Emerson CASH A-401 Manual

Before installation, these instructions must be read carefully and understood.

CASH TYPE A-401 CRYOGENIC PRESSURE REGULATOR

INSTALLATION, OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS

DESCRIPTION

The Type A-401 regulator is a fully automatic

pressure regulating valve designed for

cryogenic service in the pressure build-up

circuit. Because it may be used for either

cryogenic liquids or gases, it may be installed

either before or after the pressure build-up

coil.

SPECIFICATION DATA

Service: Cryogenic liquids and gases

(pressure reducing or pressure build-up

service)

Sizes: ½"

Connections: Threaded internal inlet

and outlet.

Body Material: Bronze

Temperature Rating:

-320°F (-195.5°C) to +150°F (65.5°C)

Maximum Initial Pressure: 600 psig (41.4 bar)

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

The Type A-401 regulator should be installed in

the horizontal position with the spring chamber

upright or down. Install a Y-Type or equivalent

strainer upstream of the Type A-401. For

other installation requirements, consult the

factory. For easy operation and maintenance,

it is suggested that manual shut-off valves be

installed upstream and downstream from the

valve. Before installing the valve, the piping

and valve should be thoroughly flushed out

to remove any foreign material. In order to

prevent contamination from entering the valve,

an in-line screen is recommended. Install

the valve with the inlet pipe fitted to the inlet

connection identified on the valve body. Use a

compatible sealant on the male pipe threads

and do not over-tighten the valve connections.

CONSTRUCTION

See component description for materials of

construction.

All parts are commercially cleaned for oxygen

service.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Adjusting the Delivery Pressure

The regulator’s delivery pressure setting is

adjusted by turning the adjusting screw (1)

at the top of the spring chamber (3) after

loosening the adjusting screw lock nut (2).

To increase the delivery pressure, turn the

adjusting screw clockwise (into the spring

chamber). To decrease the delivery pressure,

turn the adjusting screw counter-clockwise (out

of the spring chamber). Tighten the adjusting

screw lock nut after the adjustment has been

made (and reinstall optional cap).

MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS

CAUTION

Before attempting to replace any spare parts,

be sure to shut off all pressure connections to

the valve. With the valve closed however, system

pressure could still be locked between the shut

off valve and the inlet and/or outlet sides of the

regulator. Before proceeding with any valve

service, be certain to relieve the pressure from

both sides of the regulator.

After reassembly and before pressurizing the

valve, tighten the adjusting screw to ensure there

is force on the pressure plate. This will help avoid

damage to parts that will cause the valve to leak

and not function correctly.

Refer to section view on the following page for

parts identification. Repair parts can easily be

installed without removing the regulator from the

line.
