Application
The gas motor valve is used to ensure
and control the gas and air supply to
gas burners and other gas-firing equip-
ment, also for two-stage operation. The
VK..G with GGG 50 housing meets the
requirements according to TRD 412,
par. 4.2 (application in outdoor installati-
ons), par. 5.1 (shut-off valve outside of
the boiler room) and GUV 17.4 (use in
landfills).
In areas subject to an explosion hazard
(zones 1 and 2) it is recommended to
use VK..X, e.g. in lacquer and varnish
factories, paint shops, refineries, chemi-
cal plants, sewage treatment plants,
landfills, gas/oil extraction plants, etc.
Operation
The motor valve type VK is a hydrauli-
cally actuated safety valve which is in
closed position when dead.
On application of mains voltage the
internal pump of the valve will build up
an oil pressure which causes the valve
disk to be forced down slowly via a
piston. The pump will stop as soon as
the fully opened position has been rea-
ched. As the pressure decreases the
pump will be shortly run again. For clo-
sing the valve, shut off the voltage
which will cause the oil pressure to
return to zero and the closing spring
force down the valve disk within 1 s.
