Decommissioning
(e.g. due to seizing up after remaining in
the same position for a long time), re-
lease any stored energy in the actuator
(e.g. spring compression). See associat-
ed actuator documentation.
Risk of personal injury due to exhaust air
being vented.
While the valve is operating, the actuator,
for example, may vent during closed-loop
operation or when the valve opens or closes.
Î
Wear eye protection when working in
close proximity to the control valve.
Risk of personal injury due to residual
process medium in the valve.
While working on the valve, residual
medium can flow out of the valve and,
depending on its properties, cause personal
injury, e.g. (chemical) burns.
Î
Wear protective clothing, safety gloves,
respiratory protection and eye protec-
tion.
To decommission the control valve for service
work or to remove it from the pipeline, pro-
ceed as follows:
1. Close the shut-off valves upstream and
downstream of the control valve to stop
the process medium from flowing
through the valve.
2. Completely drain the pipelines and
valve.
3. Disconnect and lock the pneumatic air
supply to depressurize the actuator.
4. Release any stored energy.
5. If necessary, allow the pipeline and valve
components to cool down or heat up.
