General safety instructions

1 General safety instructions

−The regulator is to be mounted, started up or serviced by fully trained and

qualiedpersonnelonly;theacceptedindustrycodesandpracticesareto

be observed. Make sure employees or third persons are not exposed to any

danger.

−All safety instructions and warnings given in these mounting and operating

instructions, particularly those concerning installation, start-up and mainte-

nance, must be strictly observed.

−According to these mounting and operating instructions, trained personnel

refers to individuals who are able to judge the work they are assigned to

and recognize possible dangers due to their specialized training, their

knowledge and experience as well as their knowledge of the applicable

standards.

−The regulators comply with the requirements of the European Pressure Equip-

ment Directive 97/23/EC. Devices with a CE marking have a declaration of

conformity, which includes information about the applied conformity assess-

ment procedure. This declaration of conformity can be provided on request.

−To ensure appropriate use, only use the regulator in applications where the

operatingpressureandtemperaturesdonotexceedthespecicationsused

for sizing the regulator at the ordering stage.

−The manufacturer does not assume any responsibility for damage caused by

external forces or any other external factors.

−Any hazards that could be caused in the regulator by the process medium,

operating pressure or by moving parts are to be prevented by taking appro-

priate precautions.

−Proper transport, storage, installation, operation and maintenance are as-

sumed.

EB 2512 EN 5

Process medium and scope of application

2 Process medium and scope of application

Pressure regulators for set points from 0.05 to 28bar · Valve nominal sizes DN15 to 100

Nominal pressure PN16 to 40 · Suitable for liquids, gases and vapors up to 350°C

The valve closes when the downstream pressure rises.

NOTICE

The Type41-23 Pressure Reducing Valve is not a safety valve. If necessary, a suitable

overpressure protection must be installed on site in the plant section.

2.1 Transportation and storage

The regulator must be carefully handled, transported and stored. Protect the regulator against

adverseinuences,suchasdirt,moistureorfrost,duringstorageandtransportation.

When regulators are too heavy to be lifted by hand, fasten the lifting sling at a suitable place

on the valve body.

NOTICE

Do not attach any lifting equipment, slings or supports to mounting parts, such as the

adjusting screw or control line.

3 Design and principle of operation

See Fig.1 on page7.

TheType41-23PressureReducingValveconsistsofaType2412ClosingValveanda

Type2413Actuator.Thevalveandactuatoraredeliveredseparatelyandmustbeassembled

accordingtotheinstructionsinsection4.1.

The pressure reducing valve is used to maintain the pressure downstream of the valve to an

adjusted set point.

Theprocessmediumowsthroughthevalvebetweenseat(2)andplug(3)inthedirectionin-

dicatedbythearrowonthebody.Thepositionofthevalveplugdeterminestheowrate

and the pressure ratio across the valve. The plug stem is sealed by a frictionless bellows

(5.1).Thedownstreampressurep2istransmittedthroughthecompensationchamber(18)

andcontrolline(17)totheoperatingdiaphragm(12)whereitisconvertedintoapositioning

force. For actuator versions with a bellows, the pressure is transmitted to the operating bel-

6 EB 2512 EN

Installation

lows(12.1).Thepositioningforceisusedto

move the valve plug according to the force of

thepositioningsprings(7).Thespringforce

isadjustableatthesetpointadjuster(6).

Valves with KVS4andhigherfeatureabal-

ancingbellows(4).Theupstreampressure

acts on the outside of the bellows and the

downstream pressure on the inside of the

bellows. As a result, the forces produced by

the upstream and downstream pressures act-

ing on the plug are balanced.

Depending on the valve and actuator used,

the regulator can be upgraded to create a

pressurereducingvalveforlowowrates,a

steam pressure reducing valve or a pressure

reducing valve with increased safety.

4 Installation

4.1 Assembly

See Fig.1 on page7.

Valve and actuator can be assembled before

or after the valve has been installed in the

pipeline.

Pushthediaphragmactuator(10)withactu-

atorstem(11)throughtheholeinthecross-

beam(8)ontothespigotsofthebellows

(5.1).Alignitandfastenwithnuts(width

acrossats16,9)ontothevalveange(ap-

prox.25Nm).

For metal bellows actuators in DN15 to 50,

removethecrossbeam(8)fromthevalve.

Pushtheactuatorstem(11)ontothespigots

Installation

4.2 Mounting position

NOTICE

Protect the regulator from icing up

when controlling media that can

freeze. Remove the regulator from

the pipeline when the plant is shut

down if the regulator is not installed

areas free from frost.

Flush the pipeline thoroughly before install-

ing the regulator to ensure that any sealing

parts, weld spatter and other impurities car-

ried along by the process medium do not im-

pair the proper functioning of the valve,

above all the tight shut-off.

NOTICE

Install a strainer (e.g. SAMSON

Type2) upstream of the regulator.

Install the pressure reducing valve in hori-

zontal pipelines. On installing the valve,

makesurethedirectionofowcorresponds

with the arrow on the body. For media with

a tendency to condensate, install the pipeline

with a slight downward slope on both sides

so that the condensate can drain properly. If

the pipeline upstream and downstream of

the valve run vertically upwards, an auto-

matic water drainage (e.g. SAMSON

Type13ESteamTrap)isrequired.Choosea

place of installation that allows you to freely

access the regulator even after the entire

plant has been completed. The regulator

must be installed free of stress. If necessary,

supportthepipeneartheconnectingang-

es.

Fig.2: Mounting position

NOTICE

Do not attach supports directly to the

valve or actuator.

If a bypass line is to be used, it must be con-

nected downstream of the pressure tapping

point. Install a shut-off valve in the bypass

line.

Note:

Do not install any instruments (e.g.

temperature regulators or shut-off

valves) that restrict the cross-section

of the pipe between the pressure tap-

ping point and the valve.

Installation

4.3 Control line, compensation

chamber and needle valve

Control line · A control line must be provid-

ed at the site of installation, e.g. a

“ pipe

forsteamoran8x1or6x1mmpipefor

air/water.

Connect the control line to the downstream

line (p2)atleastonemeterawayfromthe

valveoutlet(Fig.3.1).Ifamanifoldislocat-

ed downstream of the pressure reducing

valve(Fig.3.2),connectthevalvetothe

manifold, even if it is several meters away. If

the downstream line behind the valve is ex-

tended by a conical expansion piece, con-

nect the control line in the expanded section

of the line. Weld the control line at the side

in the middle of the pipe, inclining at a ratio

of approximately 1:10 up to the compensa-

tion chamber.

Control line kit · A control line kit for tap-

ping pressure directly at the valve body is

available as an accessories part from

SAMSON.

Compensation chamber∙SeeTable1on

Installation

The mounting position of the compensation

chamber is indicated by an adhesive label

on the chamber itself as well as by an arrow

and the word "top" stamped on the top of

the chamber.

Thismountingpositionmustbeadheredto;

otherwise the safe functioning of the pressure

reducing valve cannot be guaranteed.

Weld the line coming from the pressure tap-

ping point to the

“ pipe socket on the

chamber. Install the compensation chamber

at the highest point of the pipeline. Conse-

quently, the control line between compensa-

tion chamber and actuator must also be in-

stalled with a downward slope. In this case,

use a

“pipewithscrewttings.

If the control line connection is located below

themiddleofthevalveoutletange,arrange

the compensation chamber at the same level

astheoutletange(Fig.3.3).Inthiscase,

use a pipe which is at least ½“ in size for the

control line from the tapping point to the

compensation chamber.

If the control line is connected above the

middleofthevalveoutletange,installthe

compensation chamber at the same level as

the downstream pressure tapping point

(Fig.3.4).Theadditionalpressureofthe

condensate head must be compensated for

by adjusting the set point to a higher value.

Needle valve · If the regulator tends to hunt,

we recommend installing a needle valve at

thecontrollineconnection(16)inadditionto

the standard SAMSON screw joint with re-

striction.

4.4 Strainer (lter)

Install the strainer (e.g. SAMSON

Type2N/2NI)upstreamofthepressurere-

ducingvalve(seeFig.3).

−Selectastrainer(meshsize)suitablefor

the process medium.

−Thedirectionofowmustcorrespondto

the arrow on the body.

−Thelterelementmustbeinstalledto

hang downwards or sideways for appli-

cations with steam.

−Remember to leave enough space to re-

movethelterelement.

4.5 Shut-off valve

Install a hand-operated shut-off valve both

upstream of the strainer and downstream of

the regulator. This allows the plant to be shut

down for cleaning and maintenance, and

when the plant is not used for longer periods

of time.

4.6 Pressure gauges

Install a pressure gauge both upstream and

downstream of the regulator to monitor the

pressures prevailing in the plant. Install the

pressure gauge on the downstream side be-

hind the downstream pressure tapping point

(not between the tapping point and the

valve).
