Condenser Water Regulating Valve
Installation
It is recommended that the valve be installed downstream of the condenser to insure
undisturbed flow into the condenser. Also insure that the condenser does not drain
when the valve is shut off and or when the water pump is off. Drainage of the
condenser will increase tube fouling.
WARNING
Hazardous Voltage!
Disconnect all electric power, including remote disconnects before servicing.
Follow proper lockout/tagout procedures to ensure the power can not be
inadvertently energized. Failure to disconnect power before servicing could
result in death or serious injury.
1.
Inspect the valve for the proper rating.
2.
Remove the protective flange covers from the valve.
3.
Ensure the valve is free of shipping defects.
4.
Be certain the waterway is free of all debris.
5.
Almost close the valve prior to installing to avoid damage to the disc or seat of
the valve. Refer to Figure 1.
6.
The valve can be installed at any angle; therefore it is recommended that the
indicator and controller be positioned so that it can be read and adjusted, if
necessary.
7.
Place the valve between the flanges. Do not use any gasketing material. The
elastomer seat extends beyond the valve seat and provides a leak proof seal
between the valve and the mating pipe flange faces.
Important:
Gaskets are not needed and should not be used when the valve is
installed between standard weld neck or slip-on type flanges.
8.
Install all bolts between the valve and the mating flanges. Hand tighten all bolts
as necessary.
9.
Torque the bolts in the sequence outlined in Figure 2 and to the value listed in
Table 2.
10.
Verify full stroke operation with the manual crank and rotation indicator.
