Spare parts, Rev. no. Delivery Applications with auxiliary functions

See overview, page 11. Ball valves and rotary actuators are supplied in separate packaging and not assembled prior to delivery. If a ball valve application requires a rotary actuator with auxiliary functions (for example switch or potentiometer), a standard actuator with a corresponding function can be used. In this case, a mounting set ASK77.. is required in addition to the rotary actuator. For assembly please consult mounting instructions accordingly.

Cavitation

Cavitation accelerates wear on the ball and seat, and also results in undesirable noise. Cavitation can be avoided by not exceeding the differential pressure shown in the flow diagram on page 4, and by adhering to the static pressures shown below.

From the diagram above, it will be seen that with the ball valve almost closed, the maximum permissible differential pressure pmax is 200 kPa (2 bar). Note on chilled water To avoid cavitation in chilled water circuits, ensure sufficient counter-pressure at the ball valves outlet, e.g. with an additional throttling ball valve downstream from the ball valve. Select the maximum differential pressure across the ball valve according to the 80 C curve in the flow diagram above.

Commission the ball valve only if the rotary actuator has been mounted correctly.

Maintenance VAI60.. and VBI60.. ball valves are maintenance-free. Warning When doing service work on the ball valve / rotary actuator: Deactivate the pump and turn off the power supply Close the shutoff ball valves Fully reduce the pressure in the piping system and allow pipes to completely cool down If necessary, disconnect the electrical wires. Before putting the ball valve into operation again, make sure the rotary actuator is correctly fitted. Disposal Before disposal, the ball valve must be dismantled and separated into its various constituent materials. Legislation may demand special handling of certain components, or it may be sensible from an ecological point of view. Current local legislation must be observed. Warranty The technical data given for applications is valid only in conjunction with the Siemens rotary actuators listed under "Equipment combinations", page 2. All terms of the warranty will be invalidated if rotary actuators of other manufacture are used.
