6 Commissioning/Start-up/Shutdown
6.1 Commissioning/start-up
CAUTION
Welding beads, scale and other impurities in the piping
Damage to the valve!
▷
Remove any impurities from the piping, e.g. by flushing the pipe with the valve
in fully open position.
▷
If necessary, install a strainer.
DANGER
All work performed on the actuator:
Risk of injury!
▷
Observe the actuator’s operating manual.
6.1.1 Prerequisites for commissioning/start-up
DANGER
Surge pressure/water hammer potentially occurring at high temperatures
Danger to life caused by burns or scalds!
▷
Do not exceed the valve's maximum permissible pressure.
▷
Use valves made of nodular cast iron or steel.
▷
The operator shall provide general safety measures for the system.
Before commissioning/start-up of the valve ensure that the following requirements
are met:
▪
The valve has been connected to the piping at both ends.
▪
The actuator has been connected to the power supply in accordance with the
operating manual for electric actuators.
▪
The piping has been flushed.
▪
For valves with electric actuators or pneumatic actuators travel limits have been
set.
▪
The material, pressure data and temperature data of the valve are compatible
with the operating conditions of the piping.
▪
The material's chemical resistance and stability under load have been checked.
6.1.2 Actuation
The valve is operated by an electric actuator.
WARNING
Improper handling of electric actuator
Crushing of fingers!
Damage to the actuator or the valve!
▷
Never touch the rotating components.
▷
Ensure that any objects and parts of the body are removed from the actuator
coupling area prior to starting the actuator.
