The Type 41-73 Excess Pressure Valve con
-
sists of a Type 2417 Opening Valve and a
Type 2413 Actuator. The valve and actuator
(except for tested regulators) are delivered
separately and must be assembled together
according to these instructions (see the 'In-
stallation' section).
The excess pressure valve is used to maintain
the pressure upstream of the valve to an ad-
justed set point.
The process medium flows through the valve
between seat (2) and plug (3) in the direc-
tion indicated by the arrow on the body. The
position of the valve plug determines the
flow rate and, as a result, the pressure ratio
across the valve. The plug stem is sealed by
a frictionless bellows (5.1). The upstream
pressure p
1
is transmitted over the compen-
sation chamber (18) and control line (17) to
the operating diaphragm (12) (operating
bellows (12.1) in the version with bellows
actuator) where it is converted into a posi-
tioning force. This force is used to move the
valve plug depending on the force of the set
point springs (7). The spring force is adjust-
able at the set point adjuster (6). The valves
with K
VS
4 and higher have a balancing bel
-
lows (4). The upstream pressure acts on the
outside of the bellows and the downstream
pressure on the inside of the bellows. As a
result, the forces produced by the upstream
and downstream pressures acting on the
plug are balanced out.
The valve opens when the upstream pressure
rises.
