending through the chamber. The nozzle includes a poppet coupled to the first end of the shaft and an actuator including a stem coupled to the second end of the shaft. The stem is configured to linearly actuate to cause the shaft and the poppet to linearly actuate. The nozzle includes a coupling assembly coupling the actuator to the back end of the body. The coupling assembly includes insulating material to thermally isolate the actuator from the chamber through which the cryogenic fluid is to flow.
