This manual contains installation, operation, and repair instructions, with parts lists, for the Model 762- 227, 762-227 MRAL and 862W-227 Flo-Diversion Valves and control panels designed and manufactured by Alfa Laval Inc.. It also provides a trouble shooting chart to assist in determining electrical and mechanical malfunctions, if they should occur.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION Safety is very important! DO NOT attempt to modify any Alfa Laval product. To do so could create unsafe conditions and void all warranties. DO NOT place any Alfa Laval product in an application where general product service ratings are exceeded.
The purpose of the 762-227 MRAL Reverse Acting Flo-Diversion Valve is to eliminate hydraulic shock in systems where the differential pressure across the valve is 30 psig or greater. The design of the valve allows closing against the process flow rather than with the flow as conventional valves do.
Page 5
INTRODUCTION The control panel contains a three position selector switch for operating the valve in product flow, cleaning, or inspection positions. A manual diversion push button allows the operator to divert product flow into the balance tank at any time during operation of the equipment. Inside the control panel are solenoid valves, timers and relays required for control of the valves.
Page 6
INTRODUCTION The product is circulated through the regenerator and heater, and into the holding tube and Flo-Diversion Valve. The valve diverts product back to the balance tank until a safe pasteurization temperature is reached. When legal temperature is reached, the temperature limit switch closes the circuit to the solenoid valve (SVl) for the divert valve.
INSTALLATION UNPACKING AND INSTALLING EQUIPMENT UNPACKING EQUIPMENT The Flo-Diversion Valve should be unpacked immediately upon receipt from the factory and carefully inspected for damage that may have occurred during shipping. The equipment should also be checked against the bill of lading to make sure there are no shortages. Any damage or shortage should be immediately reported to the carrier.
Page 8
INSTALLATION INSTALLING THE EQUIPMENT Secure the valves to an adequate support using appropriate pipe hangers, and connect the valves to the product piping. The valves are furnished with Tri-Clamp fittings for simplified connections. Make ® sure the piping is self supporting and that the joints at the valves are properly aligned to prevent strain on the valves.
INSTALLATION PRESTARTING PRESTART TESTS Before putting the Flo-Diversion Valve into operation it is necessary to check the installation. To make sure that all parts of the system are functioning properly, the following checklist should be used. 1. Air Supply. Make sure all air line connections are tight and free of leaks. Before turning on the air supply, loosen the adjusting screw on top of the Filter-Regulator until an compression on the spring is released.
Page 10
When the switch is released, the valves will follow the normal "product" cycle. 4. MICROSWITCH TEST for 762-227 & 862W-227. The microswitches in the valves are safety devices. They are adjusted so that the timing pump will not run at sub-legal pasteurization temperatures, unless the valves are completely and properly assembled.
Page 11
INSTALLATION H. Turn the selector switch to the “PRODUCT” position and the timing pump will not start. Remove the gap gauge and reassemble the valve. Ensure the valve is properly and completely assembled. ALTERNATE TEST METHOD CAN ALSO BE USED TO TEST THE MICROSWITCH ADJUSTMENT. Note: These are unofficial test methods for troubleshooting purposes only.
Page 12
If the valves do not meet either of these tests, the microswitch must be adjusted. Refer to topic “Adjustments”. 5. MICROSWITCH ADJUSTMENT for 762-227 & 862W-227. The Flo-Diversion Valve is precision equipment, and has been carefully manufactured and adjusted before leaving the factory. As is the case with most precision machinery however, the adjustments may have been disturbed during shipping or installation.
Page 13
INSTALLATION Remove the valve body clamp and the upper valve port clamp on the leak detect valve. This will allow access to the valve stem when the valve is lifted off the lower body. The divert valve requires removal of the lower body for access to the valve stem. Apply air to the actuator to move the stem off the upper seat.
Page 14
INSTALLATION F. Unscrew the nut at the end of the exposed stem for stem removal. G. Slide the stem and o-ring off the stem connected to the actuator. H. Slide the gauge ( stored inside control housing ) onto the stem connected to the actuator. Reassemble the two stem together without the o-ring and tighten the nut to secure the gauge between the two stems.
Page 15
INSTALLATION Divert Valve Cam This cam and its circuitry controls the divert valve opening and closing during the cleaning cycle. The switch is wired into the circuit for solenoid valve (SV1) When the switch is activated by the cam, the solenoid is energized allowing air into to the divert valve actuator.
MAINTENANCE CLEANING The Flo-Diversion Valve is used in the food processing industry and therefore is subject to frequent cleaning. The clean-in-place (CIP) capability permits cleaning of the process passages and the components that come in contact with the product, without dismantling the valve. The entire cleaning process is accomplished automatically once the selector switch has been placed in the “clean’’...
The valves, actuators and control unit should be disassembled to the extent necessary for inspection or needed repair. 762-227 & 862W-227 VALVE DISASSEMBLY 1. Be sure the timing pump is turned off. Remove the lower body line clamps on the divert valve and the upper body outlet line clamp from the leak detect valve.
MAINTENANCE 762-227MRAL VALVE DISASSEMBLY 1. Be sure the timing pump is turned off. Remove the four tri-clamps that connect the valve to the process system. To separate the Flo-Diversion Valve into two valves remove the tri-clamp that connects the valves together. 2.
MAINTENANCE CONTROL TOP DISASSEMBLY cleaning. WARNING To prevent personal injury, disconnect all electrical and pneumatic power to the control top. Hazardous voltage can cause electrical shock. The actuator stem moves with extreme force and suddenness. 1. Disconnect the Cable. Unscrew the knurled ring of the cable counter clockwise. After the threads disengage, pull the cable off of the connector.
MAINTENANCE ACTUATOR BUSHING / PACKING REPLACEMENT WARNING To prevent personal injury, do not attempt to cut actuator open. The actuator spring is compressed and under load. Bushings guide the actuator stem while packings provide sealing around the stem. The bushing and packing should both be replaced if one or the other fails. Even if only one end fails both ends of the actuator should be serviced.
MAINTENANCE CONTROL TOP ASSEMBLY (* STP is a registered trademark of STP Corporation.) 1. Attach the activating nut with the two retaining rings to the non-threaded end of the actuator stem. 2. Place all seals on the base. • Three o-rings on the bottom of the base. IMPORTANT: When installing the largest diameter o-ring start it in groove opposite the air relief notch and press it in towards the notch.
Page 22
MAINTENANCE 3. Place the solenoid on top of the selector block and fasten with two screws. STOP BLOCK INSTALLATION - NO SOLENOID ONLY 1. Install all four o-rings into the stop block. 2. Place S.S. stop block support on top of stop block and fasten the stop block with two screws. 3.
IMPORTANT: Replace nylon lock before threading valve stem onto actuator stem, see section Actuator Stem Nylon Lock Replacement. 762-227 & 862W-227 VALVE ASSEMBLY 1. Place o-ring into counter bore above air port on yoke. 2. Place green bearing retainer into bottom of actuator.

MAINTENANCE 762-227MRAL VALVE ASSEMBLY 1. Place o-ring into counter bore above air port on yoke. 2. Place green bearing retainer into bottom of actuator. 3. Place actuator onto yoke with short shaft end into the yoke. Align yoke air port with unthreaded thru hole in actuator end cap.
TROUBLESHOOTING TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDELINES The Flo-Diversion valve is relatively maintenance free with the exception periodic inspection. As with any precision equipment, however, occasional problems can arise. The troubleshooting chart provides a means of determining and correcting most mechanical and electrical problems. Note: The troubleshooting chart is divided into two parts, one mechanical and electrical.
