WARNING!
FOR YOUR SAFETY AND PROTECTION, IT IS IMPORTANT THAT THE FOLLOWING PRECAUTIONS BE
TAKEN PRIOR TO REMOVING THE VALVE FROM SERVICE OR BEFORE ANY DISASSEMBLY OF THE VALVE:
1. At all times during this procedure, keep hands out of the valve. A remotely actuated valve could close at any
time and result in serious injury.
2. Know what media is in the line. If there is any doubt, check with the proper authority.
3. Wear any protective clothing or equipment normally required when working with the media involved.
4. Depressurize the line and valves as follows:
a. Open the valve and drain the line.
b. Close and open the valve to relieve any residual pressure that may be in the valve prior to removing the valve
from service.
c. After removal and prior to any disassembly, drain any remaining media by placing the valve in a vertical
position and carefully opening and closing the valve several times.
5. The practical and safe use of this product is determined by both the trim and body ratings. Read the name tags
and check both ratings. This product is available with a variety of trim materials. Some of the trim materials have
pressure ratings that are less than the body ratings. All the body and trim ratings are dependent on valve type and
size, trim material, bolting material, and temperature. Do not exceed these ratings.

  • Page 3: Description

    Description Direct Acting Actuator Model D52 actuators are linear-motion spring-return pneumatic diaphragm actuators, primarily intended for use with rising stem type valves. In the “normal” position (no air pressure on the diaphragm), the direct actuator holds the stem in its retracted position by means of a mechanical spring. Increasing air pressure in the upper diaphragm chamber thrusts the actuator stem downward and compresses the spring.
  • Page 4: Unpacking

    Unpacking • When hoisting up the actuator from its packing, use a standard belt suited to lift the actuator . Use two pairs of lifting rings in a way that the load is applied to them equally. See Fig. 1. However, if the control valve is hoisted up with the actuator, do not use lifting rings, but hoist the control valve as illustrated in Fig.
  • Page 5: Installation

    Installation This actuator is heavy and therefore needs to be handled carefully and properly, following the instructions given below. Failure to observe these instructions may cause serious injuries. • For installing it in your process piping, hoist it using a hoisting machine conforming to the Occupational Health and Safety Law.
  • Page 6: Maintenance Space

    The dimension “H” does not include space required for lifting equipment such as a chain block and hook.. Actuator size / model D52B / R52B 24 inches, or more D52C / R52C 30 inches, or more D52D / R52D 30 inches, or more Fig.
  • Page 7: Piping And Wiring Work

    Piping and Wiring work • Use dry and clean instrument air for the operation source of the actuator. • An appropriate pipe diameter shall be used for instrument air supply piping to such instruments as positioner, booster relay, etc. so that air pressure will not decrease in piping. •...
  • Page 8: Preparation For Operation And Operation

    Use dry and clean instrument air for the operation source of the actuator, and check that its air-pressure does not exceed the setting air-pressure indicated in the specifications. When you change it, please contact Koso America. • Check that no air leaks from the joint portion of the instrument air piping and the diaphragm clamping section (the actuator circumference).
  • Page 9: Operation

    Changing air-pressure by the spring range, check that the rod moves as  specified. When a positioner is attached, follow the instructions in the previous section (1) for adjustment and checking. Reverse action actuator (the valve opens when the instrument air- pressure is increased.) Apply the air-pressure, which is the minimum value of the spring range.

    The manual operation unit is an optional accessory used to open and close this control valve when operational air supply is not available. The structure is shown in Fig. 10 and 11. (1) Model: D52B/R52B, D52C/R52C Fig. 10. Direct action type Fig.
  • Page 12: Principle Of Operation

    Principle of Operation See Fig.8, 9 and 12 for the encircled part numbers. Direct operation In the direct action (DA) type, the valve closes when the air-pressure to the diaphragm chamber increases. When air-pressure is supplied from the instrument air connecting portion the diaphragm upper case 102 to the diaphragm chamber, which consists of the diaphragm upper case, the diaphragm 108 and the diaphragm plate 104, both of which are closely set together, are activated to press down the spring 109 and move downward.
  • Page 13: Daily Inspection And Periodic Inspection

    Check that abnormal noise and vibration is not occurring in the control valve and the piping. If abnormality is found in daily inspection and yet countermeasures cannot be taken immediately, perform maintenance by disassembly when the plant can be suspended or ask KOSO’s service representative in charge for repair.

  • Page 15: Disassembly

    Disassembly Please follow below instructions when disassembling this actuator. Separating the valve and actuator Follow the procedure indicated below. • Follow the instructions given below for separating, ensure not to damage the valve seat surface. • For the direct-action type, reduce the air-pressure within the diaphragm chamber to zero (valve-open state).
  • Page 16: Disassembling The Actuator

    Disassembling the actuator See Fig. 8 and 9 for circled part numbers. Take care not to damage the diaphragm front/rear surfaces and the actuator rod surface during disassembly work. Do not disassemble the assembly of the diaphragm and actuator rod unless any anomaly is found in a visual inspection of the following parts.
