1.2 Safety Assessment

This product has been assessed against the requirements of EU Directive
94/9/EC (ATEX) and has been shown to comply with the requirements for
mechanical equipment to Group IIG, Category 2. This classification would
permit the equipment to be used in Zone 1 and 2 hazardous areas. Such
compliance is indicated in the product labelling as:

II 2G TX X

The “TX” marking is used in respect to the maximum surface temperature of

the valve which is wholly conditional on the temperature of the fluids passing
through it. The valve is specified to operate to a maximum temperature as
listed in the Technical Data, Section 6, page 19.

1.3 Procedure Safety

Certain operations within this manual are potentially hazardous and could
cause injury to personnel or equipment damage if the instructions are not
carried out exactly as described. Where a significant potential hazard exists,
the following text appears immediately before steps in the procedure that
present a particular hazard:

2.1 Overview
The 2230C and 4430B Temperature Sensing Valves are normally closed, two-
way valves which are opened when the temperature of the process medium
increases above a preset setpoint.

The control pressure applied to the valve can be air, gas or lubricating oil and
is vented when the valve opens. This reduces the control pressure to an AMOT
Master Safety Control or other device to protect the engine when high
temperature is detected.

Fig 1 shows a typical installation using two Temperature Sensing Valves

connected in series. This ensures that the shutdown system is triggered in the
event of high temperature cooling water or gear case.

The orifice ensures that the pressure drop is transmitted to the shutdown
system device in large volume systems.

Description

2.2 Description of Operation

Refer to Fig 2.

Under normal conditions, the inlet pressure is prevented from reaching the
vent port by the valve seat assembly which is held closed by the spring.

If the temperature increases, the wax temperature element expands and

moves the pushrod against the spring pressure.

When the temperature rises above the setpoint, the valve seat is lifted by the
pushrod and the inlet pressure is connected to the vent port.

When the temperature falls, the valve seat assembly is closed again by spring
pressure.

The screw is used to adjust the setpoint (preset by AMOT).

Description

2.4 Optional AMOT 4125 Vent Closure

The optional AMOT 4125 Vent Closure can be screwed into the “VENT” port to
protect against the ingress of dirt, insects and corrosive atmospheres into the
Valve.

3.1 Install the Valve ........................................................................ 11

3.1 Install the Valve

CAUTION
Some commercial fittings are not tapped deep enough and may
damage the temperature cup. It is recommended that a 22/32 in
diameter tap drill is run through the pipe fitting before installing the
Valve.

To prevent the pushrod being jammed by foreign objects and to keep

the ports clear, the control medium must be filtered before it enters
the Valve.

If the valve is located in a hazardous area and the mounting thread

does not provide good electrical contact between the valve and the
rest of the system, additional earth bonding will be required.

To ensure that the pressure drop is felt at the engine control device.
 An orifice must be fitted in the control medium input line. Suitable
orifices for a wide range of control media are available from
AMOT.
 Pipe lengths must be kept as short as possible to minimise the
control medium volume.

1 Install the Valve into the pipe fitting or thermowell using a quality thread
sealant such as Loctite ™ Pipe Sealant to the pipe thread connections.
If required, two types of stainless steel well can be used. Refer to the
Technical Data, Section 6, page 19 for pressure limits.

 3802L – 3/4 in.

 2766L – 1 in.
Note
When a Valve is ordered in a thermowell, it is assembled by AMOT using
heat transfer compound (Part number 907L002) to minimise the lag time for
changing temperatures.

Installation

2 Connect the control medium to the “IN” port using a quality thread
sealant such as Loctite ™ Pipe Sealant to the pipe thread connections -
8.62 bar (125 psi) maximum.
CAUTION
If the Valve is located in a hazardous area, the “VENT” port must be
connected by a pipe that vents outside the hazardous area.

3 Connect the “VENT” port depending on the type of control medium.

 Air – no connection is required but it should be protected from
contamination by an AMOT 4125 Vent Closure (refer to Fig 3) or a
tubing elbow bent downwards.
 Oil – connect to the sump.
 Gas – connect to system vent.
If required, an AMOT 4054 Trip Indicator can be fitted (Refer to manual
OMM405400037).

4.1 Introduction
The 2230C/4430B Temperature Sensing Valve operates with no manual
intervention and resets automatically.

If the optional AMOT 4054C Trip Indicator is used, the red plunger must be
pushed in to reset it after the temperature has fallen below the setpoint.

5.2 Test the Setpoint ....................................................................... 17

CAUTION
To satisfy the ATEX requirements, the external surface of the Valve
must be cleaned on a regular basis to prevent the accumulation of
potentially flammable dirt/spillages.

Where the control medium is flammable, the Valve must be inspected

at weekly intervals for leaks to minimise the risk of explosion.

5.1 Introduction
There are no user serviceable components in the 2230/4430 Temperature
sensing Valves.

The setpoint is preset by AMOT and it is recommended that the unit is

returned to AMOT if the setpoint requires adjustment. To test the setpoint,
refer to Section 5.2.

Maintenance of the 4054 Trip Indicator is described in OMM405400037.

5.2 Test the Setpoint

WARNING
To avoid injury, ensure that the process and control mediums are
cooled, drained and isolated before the Valve is removed from the
pipework.

1 Ensure that the process and control mediums are cooled, drained and
isolated.
2 Remove the Valve from the pipework.
3 Fit a device to the “VENT” port to provide an indication when the Valve
trips.
4 Fit a 4 bar (60 psi) pressure source to the “IN” port.
5 Immerse the Valve temperature element into a container filled with well
agitated water or glycol (depending on the temperature) and a
thermometer to indicate the temperature.

Maintenance

CAUTION
To prevent damage, do not exceed the maximum temperature of the
Valve. Refer to the Technical Data, Section 6.

6 Apply the inlet pressure of 4 bar (60 psi) and slowly heat the liquid in the
container until the Valve trips.
7 Note the thermometer reading and ensure that it indicates the correct
setpoint.
Note
The Valve starts to bleed control pressure at 1 to 2° C (2 to 4° F) below the
setpoint.
8 Allow the Valve to cool and ensure that it closes when the temperature
falls below the setpoint.
9 If the “VENT” port leaks in the ‘cold’ condition or the setpoint requires
adjustment, return to AMOT at the address shown on the back cover of
this manual.
