APV_RG4_ATEX_UK-0_032018.indd Safety Instructions Danger! Do not touch the open valve body or the yoke! Risk of injury due to sudden valve operation. Risk of injury in dismantled valve state due to sudden valve operation. Regular maintenance including the replacement of all seals and bearing bushes must be scheduled in order to prevent leakages and discharge of liquids..
APV_RG4_ATEX_UK-0_032018.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! Modulating Valve DELTA RG4-ATEX Instruction Manual: UK-0...
APV_RG4_ATEX_UK-0_032018.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 modulating valve DELTA RG4 is the flow and pressure regulation of liquids and gases.

APV_RG4_ATEX_UK-0_032018.indd Mode of Operation 5.1. General terms Hygienic modulating valves DELTA RG4 are used for the continuous control of liquid flows in beverage and food positioner technology as well as in the chemical and pharmaceutical integrated industry. Modulating valves are suited for the flow and pressure control of liquids and gases.
APV_RG4_ATEX_UK-0_032018.indd Mode of Operation Depending on the specific requirement, the modulating valve can be operated either with spring opening or with spring closing function. MFS - diaphragm actuator, spring closing The actuator opens by actuating pressure and closes by spring pressure. MFH - diaphragm actuator, spring opening. The actuator closes by actuating pressure and opens by spring pressure.
APV_RG4_ATEX_UK-0_032018.indd Cleaning 6.1. Flow areas The passages of the valve are cleaned by the cleaning liquid during cleaning of the connected pipelines. The compatibility of the individually selected cleaning processes and liquids with the respective seal material must be verified. Installation 7.1. General terms Installation must be undertaken in such a way that liquids can drain off the valve housing and should preferably be carried out in vertical position.
APV_RG4_ATEX_UK-0_032018.indd Installation 7.2. Welding instructions Welding may only be carried out by certified welders (DIN EN ISO 9606-1). (Seam quality DIN EN ISO 5817). Before welding, the insert and the seals must be dismantled. During tacking, the lower and lateral flange must be connected with the housing.

APV_RG4_ATEX_UK-0_032018.indd 11. Service Instructions 11.4. Assembly of the valve and installation of new parts Attention! To ensure a trouble-free assembly and a high service life of all wear parts (seals, guides, etc.), all parts must be slightly greased. Sharp-edged tools (screwdrivers or similar tools) must not be used for the installation to avoid damage to the parts and provide their faultless function.
APV_RG4_ATEX_UK-0_032018.indd 11. Service Instructions 11.5. Assembly of valve to change flow rates and characteristics 1. The available wear parts (seals and guides) have to be checked for their proper function. Damaged parts must be replaced immediately. (designations and ref.-No. see spare parts list pos. 14). 2. See chapter 11.4. pos. 1. - 6. 3.
APV_RG4_ATEX_UK-0_032018.indd Installation of Seat Seal 12.1. Manual installation of seat seal (pos. 12). Before assembly provide the seat seal with a thin layer of grease. The groove for the seat seal must not be greased. Clamp the valve shaft into a vice. The valve shaft must not be damaged. Use protective cloth! Press the slightly greased seal at four spots with the wide side to the front into the groove (see sketch 1).
