Do not install the product outdoors without additional weather protection. Caution: In order for the ILVA20 flowmeter to meet its specified accuracy and performance, it is essential that the following guidelines for installation are followed carefully. For steam flow measurement, good basic steam engineering practices should be followed as detailed in this manual.
Page 14
Required installation Isolation valve minimum minimum Strainer Separator Fig. 4a Minimum 100 mm Minimum 100 mm Fig. 4b The MVT10 is supplied with a four bolt bracket and two U bolt fixings for mounting to a suitable structure. The U bolts can be used to clamp the MVT10 to a suitably located pipe or bar up to 60 mm diameter, see Figure 4a. Caution! Do not clamp the MVT to another steam pipe.
Page 15
4.1 Orientation The ILVA20 should be installed in a horizontal line. As it has been calibrated in a horizontal attitude, mounting it in a vertical line (flow downwards) may introduce a small flow measurement error. If installation with flow vertically downwards is unavoidable, please consult Spirax Sarco for advice.
Page 16
Maximum 45º Fig. 9 The ILVA20 can be rotated in a horizontal line by up to 45° (downwards only), see Figure 9. The filling and hose connector plugs are supplied loose and thus need to be fitted to suit the orientation of the 2 way manifold.
Page 17
The ILVA20 normally only requires a minimum of 6 pipe diameters upstream and 3 downstream of clear straight pipe. These dimensions assume a measurement from a single 90° bend.
Page 18
If any of the following configurations are present upstream of the ILVA20, then it is recommended that the minimum upstream clear pipework is doubled to 12 diameters. Two right angled bends in two planes. Pressure reducing valve. Partly open valve.
Page 19
Fig. 14 It is important that the ILVA20 is located centrally in the pipework as any eccentricity may cause inaccurate readings. The ILVA20 has been designed with integral centering webs which locate on the internal diameter of the pipework.
Page 20
4.4 Pressure tappings The ILVA20 has a two way manifold with integral pressure tappings for connection to the MVT10 mass flow transmitter assembly using impulse lines. These are threaded 3/8" NPT and are clearly marked HI (upstream) and LO (downstream). Care should be taken to ensure that these are correctly connected. It also has filling points to commission the assembly.
Page 21
4.5 Hard piped impulse lines The ILVA20 and MVT10 can be installed with hard piping for impulse lines (supplied by others). The general arrangement Fig. 16 should be as shown opposite. Hard piping for impulse lines 4.6 How to fit the MVT10 MVT10 is supplied with a bracket which can be clamped to small pipe (Æ60 mm), or fixed to a suitable wall.
Warning! All wiring procedures must be performed with the power off. Use only the connectors supplied with the product, or spares obtained from Spirax Sarco. Use of different connectors may compromise product safety and approvals. Ensure there is no condensation within the unit before installing and connecting the power.
Page 23
Wiring compartment and cable entry The MVT10 contains an integral wiring compartment, located at the rear of the enclosure. To access the compartment, loosen the small grub screw and unscrew the rear cover. A M20 x 1.5 female conduit entry is available for power and signal wiring. The product comes fitted with a cable gland which is suitable for one cable with a 5-12 mm diameter.

The MVT10 should be commissioned with the flow through the ILVA20 isolated. The MVT10 can not be used with ILVA or Gilflo products, as they are sold paired with a ILVA20. Note: The MVT10 is factory set to display data in metric units. To commission the MVT10 to display imperial units see Section 7.3.2.
Rotating the display The display can be rotated through +/- 180 degrees. Do not rotate more then 360 degrees, to aid reading and commissioning. To rotate the display, first disconnect the power supply to the MVT10. Unscrew the front housing screw cap (with glass). Unscrew the three display retaining screws and rotate the complete display cassette to the required position.
7.1 Run mode Normally, the MVT10 flowmeter will operate in the run mode, displaying the total flow, flow, power, pressure or temperature of the fluid passing through the pipeline. After initial power up, the MVT10 flowmeter will automatically enter the run mode and all commissioning menus can be accessed from this mode.

Before carrying out any maintenance on the ILVA20/MVT10 refer to the safety information in Section 1. 8.1 Impulse hoses Spirax Sarco recommend periodic cleaning of the impulse lines to prevent excessive build-up of sludge or deposits. 8.1.1 Cleaning impulse hoses It is recommended that the impulse lines are periodically cleaned to prevent the excessive build-up of sludge or deposits.
Page 56
8.1.1.2 Visual checks of ILVA20 It is also possible to carry out some simple checks on the ILVA20, though to do so the ILVA20 would need to be removed from the line. Checks possible: With the ILVA20 held in a vice (with soft jaws) with the cone and shaft below, check that the cone is free to move up and down on the shaft.
Loosen the hose lock nuts and unscrew the hoses from the two way manifold. Loosen and remove the four screws connecting the two way manifold to the ILVA20 body. Carefully remove the manifold from the ILVA20.

8.2.3 How to replace the MVT10 pressure sensor. Ensure that the steam flow through the ILVA is isolated and the line pressure has returned to atmospheric pressure and the temperature cooled. Close the isolation valves on the two way manifold and open the bleed valves on the MVT10 to allow the condensate to drain.
