Operations Operating Modes The Flow Diversion device consists of two (2) valves. Each is a two-position, three-way valve connected by a common body. This common body is the upper body of the Divert Valve and the middle body of the Leak Detect Valve. The air-to-raise actuators of the two valves are connected to independent air supplies which cycle the valves to the three operating modes;...
Operations Flush Mode In this mode, correctly pasteurized product flushes and clears the common body between the Divert Valve and the Leak Detect Valve, prior to initiating product Forward Flow. The flush time is controlled by a Flow Divert Valve controller. This control system is separate from the Divert and Leak Detect Valves, but works in conjunction with them.
Operations Forward Flow Mode Forward Flow is the final operating mode of the Flow Diversion Valve. Product flows through both valves to the cooling sections of the pasteurization system. For the Forward Flow mode to be maintained: 1. The legal set temperature must be maintained. 2.
ThinkTop for FDV Addendum ThinkTop Indication Specifications ThinkTops use micro chip sensor technology which provides a more accurate position sensing than mechanical switches. The micro chips in the sensor, utilizing a principle called the Hall Effect, calculate the position of the indicating target to a very high degree of accuracy.
ThinkTop for FDV Addendum Valve Assembly Test and Sealing Instructions The ThinkTop sensors on these 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. Sealing wire To test the sensor adjustment: thumb screw...
Recommended Cleaning Recommended Cleaning The valve is designed for cleaning in place (CIP). CIP = Cleaning In Place. Study the instructions carefully and pay special attention to the warnings!NaOH = Caustic Soda. HNO3 = Nitric acid.
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.
General Maintenance General Maintenance Maintain the valve regularly. Study the instructions carefully and pay special attention to the warnings!Always keep spare rubber seals and lip seals in stock. Step 1 Always read the technical data thoroughly Always release the compressed air after use. Caution! All scrap must be stored/disposed of in accordance with current rules/directives.
