Directive on the Protection against Explosion 2014/34/EU ATEX (superseding 94/9/EC) for Equipment Category -/2D IIB TX For official inspections, SPX FLOW presents a technical documentation according to Appendix VII of the Machinery Directive, this documentation consisting of documents of the development and construction, description of measures taken to meet the conformity and to comply with the basic requirements on safety and health, incl.
1.2. Responsibility for ATEX certification - scope of supply SPX FLOW will be held responsible only for the valves supplied and selected according to the operating conditions indicated by the customer or end user and as stated in the order confirmation. If in doubt, contact your SPX FLOW partner.
Danger to life! Actuators which are no longer used or defective must be diposed in professional manner. Defective actuators must be returned to your SPX FLOW representative for their professional disposal and free of charge for you. Please address to your local SPX FLOW representative.
APV_DKR2 ATEX_UK-0_022018.indd Safety Instructions Installation, connection, start-up, maintenance and repair work must only be carried out by qualified personnel. The following aspects must be observed: The instructions of this manual together with all relevant instructions for the components, equipment and installations installed. Warnings and installations fixed to the components. The specific regulations for and requirements to the system in which the valve is installed. The currently valid regional, national and international regulations.
All data (temperature classes) refer to an ambient temperature of 0°C to 40°C. If the ambient temperature is above 40°C, the temperature difference must be adjusted. In all cases, contact your responsible SPX FLOW representative! Double Seat Ball Valve DELTA DKR2 ATEX Design...
APV_DKR2 ATEX_UK-0_022018.indd Identification of valves, Temperature classes, Responsibilities 3.3 Responsibilites It is within the operator`s responsibility to ensure that the specified product temperatures are not exceeded and that regular inspections and maintenance are carried out to provide for proper function of the valve. Intended Use The intended use as field of application of the butterfly valves is the shut-off of line sections, especially in beverage and food installations.

APV_DKR2 ATEX_UK-0_022018.indd Mode of Operation 5.1. General terms Due to the use of high-quality stainless steel and seal materials complying with the specified requirements, the double seat ball valve DELTA DKR2 can be used in the food and beverage industries as well as in the chemical and pharmaceutical industries.
APV_DKR2 ATEX_UK-0_022018.indd Mode of Operation 5.2. Potential Equalization A possible risk may result from a potential difference between the components. With non-conducting media or empty pipline sections, a conducting connection must be created between the valve components. With double seat ball valves, this is reached by the installation of a spring.
APV_DKR2 ATEX_UK-0_022018.indd Cleaning 6.1. Cleaning recommendation The valve passage is cleaned by the cleaning liquid during cleaning of the connected pipelines. Several switching (“cycling”) of the valve during pipeline cleaning is beneficial for the cleaning of the leakage chamber. Depending on the degree and contents of soiling, the cleaning liquids, times and processes for the individual application must be scheduled.
APV_DKR2 ATEX_UK-0_022018.indd Installation 7.1. Welding Instructions Welding may only be carried out by certified welders (DIN EN ISO 9606-1). (seam quality DIN EN ISO 5817). The welding of the mating flanges must be effected in such a way that deformation strain cannot be transfered to the valve body. TIG orbital welding is the most appropriate method. Before welding, all heat sensitive parts of the valve must be removed! Dismantle valve ball housing with seals between the counterflanges.

APV_DKR2 ATEX_UK-0_022018.indd Maintenance The maintenance intervals depend on the corresponding application and are to be determined by the operator himself carrying out temporary checks. Before start of maintenance and assembly the operator must make sure that an explosive atmohsphere does not exist (detection/ measurement of potential concentration of hazardous substances).
