Designated Use
The Tuchenhagen Flow diversion devices consists of
two Tuchenhagen non-slamming divert valves type
XKR or XWR welded together to form an assembly. The
assembly is used to enable the “Divert Flow”, “Leak
Detect” or “Forward Flow”.
Divert valves type X are pressure retention devices
(without safety function) in accordance with the
pressure equipment guideline 97/23/EC. They are
classified according to Appendix II in Article 3, Section
3. In case of deviations thereof, a separate Declaration of
Conformity will be handed out together with the
equipment.
Transport and
Storage
Checking the consignment
On receipt of the Flow diversion device check whether
– the type and serial number on the type plate corre-
spond to the data in the order and delivery documents
and
– the equipment is complete and all components are in
good order.
The forwarding agent must immediately be notified of
any transport damage detectable from the outside
and/or missing packages (confirmation on the consign-
ment note). The consignee shall take recourse against
the forwarding agent immediately in writing and
inform GEA Tuchenhagen accordingly.
Transport damages which cannot be recognized imme-
diately shall be brought to the forwarder´s notice within
6 days. Later claims on damages shall be born by the
consignee.

Transport
DANGER
For transport of the package, only use suitable lifting
gear and slings. Observe the instruction symbols on the
package and on the Flow diversion device.
Handle the Flow diversion device with care to avoid
damage caused by shock or careless unloading.
The synthetic materials of the control modules are sen-
sitive to breakages.
Storage
In the case that during transport or storage the Flow
diversion device is exposed to temperatures ≤ 0°C, then
store in a dry place against damage.
We recommend, prior to any handling (dismounting
the housings / activation of actuators) an intermediate
storage of 24 hours at a temperature of ≥ 5 °C so that
any ice crystals formed by condensation water melts.
General Description
The Tuchenhagen Flow diversion devices are available
with either vertical down (Type XKR) or horizontal
(Type XWR) divert flow ports to suit the installation
requirements. Refer to Appendix “Dimension sheets”.
The actuator is a type Z air to activate, spring to close
design. It can be activated directly at the actuator by
suitable air connection or through the control module
with a solenoid (if required). The air connection port at
the actuator is provided with a quick exhaust valve to
speed activation. See chapter “Assembly and Operation,
Pneumatic Connections”.
The control module is supplied as standard with two
sensor to detect non-activated and the activated valve
position. See Chapter “Assembly and Operation, Electri-
cal Connections”. A solenoid valve is available.
