SINGER MODEL 106-PR-AC PRESSURE REDUCING VALVE FOR CAVITATING CONDITION Schematic A-7553-B DESCRIPTION: Model 106-PR-AC is a pilot operated pressure reducing valve designed to automatically reduce a high inlet pressure into a lower outlet pressure. The valve will maintain a relatively steady downstream pressure regardless of fluctuations in the supply pressure or flow rate. The main valve is equipped with ANTI- CAVITATION TRIM to prevent damage caused by cavitation. See Drawing AO680A for details. Unless otherwise specified, the valve will be assembled for service temperatures to 140 deg.F (60 deg.C). Higher temperature ratings are available - consult SINGER VALVE for details. DESCRIPTION OF OPERATION: The valve is normally open when pressure is applied to the valve inlet. When the same pressure is applied to the bonnet, the valve closes tight. Refer to 106/206-PG ‘Description of Operation’. By controlling the pressure in the bonnet, the valve can be made to open fully, close tight or open partially. The bonnet pressure (and therefore the position of the valve) is controlled by a pilot circuit consisting of a fixed restriction (6), and pressure reducing pilot (7). When there is no demand (and the downstream pressure is at the setting of the pilot), the pressure reducing pilot is closed. Pressure from the inlet side of the valve is directed to the bonnet through the fixed restriction and the flow stabilizer (5). The main valve closes. When flow is required, the pilot senses a drop in pressure and opens. The flow through the pilot is greater than flow through the fixed restriction. The bonnet pressure is reduced and the valve opens to supply the demand. The speed of opening is determined by the setting of the flow stabilizer. Refer to Model 26 instructions for details and adjustment. Under flowing conditions the pilot reacts to small changes in pressure to modulate the bonnet pressure (and valve position) as required to keep the downstream pressure constant. Note that the main valve position follows the position of the pilot. When the pilot closes, the main valve closes. When the pilot opens, the main valve opens. 1OM A-7553 Page 1 of 2 September 1989 Central - La Paz: c/Jamaica 1146 EdiJamaica PB (Miraflores) Telf:2115391 Fax:2248578 ‘Cochabamba: c/Antezana 728 Edif: Ky L entre Chuquisaca y La Paz Telf: 4141952 Fax: 4141972 Santa Cruz: c/24 de Septiembre 532 entre Ct ‘Cel: 67000740 Skype:fiuiconst E-mail: FLUICOMST Eficiencia y RapidezINSTALLATION: 4. Refer to 106/206-PG ‘Installation’. 2. Installation where there is loosely held piping and/or elbows close to the valve may cause the valve to oscillate or hunt. 3. The ANTI-CAVITATION TRIM can not handle as many types of foreign materials as a standard main valve. If troublesome materials are suspected, a strainer should be installed ahead of the valve. ADJUSTING PROCEDURE: 4. Open pilot line isolating valves (2), (4) and (9) 2. Crack outlet stop valve and slowly open inlet stop valve wide. 3. Bleed air from main valve bonnet. SEE 106/206-PG "INSTALLATION’. 4, Open outlet stop vaive wide. 5, Set reduced (downstream) pressure by turning pilot adjusting screw: * To increase pressure, turn adjusting screw clockwise * To reduce pressure, tun adjusting screw counterclockwise. » NOTE THAT THERE MUST BE FLOW THROUGH THE VALVE WHEN PRESSURE IS ADJUSTED. 6.IF THE VALVE DOES NOT OPEN (pressure remains low), check the adjustment of Model 26 Flow Control ‘SEE MODEL 26 INSTRUCTIONS. 7.1F THE VALVE OSCILLATE OR HUNT: * Bleed air from main valve bonnet. SEE 106/206-PG INSTALLATION’. * Adjust Model 26 Flow Control. SEE MODEL 26 INSTRUCTIONS. BEGINS TO SERVICE SUGGESTIONS: In addition to service suggestions listed in the 106/206-PG instruction, we suggest the following: IF THE VALVE FAILS TO CLOSE: Close isolating valve (9). If the main valve closes, the pilot is defective or is set too high. If the valve does not close, close upstream pilot isolating valve (2). Remove the copper tube between the strainer and Model 26. There should be some flow from the Model 26 (5) but the flow should stop. If there is continuous flow from the Model 26, the diaphragm is ruptured. if there is no continuous flow from the Model 26, open the upstream pilot line isolating valve slowly. If there is no flow, the strainer is plugged. If the strainer is not plugged, open the pipe plug on top of the stem cap or spring casing and open isolating valve (2). There should be a flow from the bonnet signifying that there is no obstruction in the line from the inlet to the bonnet. If there is no flow, find the obstruction.
