7.1 Installation Guidance Notes
The following section gives valve installation guidance notes, and manual
operational instructions.
Prior to Installation
The AMOT G Valve should be checked upon receipt for damage sustained
during shipping. Contact AMOT (refer back page for contact details) in case of
any concerns regarding the valve’s integrity.
Handling Devices
WARNING
The valve, its components and its actuator are heavy. All lifting and
moving equipment including cranes/hoists, lifting hooks, harnesses
and slings etc. must be suitably rated to ensure safe handling.
Suitable support of the valve during lifting must be given to ensure
safe relocation of the equipment.
Lifting provision for the larger valve assemblies is provided by means of a
number of eyebolts on the valve cover.
The rotor itself can be lifted using a sling fed under the triangular web joining
the rotor shaft boss to the rotor face.
Installation Recommendations
When installing the valve, the following factors must be considered:
• Position the valve as close as possible to the point where it can best effect
control.
•
Install a minimum of 6 pipe diameters in length from any intersection to
ensure a good mix of fluids. Too great a distance may induce unnecessary
time lags into the system affecting accuracy and stability of temperature
control.
•
Future maintenance is simplified if the valve is installed in the upright
position in an accessible location. Ensure valve access is not limited for
future maintenance.
