Series KSE/F, KSE-C/F 2 Page 5 Safety This operating manual contains fundamental information which is to be observed during installation, operation and maintenance. It must therefore be read before installation and commissioning! For valves which are used in potentially explosive areas, see Section 3. Installation and operation are to be performed by qualified staff. The area of responsibility, authority and supervision of the staff must be regulated by the customer.
Series KSE/F, KSE-C/F 3 Page 6 Safety notes for applications in potentially explosive areas based on the Directive 94/9/ EC (Atex 95) The valves are intended for use in a potentially explosive area and are therefore subject to the conformity assessment procedure of the directive 94/9/EC (ATEX).
Series KSE/F, KSE-C/F 4 Page 7 Safety note for valves, certified to Clean Air Act (TA Luft) On request, this valve can be supplied compliant with the German Clean Air Code. Certificate / Manufacturer Declaration Validity is dependent on the operating instructions being read and observed. 5 Transport, storage and disposal It is imperative, for all transport work, to observe generally accepted engineering practice and the accident prevention regulations. The safety valve is supplied with flange caps.
Series KSE/F, KSE-C/F 5.3 Storage If the valve is not installed immediately after delivery, it must be put into proper storage. It should be stored in a in a dry, vibration-free and well ventilated room at as constant a temperature as possible. Elastomers are to be protected against UV light. In general, a storage period of 10 years should not be exceeded.
Series KSE/F, KSE-C/F 6 Page 9 Installation The installation conditions to the AD 2000 Code A2 (on pressure vessels) and TRD721 are to be observed. They are major preconditions for the safe operation of the valve. Examine valve for in-transit damage, damaged globe shut-off or control valves must not be installed. Before installation the valve and the connecting pipe must be carefully cleaned to remove any dirt, especially hard foreign matter.
Series KSE/F, KSE-C/F Page 10 6.2.3 Discharge conditions and reaction forces At low temperatures: Outlet lines must be protected against freezing. This applies in particular if gas cooling as a result of expansion is to be expected or lines are laid outdoors. With crystallising media: In the case of media which tend to crystallise, solidify or stick, appropriate action must be taken to ensure that the solidification process cannot take place in the inlet or outlet lines or in the body (e.g.
Series KSE/F, KSE-C/F 6.8 Page 11 Blocking screw (option) 6.10 Signal transmitter (Option) During the pressure test of the plant the safety valve cannot discharge through the blocking screw. This blocking screw may only be used for this purpose. Always remove again immediately. Damage to the valve could occur and pressure protection is then no longer provided.
Series KSE/F, KSE-C/F Page 12 Design signal transmitter for blocking screw 6.12 Shortened or no lifting lever (Option) Fig. 10 Legend see Section 10.1. In order to exclude unauthorised activation, the lifting lever 238 can be shortened; a lever is supplied loose. See Fig. 13. the valve can be without a lifting lever; the locking plate 539 is not bored. See Fig. 14. Fig. 13 Fig. 14 6.
Series KSE/F, KSE-C/F 7 Operation 7.1 Initial commissioning Normally, the valves have been tested for leaks with air or water. Normally, the valves have been tested for leaks with air or water. Unless otherwise agreed, there could be residual amounts of water in the flow section of the valve; this could result in a possible reaction with the medium. The max. operating pressure of the plant must generally be less than the reseating pressure of the safety valve.
Series KSE/F, KSE-C/F 8 Page 14 Malfunctions Safety valve is leaking Is there foreign matter between the seat and plug? Is there any wear or damage to the seat or plug? Have the nuts at the inlet nozzle been unevenly tightened? Actuation of the lifting lever can help to regain the required sealing effect. If this does not succeed in stopping the leak, the sealing surface of the plug must either be reworked or the plug or seat must be replaced.
Series KSE/F, KSE-C/F 9.1 Screw connections To prevent leaks, a regular check of the connection screws should be made in line with the operating requirements. For tightening torques, see Section 1.3. To prevent screw connections from becoming loose in the event of pressure fluctuations or plant vibrations, we recommend the installation of expansion joints or pulsation dampers. 9.2 Cleaning Prior to starting any repair work, the valve is to be thoroughly cleaned.
Series KSE/F, KSE-C/F 9.6.2 Dismantling of the seat Remove bonnet 513 from the body 100. See Section 9.6.1. Dismantle inlet nozzle 122 from the body 100 and remove the seat 227. 9.6.3 Installation of the seat Insert the new or reworked seat 205 at the bottom into the corresponding centring of the body 100. Then insert the inlet nozzle 122 into the centring of the body 100. The components must be smooth running, i.e. can be centred without any constraining forces.
Series KSE/F, KSE-C/F Page 17 Undo hex. nuts at the end of the spindle and also remove spacer sleeve. Undo adjusting screw 538 and screw it out of the spring bonnet 513. The pressure spring 952/1 is only partially relieved in this situation. In order to completely relieve the spring, the two nuts per threaded rod are evenly turned upwards until the spring bonnet is loose.
Series KSE/F, KSE-C/F Page 18 Completely mount the lower valve section (body, seat, inlet nozzle). The pressure ring 124 is placed on the sealing strip of the body. See Fig. 21. Undo adjusting screw 538 (turn out of the spring bonnet 513) until the distance between the upper edge of the insert sleeve and the edge of the stem guide is approx. 5 mm. See Fig. 23.
Series KSE/F, KSE-C/F Lowering the bellows onto the seat For this purpose screw the adjusting screw 538 into the spring bonnet 513 until the spacer can be freely moved. When tightening the adjusting screw 538, hold the spindle 802 with a wrench on the counter nut to prevent it from turning so that the bellows 206 or the spring-type pin 939/1 are not damaged. See Fig. 25. Fig. 25 Undo the counter nut and remove the spacer. Now the valve can be set to the specified set pressure.
