3.0 Handling
3.1 Storage
- Storage temperature -20 to +65C dry, free of dirt
- The painting is only a primer, intending to guard against rust during stock or transportation. Dont
damage the paintwork.
- A desiccant or heating to prevent condensation is necessary in damp rooms.

3.2 Transport
- Transport temperature -20 to +65C.
- Protect against external force (impact, vibration etc.).
- Dont damage the paintwork.

3.3 Handling Before Installation


- If flange covers are fitted, remove shortly before maintenance!
- Protect against atmospheric conditions e.g. wetness (applicate a desiccant).
- Correct handling protects against damage.

4.0 Description
4.1 Scope of Applications
These control valves are suitable for controlling the flow of liquids, gases and vapours in chemical and
other processing plants and for plant engineering.
The materials have been selected and matched on the basis of current DIN, AD, TRD and UVV rules.
The mechanical and flow characteristics conform to standard DIN EN 60534.
The engineer planning a plant is responsible for selecting the correct valve for a given application. The
special features of the valve concerned must be taken into account.
Oil and grease free
for oxygen application
- Valves for oxygen application (O2) have a fixed plate.
- Valves for Ammonia (NH3)

acc. to TRD 451-452

must be free from nonferrous metals


with flanges DIN 2512 form N.
acc. to TRB 801 No.34 for ammonia storage tank systems, bodies with
shoed ends must be stress-relief-annealed.
- ARI-Valves of GG-25 are not allowed in systems acc. to TRD 110.
- Valves for inflammable, aggressive or toxic media, must be off tensile material.
- With applications for media that demand special criteria, please consult.
-marking for applications acc. to Pressure Equipment Directive.

4.2 Operating Principles


ARI control valves are especially suitable for actuation by pneumatic or electrical actuators.
Three plug types are available to suit the various applications:
parabolic plug (standard pattern)
perforated plug
V-port plug
The flow through control valves with parabolic and V-port plugs is always against the closing direction. In
the case of control valves with perforated plugs, gases and vapours flow against the closing directions, but
liquids flow through in the closing direction.
If a pneumatic actuator is to be used on a straight-way valve with a perforated plug with the fluid moving
in the closing direction, a higher closing force will be needed. This is to prevent vibration as the plug
approaches the closed position.
Pressure-balanced plugs can be provided if the actuator force is inadequate.

5.0 Installation
5.1 General Notes on Installation
The following points should be taken into account besides the general principles governing installation
work:
- Remove flange covers if present.
- There must be no foreign bodies inside the valve or piping.
- Pay attention to the direction of flow: see markings on the valve and refer to the operation and installation
instructions (point 4.2).
- Centre sealings between the flanges.
- Connection flanges must mate exactly.
- If the valve is handling steam, the piping must be laid with a gradient to prevent water from accumulating
in pockets. Condensation traps are needed to prevent water-hammer.
- All parts must be free from stress after installation.
- The valve must not serve as a fixed point. It must be carried by the piping.
- Protect the valve from dirt, especially during construction work. Strainers or filters shoud be installed
before the valves.
- Install compensators to compensate for thermal expansion of the piping.
- Keep the thread and shaft of the spindle free from paint.

5.2 Requirements at the Place of Installation


The place of installation should be easily accessible and provide ample space for maintenance and
removing the actuator. Stopvalves shoud be installed before and after the controlvalve to enable
maintenance working without draining the piping system. The valve should preferably installed vertically
with the actuator at the top. Inclined or horizontal installation without supports is permissible only with
light actuators.
For this installallation position, the two distance columns (or joke) have to be above each other in the
verical plane.
Pipeline
Pipeline
horizontally
vertically

Permissible servo weights for valves with unsupported horizontal spindles:


20 kg for DN 15 - 32
25 kg for DN 40 - 65
35 kg for DN 80 - 100
The pipes must be lagged to protect the actuators from excessive heat. Sufficient space must be left for the
maintenance of the spindle packing.
To ensure that the control valves function correctly, the pipe run should be straight for at least
2 x DN upstream and 6 x DN downstream of the valve.

Control Valves Fig. 440-446
5.3 Installation Instructions Concerning Actuators
Normally, control valves are supplied complete with actuator fitted.
It is not permitted to mantle / dismantle actuators with valves operating and service conditions
(temperature and pressure) (see 2.3). The actuators must be assemble as describe in the operating
instructions during conversion and maintenance.
During assembly work, the plug is not be turned on its seating at closing pressure.

Caution!
Care must be taken with the bellow type valves when actuators are mounted or removed. Hold the valvespindle against turning with an open-end wrench.
When retrofitting actuators, the maximum permissible force for valve actuation must be taken into
account.
The maximum permissible actuation forces are:
Fig. 440 / 445
12 kN for DN 15 - 50
29 kN for DN 65 - 100

Fig. 441 / 446


18 kN for DN 15 - 100

6.0 Notes on Dangers During Installation, Operation and Maintenance


DANGER !
Operation can be completely safe only if the valve is properly installed, put into operation and maintained
by trained personnel (cf. point 2.3 Qualified personnel) paying full attention to the warnings in these
operating instructions. In addition, the general installation and safety rules for piping and plant installation
must be observed, and appropriate tools and safety equipment are to be used. Strict attention must be paid
to the operating instructions during all work on the valve and when handling it. Injury or damage can be
caused by ignoring them.
When used as an end-blockage, a safety precaution is recommended by maintenance works.

7.0 Putting the Valve into Operation


- Before putting the valve into operation, check that the material, pressure, temperature and direction of
flow are as specified with the plans of the piping system.
- Regard the TRB 700.
- Residues in piping and valves (dirt, weld beads, etc.) inevitably lead to leakage.
DANGER !
Before putting a new plant into operation or restarting a plant after repairs or modification, always make
sure that:
- All installation and assembly work has been completed!
- Only qualfied personnel (see point 2.3) are employed to start the plant!
- The valve is in the correct position for its function!
- Existing guards have been attached and in good order.

Operating and Installation Instructions


Pneumatic Actuators

4.0 Description
4.1 Scope of Applications
The pneumatic actuators are to be mounted on the top of valves and are necessary to operate the
valves (spindle movement) under service conditions.
The units are suitable for being employed in control systems used in the chemical industry.
The actuator units can achieve a high positioning force after only a short control time and fulfil all
the demands of the explosion safety regulations without additional measures needing to be taken.

4.2 Setup and Operating Mode


By means of the pneumatic actuator units, pneumatic control signals are converted into a translatory
motion. The necessary restoring force is generated by means of the compression springs on the bulk
of the diaphragm plate.
In case of air fall-off, the actuator will be restored by means of the spring force in the starting
position.
The operating mode of the actuator is the following:
Spindle moving out(on air failure)
or
Spindle moving in(on air failure)
This operation is obtained and dependent on the assembly of the springs.
By using a rolling diaphragm, linear rod forces during long lifts can be obtained.
