General
Pneumatic actuated valves are used for gases and
liquids. As a result of the long service life of their wear
parts such as gland, diaphragm, valve stem, valve seat
and valve cone they are also suitable for systems
exposed to heavy loads. High requirements with respect
to positioning accuracy can be met by installing a
positioning relay. Valves of special configurations are
made for special applications, p.e. without stuffing box by
bellow sealing.
Principle of Operation
These actuator valves are operated on compressed air up
to a maximum of 4 bar. This control pressure acts on the
valve cone via a diaphragm, a stem and against the action
of the pressure spring; as a result it will vary the flow rate
of the actuator. When the diaphragm system is vented the
spring will return the valve cone to its initial position.
In case of failure of the control air, the positioning valve
can be operated by the emergency manual operation.
“These actuator valves shall be mounted with the
drive towards the top. For any other position ask
before ordering.”
When they are installed in the horizontal position the
diaphragm drive must be supported in the case of the
larger valves. The pipes must be cleaned thoroughly prior
to installation in order to prevent subsequent damage to
valve seats and valves cones. The installation of a dirt
trap ahead of every actuator valve is urgently
recommended. Care must be taken during the installation
of straight-through or elbow valves to watch out for the
direction of the arrow on the valve casing. The connecting
Flanges of mixing and divider valves bear the numeral 1,
2 and 3. These must be installed properly in accordance
with the pipe system diagram. Connection number 1 is
always the common connection, while the input and
output flows are connected to number 2 and number 3.
Normally the operating pressure acting on the diaphragm
drive is 1.1 bar. In the case of actuator valves with
attached positioning relay this operating pressure can be
increased to a maximum of 4 bar depending on the type
of positioning relay and the size of the drive. The air
connection is 1 / 4” B.S.P. Copper tubing with
compression ring or clamping screw connections are
recommended for the control lines.

Maintenance
The screws on the diaphragm casing must be tightened in
the event of leaks on the diaphragm drive. If the
diaphragm drive fails to move the valve cone to its terminal
position in spite of a tight external seal and proper
adjustment of the actuator drive, leakage at the valve stem
aperture of the diaphragm may be the cause. In that case
the diaphragm cover must be removed and the valve stem
nut must be tightened. For valves with manual emergency
operation, leaks may occur on the O-ring seal of the
manual operation spindle. In that case the O-ring must be
replaced if necessary. Also, the spindle should be greased
from time to time.
The screws of the flange connections between valve
casing- gland flange and valve casing – bottom lid flange
(bottom flange in the case of mixing and divider valves)
must be tightened during operation.
In the event of leaks at the gland the cap nut of the gland
retaining mechanism must be tightened. If this is no longer
possible the gland must be repacked. After de-pressurizing
the valve and loosening the gland cap nut the plunger can
be extracted and additional packing rings installed. Care
should be taken to use the proper type of packing material
in accordance with the medium and the temperature. That
part of the valve stem which passes through the gland
must always be kept clean and lubricated with suitable
lubrications from time to time.
In the event that the sealing surfaces on valve seat and
valve cone have been damaged by dirt and foreign bodies
so that a tight seal is no longer possible, these surfaces
can be reground with the aid of a fine grinding paste.
Where valves have a teflon liner on the cone the liner is
easily inter-changeable after loosening the screws.
