E.1.1 Mitigation of Main Valve Instability
During Startup
Below are the recommended steps for charging the pilot in
preparation for startup:
1. Close all valves and regulator.
2. Connect
Field Test Arrangement
to
Field Test
Connection
(Figure 42).
3. Open the
Isolation
Valve #1.
4. Slowly open the
Nitrogen Bottle Valve
to its fully
open position.
5. Slowly adjust the
Nitrogen Regulator
(pressure
increase should not exceed 10 psig/sec) till the
downstream pressure is equal to 90% of the set
pressure as indicated by
Pressure Gauge #1
.
Should the pressure input exceed the set pressure,
follow these steps:
i. Close the
Isolation Valve #1.
ii. Reduce the output pressure of the
Nitrogen Regulator
to 90% of set
pressure.
iii. Slowly open
Vent Valve #1
until all
pressure in the pilot is below 90% of set
pressure.
iv. Close
Vent Valve #1.
v. Open
Isolation Valve #1.
6. With the pilot pressurized to 90% of set pressure,
system startup may begin.
7. After startup, close
Nitrogen Bottle Valve.
8. Fully open
Vent Valve #1
until
Pressure Gauge #1
reads 0 psig.
9. Disconnect
Field Test Arrangement
from the
Field Test Connection.
10. Ensure
Field Test Connection
is not plugged.
It is still possible that pressure excursions may actuate
the valve, therefore it is recommended to minimize system
pressure ramp rate.
