Section 1 – Basic Description


The Clyde Bergemann Thermal Drain Valve (TDV) is a specially designed system used for the
removal of condensate from sootblower headers systems. We have developed a combination of
valves, temperature sensors and associated equipment to provide the best solution for removal of
water and saturated steam for optimal cleaning media.

Section 2 – System Overview


2.1 System Identification
The thermal drain valve is available in essentially four different configurations. They
would be the following:

As part of the standard scope, the thermal drain valve is also supplied with a trap to be
used as a bypass. This trap is to be used in the event that the drain valve comes down
for maintenance. However, this option may be deleted from the scope of supply and not
always supplied.

2.2 Major Components

Drain Valve – This is a metal seated ball valve that has been picked for its unique ability
to perform in this environment. As noted earlier, this valve may come with either flanged
ends or socket weld ends.

Actuator – This is a pneumatic actuator that provides the 90-degree rotation needed for
the open/close operation of the valve.

Temperature Transmitter – When the PLC controlled version of the TDV is utilized, the
temperature transmitter is used to sense the header temperature and send a signal back
to the PLC for determination (based on the set point) as to whether or not the valve should
be opened or closed. This temperature transmitter utilized a 4-20 mA signal.

Temperature Switch – When the stand-along version of the TDV is utilized, the
temperature switch is used to sense the header temperature and send the signal back to
the solenoid on the actuator. This switch is supplied with adjustable set points to control
the temperature at which the valve would open and close.

Limit Switches – The actuator is also provided with limit switches used for indication of
the open/closed status back to the PLC when this option is utilized.

Solenoid Valve – The actuator is controlled through the use of a solenoid valve. The
solenoid coil will either be energized to open the valve or de-energized to close the valve.

Trap – A trap is supplied (unless the option is not purchased) to be installed in a bypass
line around the TDV. This trap is to be utilized as a backup to the TDV.

Isolation Valves – Gate valves are supplied for installation on either side of the TDV and
Trap. Ttwo valves are to be placed on either side of the TDV and are to be opened for

TDV use. Two valves are to be placed on either side of the Trap and are to be normally
closed.

Check Valve – In order to prevent any condensate downsteam of the TDV from
accumulating or flowing towards the TDV, a check valve is installed downstream of the
drain valve and trap bypass.

2.3 Operational Philosophy


2.3.1 Stand Alone System
The stand-alone system utilized components that allow for the TDV to be operated
on its own without the use of a PLC. The drain valve is opened and closed based
upon a set point on a temperature switch that is located upstream of the drain
valve itself. Therefore, as long as the minimum temperature is met, the valve will
be closed. If the minimum temperature is not met, the valve will be open. This
cycling of the valve is totally independent of sootblower and control valve
operations.

2.3.2 PLC Operated System


This system utilized components that allow for the TDV to be operated from the
sootblower PLC (or DCS). The drain valve is opened and closed based upon a
temperature set point within the PLC. A temperature transmitter is installed
upstream of the drain valve. This temperature transmitter then sends a real time
signal back to the PLC. The PLC used this signal to make a determination as to
whether or not the drain valve should be opened or closed based on the set point.
The PLC would then perform the required operation by sending a signal to the
solenoid valve to either open or close the valve.
Also, since the drain valve is being operated by the PLC, it can be used in a role
that will allow for the most optimized use. Typically, the drain valve will be opened
before a sootblower sequence is begun. Once the drain valve has met the
minimum required temperature the drain valve would close and sootblowers would
then be allowed to run.
This valve is also supplied with limit switches that can be used to verify if the valve
is open or closed by linking them with the PLC.

2.4 System Installation


Refer to P&ID drawing for system layout)
This system is made up of components t.hat have been supplied by many manufacturers.
Included in this manual are the manufacturer’s product bulletins. Utilize these bulletins
and manuals for installation of each individual component.

2.4.1 Thermal Drain System – The drain station (encompassing all components) must
be installed downstream of the last sootblower in the piping. A good rule of thumb
is to have this setup approximately 40 to 50 feet downstream of the last sootblower
or last branch off of the main header going to a sootblower.
2.4.2 Thermal Drain Valve – The drain valve itself should be installed in the main run
between the sootblower header and the condensate tank, flash tank, etc. Refer to
the product manual in Section 4.
2.4.3 Temperature Sensor – The temperature sensor, either the temperature transmitter
or the temperature switch, should be installed approximately 10 to 20 feet
downstream of the last sootblower or last branch off of the main header going to a
sootblower. Locating it in this location will ensure that the sootblower piping is at
the proper temperature. If a temperature transmitter has been supplied, the wiring
must be brought back to the PLC. Refer to product manual in Section 4.
2.4.4 Steam Trap – The steam trap is to be installed in a bypass round the Drain Valve
and its isolation valves. Refer to product bulletin in Section 3 for installation
instructions.
2.4.5 Check Valve – The check valve is to be installed downstream of the bypass. Take
care to ensure that this valve is installed correctly to allow for condensate to drain.
If installed backwards, this valve will not allow for drainage. Refer to the product
bulletin in Section 3 for installation instructions.
2.4.6 Isolation Valves – There are 4 isolation valves. They are too installed on either
side of the drain valve and the trap. The two around the drain valve are to be
normally open. The two around the trap are to be normally closed. Refer to the
product manual in Section 4 for installation instructions.

2.5 Temperature Set Point


Utilize the following chart to determine the temperature at which the drain valve should
open and close based on header pressure. Header pressure is defined as the nominal
operating pressure for the sootblower header. For example, if the header were controlled
by a PRV, the set pressure for this PRV would be the nominal header pressure.

The SOR® Electromechanical


Temperature Switch
utilizes a vapor-pressure thermal system. Fluid vapor pressure changes
predictably according to the influence of temperature on the sensing
bulb. Process temperature changes cause proportional vapor pressure
changes in the temperature sensing bulb that act on the diaphragm/
piston assembly to actuate and deactuate a snap-action
electrical switching element at discrete process
temperatures. The instrument’s behavior is
determined by the vapor pressure principle.

Application Information
Basic models with direct and six-foot remote
temperature bulbs can be specified from the
quick selection guide on page 5.

More specific application


requirements can be met by
selecting optional components,
such as housings and electrical
switching elements,
from the balance
of the catalog.

Temperature Switches Principle

How the SOR Temperature Switch Works


The SOR temperature switch consists of a pressure switch that has a sealed temperature sensing
bulb attached directly to the pressure port. (An optional remote temperature sensing bulb can be
connected to the pressure port with an armor-clad capillary.) The temperature sensing system
is partially filled with a fluid. Process temperature changes cause proportional vapor pressure
changes in the temperature sensing bulb that act on the diaphragm/piston assembly to actuate
and deactuate a snap-action electrical switching element at discrete process temperatures. The
instrument’s behavior is determined by the vapor pressure principle. (The 105 range unit is similar,
except the fill fluid is inert gas.)

Dual (Hi-Lo)
SOR temperature switches in this catalog may be specified with two Set Points. The two Set Points
may be set at either the same actuation point or split up to full scale with no interaction between
Set Points. The Dual Hi-Lo is available with hermetically sealed, explosion proof, UL Listed and CSA
Certified electrical switching elements or with a wide selection of UL Listed and CSA Certified
snap-action switching elements for both AC and DC service. The housing selection must be V1 or
V2. See page 8.

Quick Selection Guide


Basic SOR temperature switches with standard parts are normally suitable for a variety of
industrial applications. Refer to the Quick Selection Guide section on page 5. Corrosive service
and particular customer requirements may require optional components. Refer to the How to
Order section on this page or the dedicated page to locate optional components, such as:
housings, switching elements, and accessories. Each position in the model number, except
Accessories, must have a designator.

Applications
SOR temperature switches in this catalog are suitable for a wide variety of process and fluid
power applications. Specific application requirements can normally be met by selecting optional
components, such as switching elements. Certain applications may require customized specials.
Consult area representative or the factory.
Weathertight, conventional explosion-proof and hermetically sealed, explosion-proof models are
presented in this catalog.

How to Order
Steps 1 through 4 are required; steps 5 and 6 are optional. Orders must have complete model
numbers, i.e. each component must have a designator.

Step 1: Determine if direct or remote (and capillary length) sensing is required. Select
temperature sensing bulb designator from specifications (page 6).
Step 2: Determine the adjustable range required. Select range designator, from specifications
(page 7).
Step 3: Select housing for type of service (pages 8 and 9). Note: Diaphragm designator is U9
in all cases except when a BH or BG housing is selected, then use U8 as diaphragm
designator.
Step 4: Select switching element for housing and electrical service (page 10).
Step 5: Select accessories as required for service (page 12).
Step 6: Determine if Thermowell is required. Select from tables on page 13 and order as a
separate item.
If Agency Listed, Certified or Approved temperature switches are required, see page 14 for
components that must be specified.

DRIP, TRACER: The WD600 thermodynamic steam trap is
commonly used as a drip trap on steam mains and steam Body Stainless Steel, AISI 420F
supply lines. These traps can be used on tracing applications; Disc Stainless Steel, AISI 420
however, thermostatic traps are normally recommended for Cover Stainless Steel, AISI 416
this service. Ideal for outdoor applications that are subject Insulation Cap Stainless Steel, AISI 304
to freezing and for superheated steam conditions.
HOW IT WORKS
The thermodynamic trap has cyclic on-off operation with a
disk that is pushed open by incoming condensate and closes
tightly when steam tries to escape.
F E AT U R E S Insulation
Cap
• High pressure applications up to 600 PSIG
• Hardened stainless steel seat and disc for extended service
life even at high pressure
• Single trap will operate over the entire pressure range
(3.5-600 PSIG)
• Unaffected by superheated steam
• Freezeproof when trap is piped in a vertical orientation Cover
for complete drainage of condensate
• Three hole balanced discharge extends life of the seat area
• Trap will function in any orientation (horizontal preferred) Disc
S A M P L E S P E C I F I C AT I O N
3-Hole
The steam trap shall be a thermodynamic disc type with all Balanced
stainless steel construction. Integral seat design and disc to be Discharge
hardened for long service life. Unit shall be capable of installa-
tion in any orientation and self-draining when mounted vertically.
I N S TA L L AT I O N
Trap can be installed in any position; however, horizontal is
preferred. Installation should include isolation valves and a 20
mesh strainer. Do not weld as damage can occur to the seat area.
MAINTENANCE
Dirt is the most common cause of premature failure. For full
maintenance details, see Installation and Maintenance Manual.
OPTIONS
An insulation cap is available to reduce cycle rates and steam
loss in rain, snow, or cold environments.

Union Tech
Operation & Maintenance Manual

Hornet Valve Maintenance Manual 1


08/30/02 Revision “A”
i. Field Testing

Every Union valve manufactured to ANSI B16.34 latest edition standards and
hydrostatically tested to MSS SP-61 acceptance criteria before it is released for
shipment.

a) Field Testing should not be done unless you have consulted with your
company’s safety manager. There are unforeseen safety hazards with High
Pressure Equipment that personnel should be equipped and familiar with.
Union valves can be field tested before installation providing the correct
equipment is in place. However, to keep this from being necessary, a copy
of Union’s in-house Test Report will be sent with each valve for your
Inspection and Convenience. Union will also have this Test Report on file
should anything happen to the one provided at shipment.

b) Your normal testing procedures can be implemented after the valve is in


line. **** Important **** The valve should be in the Full Open position
for shell test.

ii. Welding

Union Valves are typically supplied in one of three (3) materials; ASTM A-105,
ASTM A182 Gr. F22, and ASTM A182 Gr. F91. The Material Specification will
be engraved on the side of the valve. You must consult with your engineering
department for the proper welding guidelines for your specific type of material.

a) All valves are painted before shipment. Standard requirements on weld


preparations for cleanliness shall apply.

c) To prevent damage to the valve during welding, the valve should be placed
in the Full Open Position and the ground strap should be placed on the
same side of the valve that’s to be welded.

d) A minimum of 1/16” gap between the bottom of the socket-weld end and
the pipe-end should be maintained to prevent cracking of the weld(s).

Hornet Valve Maintenance Manual 2


08/30/02 Revision “A”
e) DO NOT EXCEED 1400°F on PWHT (Post Weld Heat Treatment).
Removal of actuator (if supplied) is highly recommended prior to any
welding.

f) DO NOT wrap the entire valve with the ceramic heat tiles during PWHT,
only the welds need to be wrapped.

iii. VALVE MAINTENANCE

Repairable
Maintenance and/or part replacement can be preformed on certain items without
removing the valve from the line. However, major repairs will require the valve
be removed from the line and returned to Union Tech Co., Inc., 11727 Veterans
Memorial Drive, Houston, Texas 77067. Please notify the Union Tech Product
Manager or your Inside Technical Sales Representative.

a) Common Maintenance Items are as follows:


1) Hand Lever
2) Shear Pin
3) Packing Gland
4) Stem Packing
5) Packing Bolts
6) Live Load Springs
7) Mounting Brackets and Hardware.

b) Unauthorized modifications to valve parts or adaption will VOID the


Manufacturer’s Warranty. Please consult Union Tech’s Product Manager
or your Inside Technical Sales Representative prior to any repairs or
modifications.

c) All personnel performing field maintenance should be familiar with the


potential risks associated with high-pressure valves as well as the valve in
particular.

d) A general drawing of the valve along with a BOM is provided later in this
manual.

e) Maintenance is to be performed only when the valve is depressurized and


cooled.

iv. DISASSEMBLY

Hornet Valve Maintenance Manual 3


08/30/02 Revision “A”
General guidelines for valve disassembly and re-assembly are as follows:

a) On valves with hand levers, note the position of the hand lever so it may
be reinstalled in the same position. (With the valve in the open position,
the hand lever should be parallel with the valve and extending outwards
toward the upstream end.)
1) Using a punch, drive the shear pin out and lift the hand lever off.

b) Note the position of the actuator in order to reinstall later.


1) Remove the bolts holding the actuator in position and set aside.
2) The stem adaption is removed by driving out the shear pin and
lifting the adaptor off of the stem.

c) Remove four (4) bolts holding the mounting bracket. Note: on valves with
an actuator, the bracket can be mounted in two (2) directions 180° apart.
Either way will work due to the line up pins keeping the bracket perfectly
aligned with the valve. On valves using hand levers, note the position of
the mounting bracket. It must be re-installed the same way for the hand
lever stops to align correctly.

d) Remove the four (4) nuts on the packing gland. Remove the live load
springs.

e) Lift the packing gland off over the stem.

f) The stem packing can be removed at this time. A pick usually works well
for this. Note: there are four (4) packing rings. They are placed on the
stem as follows. One (1) anti-extrusion ring, two (2) packing rings, and one
(1) anti-extrusion ring. Care should be given not to scar the stem or
packing bore. Scarring can cause stem leaks.

g) Clean all parts for re-assembly. Discard all the old stem packing.

h) Inspect the stem and packing gland for galling or wear. If either is
present upon inspection, please consult Union Tech’s Product
Manager or your Inside Technical Sales Representative.

v. Re-Assembly
In general, re-assembly will go in the reverse order of disassembly. However, we would
like to mention several things to look for during re-assembly.

Hornet Valve Maintenance Manual 4


08/30/02 Revision “A”
a) When installing the stem packing, the two (2) outer rings (anti-extrusion rings)
are brittle and care should be taken when sliding them over the stem and into the
packing box. Once the ring is in the packing box, you can use the gland flange to
push it farther in so the next ring can be installed more easily. Caution: The
packing installation process can cause the stem to push down and hit the ball, so
the stem may have to be pulled up once the packing process is complete.

b) After all four (4) packing rings are installed, put the packing gland in place and
install the live load springs. Two (2) springs per stud with the concave side facing
each other.

c) Once the live load springs are in place, install the nuts using anti-seize on threads
(high-temp recommended) one on each stud and torque to specifications as
follows:
1. 3/8” Nuts = 3 ft/lbs.
2. ½” Nuts = 5 ft/lbs.

d) Note: once valve is back in service, additional adjustment may be required if a


stem leak occurs.

e) After re-inserting the shear pin in the stem adaptor or hand lever, you should take
a center punch and ping the area around the outside of the pin to keep the pin
from working its way out. This should be done on both ends of the pin.

f) Note: If the stem has been turned for any reason, you can re-align the stem by
looking at a punch mark on the top edge of the stem. The punch mark should be
in line with the valve facing the down-stream side. This will place the ball in the
closed position with the mate lapped areas together.

g) Re-install hand lever or actuator and you are ready to go on line.

h) DO NOT rest the actuator on top of stem or drive stem in towards the ball.
This will cause the stem to push the ball out of sealing pocket and cause
leaks.

1-1 INTRODUCTION
UniTorq offers one of the largest ranges of pneumatic rack and pinion actuators on the market.
Unitorq actuators are designed to operate with pressurized air, but will function equally as well with hydraulic
fluid, water or inert fluids. Our actuators are designed to operate within the pressure range of 20 PSIG to 150
PSIG and are offered in two styles: the Double Acting model and the Spring Return. The double acting model
is available in 90o, 120o,135o and 180o versions. The Spring Return version is available only as a 90o model.
The double acting and spring return actuators can easily be field converted to other configurations by insertion
or removal of the unique patented UniTorq spring cartridges.
2-1 STORAGE
All UniTorq actuators are factory lubricated for 2,000,000 cycles under normal operating conditions. The
actuator ports are plugged to prevent liquids or other materials from entering the actuator during shipment. If the
actuators are to be stored for a long period of time before installation, the units should be stroked periodically to
prevent the seals from setting. (Note: the plugs must be removed in order to stroke actuator.) Storage should be
indoors and the units should be protected against humidity and other harmful elements.

The UniTorq actuator has simple operational characteristics. Port A is connected to the interior cavity
between the pistons. Port B is connected to the end cap cavities. In figure 1.A, we see allowing air to
exhaust through Port A, we have the normally closed position for the actuator. If we pressurize Port A, as in
figure 1.B, the pinion will rotate in the counter clockwise direction and we see the open position of the
actuator. (Note: in the case of air failure, spring return actuators will satisfy the conditions shown in Figures
1.A and 1.C using the stored energy of the springs.)

The UniTorq double acting actuators has simple operating charateristics. Port A is connected to
the interior cavity between the pistons. Port B is connected to the end cap cavities. In Figure 1.E, we see
that pressurizing port B we have the closed position of the actuator. If we pressurize Port A and exhaust
B, as in Figure 1.F the pinion will rotate in the counter clockwise direction and the actuator will go to it
open position. Althought the UniTorq actuator typically operates counter clockwise to open and clockwise
to close, it is possible to reverse the operational mode. Figure 1.H & 1.I show the same double acting
actuator with the piston orientation changed to convert the actuator from close clockwise to close counter
clockwise ( as discribed in Section 10-1 CCCW conversion).

4-1 ACTUATOR INSALLATION

The UniTorq actuator is designed to be easly installed. The actuator comes with an ISO bottom
mounting pattern and star broached on the pinion allowing for simpler coupling fabrication. Additional valve
mounting patterns are available upon request.

3. Install mounting bracket on to valve and hand tighten all 5/8-11
fasteners. (Be sure not to fully torque bolts until entire assembly
is correctly aligned and installed.)
4. Place coupling on valve stem and position actuator over coupling and onto mounting bracket. Align
valve and actuator assembly so as to eliminate shear forces. Tighten all assembly fasteners to the
appropriate torque.

Figure 3 shows an actuator in the
normal position (CCW operation) with
the pinion flats perpendicular to the
centerline of the actuator.

5. Actuate pneumatically several times to ensure that the coupling is not binding. If unit does not
function properly, disassemble and repeat steps 1-5, as detailed in section 5-1. If problems persist,
contact your local UniTorq representative.

6. After all mounting procedures are completed, it is necessary to set the travel stops to ensure proper
rotation. The UniTorq travel stop allows for a range of 95O to 85O. If a larger range is necessary,
consult section 12-1 for information on extended travel limit stops. NOTE: IMPROPER SETTING
OF TRAVEL STOPS CAN REDUCE ACTUATOR'S LIFE.
7. Rotate valve assembly to desired position. (It is best to consult valve I & M sheet to determine the
correct set point for the valve.)

8. Loosen both sealing nuts. Torque travel stops until the stops contact the pistons. Be sure not to alter
the valve position while setting the travel stops. Torque the sealing nuts until secure. Retest actuator to
assure that there are no end cap air leaks.

5-1 DISASSEMBLY PROCEDURE

1. Disconnect all electrical and air supplies from the actuator.

CAUTION:
NEVER DISASSEMBLE AN ACTUATOR THAT IS UNDER PRESSURE

2. Remove actuator from mounting bracket and coupling (limit switches and positioners when applicable)
and place in clean environment.

3. Match the actuator and end caps, allowing for the correct reassembly of the actuator.
NOTE: IF THE END CAPS ARE NOT REPLACED WITH THE CORRECT
ORIENTATION, THE ACTUATOR WILL NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY. END
CAPS MUST BE REINSTALLED WITH "UP" SIDE ON TOP.

4. Remove the eight socket head cap screws and remove end caps.

5
5. Remove O-Rings from end cap. (Note: if actuator has not been in service, it will be necessary
to replace the O-Ring set.)

6. Rotate pinion in Counter Clockwise direction (Note: if


unit is a CCCW, rotation will be in opposite direction)
until pistons are far enough from cylinder to be removed
by hand. If pistons are too difficult to remove by hand,
it is acceptable to use a pair of pliers to assist in their
removal. (Note: be sure not to scar the surface of pistons.)
Remove both pistons, noting the orientation of the pistons,
so that during reassembly the pistons will be replaced in the
same orientation. (Figure 4.) Figure 4
This figure shows the actuator pinion
rotated until pistons disengage
from pinion gears.

7. Remove snap ring and delrin washer from top of pinion.


Place the actuator between two blocks of wood so that the
pinion is free to be removed through the bottom of the
actuator body. Using a rubber mallet, lightly tap the top of
the pinion. When the pinion is loose from the body remove
the pinion through the bottom (Figure 5).

Figure 5

This figure demonstrates the


removal of pinion through the
bottom of the actuator.

8. If Actuator has been in service the following components should be replaced. The O-Rings and guide
kits contains the following items: (Note: a repair kit contains both the O-Ring set and the guide set.)

5-2 LOW TEMPERATURE O-RING INSTALLATION

1. Disassemble actuator as described in section 5-1.

2. Using a flat head screwdriver, remove the O-Rings from the various actuator components:
(See section 16-1 for actuator parts list.)
a. Piston O-Rings (2 places)
b. End Caps (2 places)
c. Upper Pinion O-Ring (1 place)
d. Lower Pinion O-Ring (1 place)
e. Air Passage O-Ring (2 places)

3. Using mineral spirits (or other mild solvent), remove the lubrication from each actuator component.
(Note: clean all surfaces thoroughly prior to installation of new O-Ring set.)

4. Separate O-Rings and determine the locations for installation:


a. Piston O-Rings: will be the thickest O-Rings (2 pieces), (See Note.)
b. End Cap O-Rings: will have the largest O-Ring diameter (2 pieces), (See Note.)
c. Pinion O-Rings: of the 4 remaining O-Rings, the largest is installed in the lower pinion
O-Ring groove. The second largest is installed in the upper pinion O-Ring groove.
d. Air passage seals: the last 2 O-Rings are installed between the end cap and the actuators
internal air passage.

(Note: if these O-Rings are not properly seated, they may be pinched during reassembly and
subsequently leak.)

5. Install low temperature O-Ring set. If the O-Rings are difficult to install, the O-Rings may be slightly
stretched and lubricated to ease installation. (Note: be sure to use the lubricant provided when
lubricating the O-Rings.) When installing the end cap O-Rings, be sure to seat the O-Ring properly.

6. Apply lubricant to the internal portions of the actuator:


a. Inner bore of actuator.
b. Piston wear surfaces (piston skate, piston bearing & piston O-Ring).
c. Piston rack (apply on the full length of the piston rack).
d. Pinion gear teeth.
e. Pinion wear surfaces and O-Rings (both upper and lower areas).

7. Assemble actuator as described 6-1.

7
6-1 REASSEMBLY PROCEDURE

1. Inspect all wear surfaces for excessive wear or possible damage.

CAUTION:
BE SURE THAT ALL PARTS ARE STILL WITHIN FACTORY SET
TOLERANCES BEFORE REASSEMBLY

2. Make sure all metallic parts are clean and free of any nicks or burrs.

3. Install O-Rings (and wear surface skates and bearings when applicable) on pistons, end caps
and pinion.

4. Lubricate the inside bore of the cylinder, O-Rings, piston skate, piston guides, pinion bearing
with compatible lubricant. In the case of a low temperature application (i.e. below
0o F), consult UniTorq for correct lubricant type. NOTE: ALL O-RINGS SHOULD BE
REPLACED AS A MATTER OF POLICY IF THE ACTUATOR HAS BEEN IN
SERVICE.

5. Insert pinion into actuator body. Install pinion washer and snap ring.

6. Insert pistons into cylinder body until the pistons begin to mesh with the pinion. Make sure that
the pistons are symmetrically placed inside the cylinder body. This is very important. Be sure that tooth
engagement is even on both pistons. If the pistons are not tracking properly remove and reinsert
pistons.

7. Apply equal pressure on each piston until they are fully engaged with the pinion. Rotate pinion until
actuator is fully closed.

8. Check the top of pinion for correct orientation. If the pinion flats are
perpendicular to the cylinder body then proceed to the next step.
(Note: For CCCW applications, the pinion flats should be parallel to
the cylinder body.) If the pinion is incorrectly positioned, as demonstrated
in figure 6, then proceed to part 8b.

12. Pressurize Port B (Fig 1A-1D) on actuator body to test for air leaks. Leaks can occur around pinion
and between end cap and body mating surfaces. If an air leak is found near the end cap, remove end
cap and check for proper O-Ring seating. If O-Rings appear to be in good condition, repeat step 11.

7-1 SPRING INSTALLATION
UniTorq actuators have the unique ability to be field converted from Double Acting to a Spring Return
actuator very easily by adding the spring configuration inside the end caps. (Note: refer to the instructions
below.) The UniTorq actuator can accept up to 6 cartridge springs in each end cap, but not less than 2 spring
cartridges per end cap. The number of cartridge springs loaded into the actuator affects the amount of torque
the actuator will be able to generate during the closing and opening cycles. Review sections 11-X on actuator
sizing for correct procedures in selecting spring combinations.

1. Match mark cylinder body and end caps to ensure proper assembly. NOTE: COUNT OUT THE
CORRECT NUMBER OF SPRINGS TO BE USED BEFORE DISASSEMBLY IS
PERFORMED.

2. Remove end caps. (Count out correct number of springs before attempting to convert unit.)

correct spring locations for the left and right end caps.

8-1 SOLENOID VALVE CHARACTERISTICS

UniTorq direct mount Solenoid Valves are permenitly lubricated and are designed for long life.
These solenoid valves are specially designed to be easy installed on pneumatic actuators. The solenoids
come equipped with BUNA O-Rings to seal the valve ports to the actuator body.

Operation:

Single Coil Dual Coil

10
Single Coil Solenoids:
Port 1 is the supply port and ports 3 and 5 are the exhaust ports for both the dual coil and single
coil types. The exhaust port may be equipped with silencers or speed controls to control the actuation
speed. Ports A and B are the actuator input ports. In the normal position air goes from the supply port
(port 1) to port B. During solenoid activation the flow will be from the supply port to port A.

Dual Coil Solenoids:


Dual coil solenoids can be operated in two different modes.

Mode 1: Energize solenoid A to connect the Supply Port to Port A. The spool which directs the air
flow will respond in less than one second. After the spool has adopted its new position the coil can be de-
energized. To direct the air flow to Port B engergize solenoid B which can also be de-engergized after the
spool has been moved.
Mode 2: All of the prevous conditions apply except that the coil moving the spool can be left
energized. The only important consideration is that YOU MUST DE-ENERGIZE COIL A BEFORE ENERGIZING
COIL B. The converse is also true. De-energize Coil B before energizing Coil A.

12
Manual Override:
The UniTorq solenoid valve comes equipped with a manual override. A small red lever located
between the valve body and the coil positioned perpendicular to the long axis of the valve body allows for the
overriding of the solenoid if necessary. The normal position for the switch will be perpendicular to the long
axis of the valve body. A 900 rotation of the level in the counter clockwise direction will manually override the
solenoid in the disengaged posistion until the level is returned to its original position.

Solenoid Classification:
The UniTorq solenoid valve is designed to the NEMA 4 and 4X standards. The UniTorq solenoid
valve can be adapted to the 7 and 9 classifications by installing a special solenoid on the standard valve body.

NEMA 4, 4X: Watertight and Dust tight - indoor & outdoor. Protects against windblown dust, rain, splashing
water and hose directed water and is corrosion resistant.
NEMA 7, 9: All of the above standard plus: Class I & Class II, indoor hazardous locations, explosion proof.
Which includes groups A, B, C, D, E, F, and G.

Specifications:
1. SV1 NAMUR 4 Way NEMA 4 solenoid valve with standard namur mount (M10 - M3720)
Specifications:
Nominal Voltage: 110 VAC +/- 10%
Port Dimensions: Port 1 = 1/4" NPT (Ports 3 & 5 = 1/8")
Power: 60 Hz AC at 3.3 Watts
Pressure Range: Min - 29 psi. / Max - 145 psi.
CV Factor: 9

In addition to these two basic models UniTorq also offers a NEMA 4, 7, and 9 upgrade for explosion proof
applications. The UniTorq explosion proof solenoid can easily be mounted to the standard UniTorq valve block
with the addition of a spacer block and a valve adapter kit.

2. SV1 NAMUR 4 Way NEMA 4, 7, and 9 solenoid valve with Namur Mounting

8-3 SOLENOID VALVE INSTALLATION - EXPLOSION PROOF

The UniTorq solenoid valve can be converted to comply with the NEMA 7 & 9 standard by adding an
explosion proof coil.

Figure 11

Exploded view

1. Choose the appropriate sized direct mount solenoid valve: Remove lock nut to enable coil removal.

2. Affix solenoid valve (with spacer block in place) to side of actuator. (Note: be sure that all 4 O-Rings
remain in the O-Ring grooves and are not pinched.)

3. Tighten Coil adapter. (Note: coil adapter should be tight against adapter plate collar.) Replace coil and
lock nut. (Note: do not tighten lock nut until conduit assembly is complete.)

4. Install Nema 7 rated conduit. See figure 12 for typical conduit installation.

5. Prior to tightening lock nut, be sure the conduit assembly


is not exerting excessive load on the solenoid valve.

CAUTION:
THE SOLENOID VALVE SHOULD NOT BE
SUBJECTED TO A TORQUE GREATER THAN
800 IN-LBS BY THE CONDUIT ASSEMBLY. Figure 12

9-1 SPEED CONTROL DEVICES

UniTorq actuators are designed to enable the user to obtain the lowest possible cycle time. In some
instances, it is desirable to enable the actuator to cycle more slowly than the standard speed. In these cases a
speed control device is necessary. UniTorq can provide speed controls to obtain varying cycle times.

When using speed controls, coat the speed control threads with pipe sealing compound prior to
installation to avoid air leakage. The cycle time can be changed by loosening the speed control nut and then
tightening or loosening the adjustment screw. To increase cycle time, tighten the adjustment screw. To
decrease the cycle time, loosen the adjustment screw. (Note: be sure to tighten the speed control nut prior to
commencing operation.)

10-1 CCW TO CCCW CONVERSION


UniTorq actuators typically come from the factory as Closed Clock-wise (CCW) units. In the event
that the actuator needs to be changed from CCW to a Closed Counter Clock-wise (CCCW) actuator.
UniTorq actuators can be easily field converted to this configuration.

1. Remove end caps, pistons and the pinion as described in the disassembly procedure. Prior to
reassembly, rotate both pistons 180o along the long axis of the piston. (See Figure 14.)
Upon rotation of pistons, reassebly can be accomplished by following the reassembly
instruction in Section 6-1 Steps 1-12 of this manual.

Figure 14 14.a 14. b


Figure 14.a roates to position
14.b for conversion of actuator
from CCW to CCCW

NOTE: REPLACE SPRINGS PRIOR TO TESTING IF NECESSARY

15
2. After this procedure has been accomplished, you should be able to put air into the right air
port and move the actuator counter clock-wise. When air is placed in the left port, the actuator
now rotates in the clockwise direction.

11-1 ACTUATOR SIZING

Prior to actual sizing; it is important to obtain certain information. Key numbers to obtain are as follows:

• Torque required to open the valve (Break Torque)

• Torque required to close: the valve (Seating Torque)

• Torque required to rotate the valve (Running Torque)

• Supply-air pressure (To Actuator)

• Differential Pressure of Valve/Damper

Obtaining the above information allows you to properly and effectively size the actuator. (Note: double
acting actuators have a constant torque throughout their stroke. When determining the air supply pressure, it
is important that you use the minimum air pressure that the actuator will experience and not the average air
supply pressure. If an actuator is supplied by a lower air pressure than it is sized for, failure or improper
performance will occur.)
UniTorq offers a Windows based sizing program for double acting and spring return actuators to make
sizing easier. Please refer to your local sales representive for more information or to obtain the latest
edition.
11-2 DOUBLE ACTING ACTUATORS

1. Select the largest torque (opening or closing torque) and increase that number by 10%.
(Note: adding 10% will ensure an acceptable factor of safety. The data published in
the sizing table indicates the actuator's maximum capability for a given pressure.)

2. Look in the column that corresponds to the supply pressure, you have selected. Move down
the chart until you have found a torque which is larger than the torque determined for your
application. After you have found the correct value move across the table horizontally to
determine the correct actuator.

11-3 SPRING RETURN ACTUATORS

1. Multiply both your valve closing torque and your valve opening torque by 20%. (This
will provide an acceptable factor of safety.) NOTE: THE VALVE CLOSING TORQUE
CORRESPONDS TO THE SPRING END COLUMN AND THE VALVE OPENING
TORQUE CORRESPONDS TO THE ACTUATOR AIR PRESSURE COLUMN.

16
Example: Given information-Valve opening torque (VOT) = 800 in-lbs.
Valve closing torque (VCT) =750 in-lbs.
1. Increase by 20% + VOT = 960in-lbs : 20% + VCT = 900in-lbs
2. Refer to table below:
Column 1 Column 2
Model Type Supply Pressure Spring Stroke
80 Psi Torque
Table 6 Air Stroke Torque
Sizing Sample
Chart K3 1690 (in-lbs) 774 (in-lbs)

M295 K4 1283 1033

K5 876 1290
NOTE: THIS TABLE IS AN EXCERPT FROM THE SIZING CHART
PROVIDED BY UNITORQ.

2. To satisfy all conditions of this application we compare the VOT to the column 1 and the VCT to
column 2. Since the M295 K4 satisfies both conditions, we select this actuator.

12-1 EXTENDED FINAL LIMIT STOPS

The UniTorq line of actuators also includes a special feature called the extended final limit stop. This
feature allows for the adjusting of the total amount of rotation of an actuator. To install this feature, perform
the following steps: (Note: be sure to follow the disconnection procedure outlined in section 5-1.)

1. Remove the sealing nut and end stop from both end caps. Sealing nuts have a small groove
cut into the bottom to allow for the sealing O-Ring to be seated. Be sure to replace the
O-Ring when replacing the sealing nut.

2. After disassembly, install the extended limit stops in the manner described in the installation
section 4-1, parts 6 through 8. (Note: this information refers to the travel stops, but in
this configuration the travel stops and the extended limit stops act in the same manner.)

17
13-1 DOUBLE LIMIT STOPS

The new DLS configuration allows for quicker and safer stroke travel adjustment with no increase in external
dimensions or additional caps. Adjustments are easier than ever before with improved strength and
performance.

The new DLS actuator allows for approximately 5 degrees of stroke over-travel in each direction. The
effective operation of the actuator is now -50 to 950, with adjustment of over 100 at either end of travel. This
will allow the user to fine tune the actuator for optimal valve performance and life.

The travel stops are located at the end caps. Facing the actuator with the air ports nearest to you the open
(piston in) travel stop is located on the left. The closed (piston out) travel stop is on the right end cap. It is the
gold zinc plated nut. To adjust the open position simply back off the lock nut and turn the setscrew in
clockwise (CW) to reduce travel or out counter clockwise (CCW) to inverse travel. To set the close stop,
loosen the locknut on the right side travel stop and screw it set screw inwards, clockwise (CW), to increase
travel or outwards, counter clockwise (CCW), to decrease the travel.

2.12  Material Compatibility


It is significant that forged valve materials and lubricants used in
construction be chemically consistent or compatible with the con-
necting piping system components, line fluids, applications and the
environment. Flowserve, or the system design engineers, should be
consulted whenever there appears to be reason for such concern.

4.11  Testing and Adjustment


It is reasonable to assume that a valve that has been properly
inspected and installed will be in good condition and ready to
operate. However, the actual operability of a valve can only be
proved by testing.

A first observation can be made by actuating the valve through an


open-close-open or close-open-close cycle. If no obvious problems
are observed, an actual test at pressure may then be applied while
tightness and operability are checked.

It is common practice, after the installation of a piping system,


to clean the system by blowing through the system with a gas or
steam or flushing with a liquid to remove debris and/or internal
protective films and coatings. It should be recognized that valve
cavities may form a natural trap in a piping system and material not
dissolved or carried out by the flushing fluid may settle in such cavi-
ties and adversely affect valve operation.

5.18  Disc and Seat Figure 6


Leakage through the seat and disc is not always easy to detect, but
when definitely known to exist, immediate repair is recommended
since delay may permanently damage the disc, seat or both.

The internal repair of gate valves 2" and smaller is usually found to
be uneconomical. However, if a gate valve is disassembled for in-
spection or cleaning, care should be taken when removing the wedge
to note and mark its orientation with respect to the valve body so
that when the wedge is reinserted in the valve, it will have precisely
the same relationship to the seats that it had in the original assembly.

The seat threads in angle, globe, and check valve bodies should be
carefully inspected to make sure they are in useable condition. When
Stem
installing new seats by using proper seat tools, the seats should be
screwed tightly into the valve body, then unscrewed and examined
to make sure they are making continuous contact for tight seal. Bushing

surfaces sufficiently to permit tight closure. Defects deeper than
Washer
0.010" can seldom be corrected by lapping, but seating surfaces
can be remachined or new parts installed. For relapping the seat and Seat
disc of Vogt globe, angle, or check valves, use a fine and a coarse
grade emery base compound such as Clover Compound A and D.
Apply a light coat of fine, or A, compound to the seating surface of
the disc or one-piece stem, insert disc or one-piece stem into seat,
and lap using an oscillating motion. Lap a few minutes and then Body
wipe seating surfaces clean. This will clearly show the extent of
damage. If severe damage is noted, use the coarse, or D, compound
and lap until all defects are removed. Then finish with the fine, or A,
compound. It is recommended that the face of the disc be “blued” to Figure 7
check for contact between seating surfaces after final lapping.

Globe and angle valves require a lapping guide fixture to maintain Adapter
alignment during the lapping operation. A fixture as shown in Figure
6 may be made or, for O.S. and Y. valves, a valve bonnet with yoke
nut removed may be used. For relapping loose disc globe valves, Disc
place a washer between the disc and head of the stem and retighten
the disc nut, as shown in Figure 6.

Vogt piston check valves require an adapter to screw or mate into


the piston for lapping the piston seating surface to the seat. The
bore of the valve body serves as a guide for lapping, see Figure 7.
Ball check valves are primarily used for fluids of high viscosity and
the rolling action of the ball maintains seating surfaces in good
condition until ball size or ball guide is worn and replacement parts
are needed.
