VALVE PROVING SYSTEM

A4021 Series

UNIVERSAL GAS VALVES

EN2R--9023 9705R0--NE

APPLICATION

The A4021 is a self--checking microprocessor based Valve

Proving System (VPS). The A4021 checks the effective clo-

sure of automatic shut--off valves by measuring the pressure

differential between two valves during the test sequence.

Subbase and pressure switch are required to complete the

system.

When during the test sequence of the A4021 a failing valve is

detected, the A4021 will go into a non--volatile lock--out sta-

tus, generates an alarm and prevents a burner start--up.

The intended application is for gas fired power burners and

other large capacity gas firing installations, where according

to the European norm EN676 a valve proving system can be

used as an alternative for pre--purging the combustion cham-

ber. And for installations with or without pre--purge with a

capacity of more than 1200 kW.

GENERAL

Application (continued)

The A4021A can be used for both single and combination

valves with or without pilot valve.

For valves with large nominal sizes, valve proving is possible

by use of auxiliary valves (pre--configuration only, see page 4).

For mounting the A4021 on a typical combination valve as the

VQ400 Series or on a large valve like the VE5000 Series

there is a mounting bracket available (order separately)

According the European standard EN676 a valve proving

system can be used under certain conditions, as an

alternative for pre--purging the combustion chamber. EN676

prescribes a valve proving system for capacity rating over

1,200 kW, see Table 1.

DESCRIPTION

The A4021 valve proving system checks the effective closure

of the valves

before

burner start--up (pre--configuration) or

the end of

a heat demand (post--configuration). The

configuration can be set by means of wiring the A4021 in two

different ways, see Fig. 2. and 3.

The flow chart (Fig. 5. ) and sequence diagram (Fig. 6. )

explain the procedure during the valve proving.

An external pressure switch monitors the pressure between

both valves. The pressure switch must be set to half the inlet

pressure in order to test both valves with the same sensitivity.

After a short interruption of the mains supply during valve

proving or during RUN, the A4021 restarts automatically.

The A4021 valve proving system can be used with several

pilot--valve configurations, like intermittent and interrupted

pilot systems and 3--valve configurations as well.

Working principle

The A4021 valve proving system is based on the pressure

status--principle. This means that the valves are checked by

means of measuring (on/off) the pressure in the gas--pipe

between the two safety--valves. This system will only work

when there is sufficient gas--pressure (line--pressure).

Therefore a Low Gas Pressure Switch (LGPS) is part of the

installation. When the line--pressure (Pinlet) is too low the

LGPS will disable the valve proving system.

The section between the two valves is filled with gas

(high--pressure status) by opening valve--1 (upstream valve)

and the pipe is emptied (low--pressure status) by closing

valve--1 and opening valve--2 (down--stream). When one of

the valves is leaking this will mean that either the pressure

will not maintain the high--pressure status or the low--pressure

status at the end of the test period.

For this method of testing, the test time is a function of three

parameters.

−inlet pressure

−volume between the valves.

−maximum burner capacity.

The test time can be calculated as given on page11. Different

test times are available by different O.S. numbers.

4) When during the test sequence a fault is discovered by the

A4021, the system will go into a non--volatile lock--out and

generate an alarm “self test error” (see also

Troubleshooting section).The “self test error” also occurs

when the anti--recycle--counter reaches the value 10, see

also page 10 of the Product handbook.

5) Leakage ≥0.1 % of maximum flow rate.

WARNING

No standard valve proving after lock--out of the

ignition controller.

Valve proving after lockout maybe required, this can

be achieved by special wiring diagrams. E.g. when a

DTSP switch is used to reset the ignition controller

and interrupting the heat--demand for the A4021A.
