All Nuclear qualified actuators have a model number starting with an N prefix. In order to ensure and maintain the present level of qualification and auditability to the Emerson Qualification Report Number VA037274 and VA600529, Emerson requires that any maintenance or service work be performed by well-trained, equipped, prepared and competent personnel.
Installation and Operation Manual Section 2: Storage VA065043 Rev. E June 2014 Section 2: Storage For applications where the actuator is not put into immediate service, it is recommended that the actuator be cycled by clean dry air or nitrogen pressure at least once a month.
Section 3: Installation Installation and Operation Manual June 2014 VA065043 Rev. E Section 3: Installation Since there are many valve and actuator combinations, it is not practical to include detailed instructions for each type. Mountings are designed to be as simple as possible to keep guesswork out of installation. Actuators are shipped from the factory with the travel stops adjusted for approximately ninety degree rotation.
Installation and Operation Manual Section 4: Start-Up VA065043 Rev. E June 2014 Section 4: Start-Up When the actuator is first put into service, it should be stroked. This is necessary because the seals and packings having been stationary, causing them to take a "set".
Section 5: Operation of Emerson Actuator Installation and Operation Manual June 2014 VA065043 Rev. E Section 5: Operation of Emerson Actuator Controlled Operation Controlled operation is accomplished by pressurizing and depressurizing to the appropriate cylinder inlet(s) of a double-acting or spring-return unit(s) by means of an appropriate control valve.
New generation actuators include NCBB, NCBA300 and NG Series actuators. For availability of technicians and equipment to perform required actuator service, contact Emerson or their authorized nuclear representative. For actuators normally used in nuclear service, all bearing surfaces are gen- erally coated with a molybdenum disulfide or Ryton coatings and corrosion inhibitor.
June 2014 VA065043 Rev. E Lubrication Requirements For nuclear service, use Emerson provided ESLN-6. NOTE: This product is only intended for use in large-scale fixed installations excluded from the scope of Directive 2011/65/EU on the restriction of the use of certain hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment (RoHS 2).
VA065043 Rev. E June 2014 Section 7: Spare Parts For availability of replacement parts, contact Emerson or the nearest Emerson authorized nuclear representative. Assembly drawings are available that identify each individual part by a generic number applicable to each actuator Series.
