DRAWING, 205 Forage Ave PO Box 578, Thee River, Ml 45088 US.A The Schroedahl Automatic Recirculation Valve series offers the highest state of the art for centrifugel pump recircu- lation control systems. with 25 years experience, i.e., from the original patent of the self-contained unit to the latest product improvements, the Schroedahl series continue to provide the customer's system with the proper equipment. APPLICATION: Minimum Flow Recirculation for pump protection. During critical low-load operating periods, centrifugal pumps require a dependable minima flow recirculation system to prevent overheating and unstable operation. Previously, these systems have been comprised of multiple components including flow or pressure sensing devices, signal controllers, check valves, pressure dissipating devices and diverting control valves. This resulted in systems that were both complex and costly, requiring sizable expenditures for design, in- stallation, and maintenance, while Providing marginal performance. The Schroedahl ARV series offers an economic alternative to the above out- lined recirculation system. The ARV series is a self-contained, automatic flow regulating device encompassing all the components of the conventional, minimum flow system in a single valve. FEATURES: The ARV is a compact design offering several features nonmally associated only with separate components. ‘The main body is comprised of a lifting disc check valve to prevent reverse flow through the pump. Motion of the check valve regulates directly the flow to the bypass section. Selection of the correct bypass depends on the flow and pressure requirements of the pump and process. Bypass options are detailed on page two (2). Pulsation dampening device is mounted on top of the main check valve to eliminate pulsation. Use of the ARV reduces power costs, saves on system engineering and mainte- nance costs, and reduces down time, as well as the primary function of purp protection. PRINCIPLE OF OPERATI ‘The ARV, just as a check valve, is installed in the pump main discharge line. As pump output decreases, flow across valve also decreases, resulting in a reduction of dynamic forces acting on the spring loaded disc. when these dynamic forces become less than the spring forces, the disc or check valve portion begins to seat. It is important to note that the seating begins while there is still a positive flow, thus protecting against reverse flow. ‘SPECIFICATIONS: The ARV is available in carbon, alloy, or stainless steel, and rated by ANSI pressure classes up to 4500f. Material: are of the highest quality and selected to minimize the effects of erosion and corrosion. 215 Forage Ave, P.O. Box 37S, Thee Rivers, MI 49093 US.A Phone: (616) 9.2085.

Bo Phone 616 2 Three River, M4908 US.A ne (19) 706745 INSTALLATION: ‘The pump recirculation control valve, ‘TD series, is best mounted on the discharge connection of the pump, in a vertical position with the flow direction upward. NOTE: The vertical installation is considered standard. Horizontal installation is acceptable but the valve must be ordered as such. These valves are fitted with a hard liner in the check valve area to prevent excessive wear due to the weight of the check valve. If not mounted directly to the pump flange, the distance between the valve inlet and pump outlet should not exceed five (5) feet. This is important so that low frequency pulsations due to the elasticity of the fluid are prevented. The outlet should be connected to piping such that a minimum of 14" clearance is available to allow lifting of the upper housing after the flange bolts have been removed. This allows access to the valve internals without dismount- ing the lower housing. BYPASS CONNECTION: The bypass Line should be connected to the side flange. Provide a 12" spool piece to facilitate the removal of the bypass section. The bypass internals can then be inspected or removed. NOTE: Be careful to install the correct valve for each application. Fach valve is sized for a specific set of operating conditions. Valves, even of the sane size, are usually not interchangeable. Contact HBE Engineering, Inc. at (616) 279-2035 if any field conditions should change. On each valve body a special nutber starting with the letter "K" is hammered into the body. Please check this number before contacting HBE Engineering, Inc. ‘START UP: Prior to start up, the valve should be inspected for mechanical damage. Observe proper operation of the valve by closing the discharge valve on the outlet of the pump. A flow should be noticed through the bypass piping. Open the discharge valve again to establish a no-flow condition in the bypass. NOTE: The shut off valve in the bypass should always be opened first during start up and closed last during shut down. ‘MAINTENANCE: Periodically check the correct opera- tion of the valve. Proceed as de- scribed in the above section. INSPECTION: Disassemble and inspect the valve, depending on the condition, at least onde a year. Due to the fact that fluids are of different natures, we recommend that the bypass valve be inspected after the start up procedure. After this, clean fluids once per year, contaminated fluids depending on the contamination, every 345 months. SPARE PARTS: A parts list is enclosed. It is reconmended to stock a set of spare parts (see list) and an extra set of seals. 208 Porage Ave, P.O. Box 375, Thee Rives, Ml 47098 USA Phone: 615 29.2088 Fax (66) 2784745, Install Schrocdahl ARV on pump outlet if possible, but not further than 5' away from pump outlet. In case installation is further away than 5*, call HBE Engineering, Inc. for installation instruc- tions (616) 279-2035. In case bypass orifice plates are supplied, install these on the inlet of the bypass line entrance to the feed tank. In case start up orifices were not part of the supply, renove bypass valve during cleaning of the systems. CONTROL VALVES CAN BE DAMAGED BY CONTAMINATED LIQUID. CLEAN SYSTEM WELL BEFORE OPERATING THE AUTOMATIC RECIRCULATING VALVE. In case isolation valves are installed to isolate the pump and recirculating valve, the following start up and shut down Procedures should be used: START UP: a. Open bypass line isolation valve. b. Open suction side and outlet side isolation valves. Close suction side and outlet side isolation valves. Close bypass line isolation valve. 208 Forage Ave, P.O Box hone (66) 2 Thee River, Ml 49098 USA. 18 O-AS ABE moneranc ASSEMBLY AND DISASSEMBLY ‘The automatic recirculating valve Model TDM (called hereafter TDM) is usually installed vertically, with the mainflow upward, and directly on the pump discharge flange. The bypass housing is connected to the bypass piping (and the piping consequently to the feedwater tank) so that a recirculation flow will be possible. Other installation positions of the valve (horizontal, upside-down) are possible, if so ordered only. No special tools are required for the installation, assembly or disassembly of the valve. INSTALLATION AT THE JOBSITE In order to prevent damage to the flange finish and/or the bolts, the complete valve should be installed in the piping, free of tension/stress. DISASSEMBLY OF THE ‘TIM Remove the TON fram the piping system. Disassemble bypass housing Pos. 09. Pull the bypass trim "M” out of the assambly carefully. Apply a screwdriver between the collar of the control head (Pos. 11) and the valve body (Pos. 1). Remove the upper body (Pos. 2) from the lower body (Pos. 1) by loosening the hexagon nuts (Pos. 28). The check valve (Pos. 7) and spring (Pos. 6) can now be removed from the ower body (Pos. 28). Clean all parts and check for any damages. In case of damaged seats (check valve seat or bypass seat), this should be repaired by lapping the respective parts on the seats. Replace ring (Pos. 30) as required. ASSEMBLY OF THE TDM Replace the check valve (Pos. 5/7) with the spring (Pos. 6) in the lower body (Pos. 1). Now the upper body (Pos. 2) is placed on the lower body (Pos. 1) and the hexagon nuts (Pos. 28) are tightened. Carefully insert the bypass section "M" in the valve body and ascertain that lever (Pos. 13) fits (slides) in the slot in the check valve (Pos. 5/7). ‘The bypass housing (pos. 9) with the bypass orifice (Pos. 23) is now carefully replaced and tightened to the housing (Pos. 1) with the hexagon nuts (Pos. 29). onage Ave. PO.
