Description of operation
The valve can be moved to any intermediate position with a pneumatic actuator. When the spindle is
moved out, the control passage of the valve is closed. The valves may only be used closing against
pressure. The flow direction marked on the valve must be observed. Closing with pressure is not per-
mitted with pneumatic actuators, because this would cause pressure surges. The flow parameters
correspond to EN 60534.

Closing against the pressure

These control valves are characterised by their reliability and precision and make an important contri-
bution towards environmentally friendly regulation. They meet challenges such as emergency func-
tions, overcoming differential pressures, controlling medium temperatures and performing the shut-off
function, all in a low-noise form.
The valve spindle is automatically and firmly connected to the actuator spindle. The brass plug con-
trols the equal-percentage flow rate in the control passage. The tightness of the valve is ensured by
the seat incorporated in the body.
The stuffing box is maintenance-free. This consists of a brass body, two O-rings, a wiper ring and a
grease reserve. This is free of silicone grease, and silicone oil may not be used for the spindle. The
grease reserve stops particles that may be present in the medium from penetrating to the upper O-
ring.

Intended use
This product is only suitable for the purpose intended by the manufacturer, as described in the “De-
scription of operation” section.
All related product documents must also be adhered to. Changing or converting the product is not ad-
missible.

Engineering and fitting notes

The actuator is mounted directly on the valve and fastened with screws. The actuator is connected
with the valve spindle automatically. The closing point must be adjusted as described in the fitting in-
structions (MV 506012 AVP 242).

Fitting position
The control unit can be fitted in any position, but the hanging position is not recommended. Conden-
sate, drops of water, etc. must be prevented from entering the actuator. When installed horizontally,
without any structural support for the actuator, the maximum weight on the valve is 25 kg.
When the actuator is mounted on the valve, make sure that the plug is not twisted on the seat (this
may damage the sealing surface). When insulating the valve, it may only be insulated up to the con-
necting clip of the actuator.

Using with steam

The valves may not be used for steam applications.

Using with water

So that impurities are retained in the water (welding beads, rust particles, etc.) and the spindle seal is
not damaged, we recommend installing collecting filters, for example one for each floor or pipe run.

Water requirements according to VDI 2035. When using an additive in the water, the compatibility of
the materials must be checked with the manufacturer of the medium. The materials table shown be-
low may be used. When glycol is used, we recommend using a concentration of between 20% and
55%.

Other information regarding hydraulics and noise in systems

The valves can be used in a low-noise environment. To prevent noise, the pressure differences ∆pmax
listed below should not be exceeded.
The pressure difference ∆pmax is the maximum pressure that may act on the valve regardless of the
stroke position, in order that the risk of cavitation and erosion is limited. These values are irrespective
of the actuator force. The cavitation accelerates wear on the plug and seat in the valve and causes
noises. To prevent cavitation, the differential pressure should not exceed the value ∆pkrit:
∆pkrit = (p1 - pv) × 0.5
p1 = upstream pressure before the valve (bar)
pv = steam pressure at operating temperature (bar)
The calculation works with absolute pressure.
Note that when the pressure difference ∆pmax is exceeded, the valve can be damaged by cavitation
and erosion. For the spring return, the stated ∆ps values are also the permissible differential pressure
up to which the actuator can guarantee that the valve is closed in the event of an incident. Because
this is a safety function with a fast stroke movement (using a spring), this value can exceed ∆pmax.

Additional details on the definitions of pressure difference

∆pv:
Maximum admissible pressure difference over the valve in each stroke position, limited by noise level
and erosion.
This parameter characterises the valve as a flow element with specific hydraulic behaviour. Monitor-
ing the cavitation and erosion along with the associated noise increases the service life and the op-
erational capacity.
∆pmax:
Maximum admissible pressure difference over the valve at which the actuator can reliably open and
close the valve.
This takes account of: Static pressure and flow effects. This value ensures trouble-free stroke move-
ment and closing of the valve. The value ∆pv of the valve is never exceeded.
∆ps:
Maximum admissible pressure difference over the valve in the event of a malfunction (e.g. power fail-
ure, excessive temperature or pressure, pipe break) at which the actuator can close the valve tightly
and, if necessary, maintain the entire operating pressure against atmospheric pressure. Because this
is a safety function with a rapid stroke movement, ∆ps can be greater than ∆pmax or ∆pv. The disrup-
tive flow effects that arise here are quickly passed through and are of minor importance in this mode.
For 3-way valves, the values only apply to the control passage.
∆pstat:
Line pressure behind the valve. This essentially corresponds to the dormant pressure when the pump
is switched off, for example caused by the fluid level in the system, increased pressure due to pres-
sure tanks, steam pressure, etc.
On valves that close under pressure, the static pressure plus the pump pressure must be used.

Disposal
