7. Installation
7.1 General notes on installation
If the manufacturer of the aggregate or plant has issued specific installation
instructions, make sure they are observed.
The following items should be taken into account besides the general principles
governing installation work:
- before installing please make sure that the plant will be pressure less
and empty of any medium
- in case of high temperatures, please wait for the cooling down to
ambiance temperature
- purge piping system in case of caustic, inflammable, aggressive or
toxic media
- Planners/construction companies or operator are responsible for positioning
and installing products.
-
For application outside or in adverse environments like corrosion-promoting conditions
(sea-water, chemical vapours), special constructions or protective measures
are recommended.
-
Before installing the regulating valve, rinse and clean the system otherwise the
cone/seat area will be damaged and the control hole will be blocked.
-
The direction of flow must correspond with the arrow on the valve body.
-
Insert thermometer to control the medium temperature.
-
Install a strainer upstream of the temperature regulator to prevent that any sealing parts,
welding spatter and other impurities carried along by the process medium impair the proper
functioning of the valve, above all the tight shut-off.
The filter element must be suspended downwards.
Note!
Remember to leave enough space to remove the filter element
- The place of installation should be easily accessible and provide ample space for
maintenance and extracting the thermostat out of the piping.
- Install a shut-off valve upstream and downstream of the temperature regulator to enable
repair and maintenance work without emptying the system.
Note!
Do not install the temperature regulator between a pressure reducing valve
and its control line connection
Refer to the data sheet for applications, limits, limits on use and possibilities.
