  • Page 4: Description

    XLC 470 Description (ref. picture 1 on page 4) The pilot operated control valve XLC 400 series Mod. 470 is designed to automatically maintain a constant level of a tank, regardless of upstream pressure variations, through a high sensitivity pilot connected to the static pressure (5) of the tank itself.
  • Page 5: Handling And Storage

    XLC 470 Handling and storage Lifting the valve improperly may damage it and the equipments around. It is mandatory not to fasten the valve around the circuit, fittings, pipes, solenoids or position indicators. Valves must be lifted only by cables, chains, located around the body, through the flanges holes or eyebolts. During hoisting always consider that the center of mass depends on the circuitry and pilots installed.
  • Page 6: Installation

    CSA control valves to allow for maintenance.  The operating fluid must be free of air, air valves (CSA Mod. FOX 3F AS combination anti- slam) should be installed upstream . This to avoid the accumulation of air pockets during working conditions and allow air discharge during pipe filling and commissioning.
  • Page 7 XLC 470 The connection to the pilot’s pressure port should always sense the static pressure of the tank, do not use the inlet out outlet pipe from the tank difference pressure generated by the valve during pressure sustaining/relief function will produce a thrust proportional to the pressure itself. Anchorage blocks and way of preventing valve’s movement or shifting need to be taken into account.
  • Page 8: Set Up

    Always leave enough time for the system to balance, in case of doubts and problems allow for some flow through the by-pass to stabilize the line and call CSA technical support.  Make sure the isolation ball valves of the circuitry (2-3-4-5) are fully open ...
  • Page 9 Valves epoxy painted FBT Maintenance CSA automatic control valves XLC 400 series have been designed with a sturdy and reliable construction to minimize servicing and possible malfunctioning. However we recommend to inspect them at least twice per year releasing the air accumulated inside the bonnet and checking the strainer inside the GR.I.F.O, if present, or placed as a separate entity in the circuitry.
  • Page 10: Maintenance Of Mpz Pilot

    XLC 470 MPZ – Altitude control pilot The altitude control pilot is a diaphragm operated valve, spring loaded and direct acting, that can be installed basically in any position. The function is to reduce and stabilize the downstream pressure value taken on the sensing port, regardless of flow rate and upstream pressure fluctuations, usually being the static pressure of the tank...

  • Page 17 XLC 470 1) Checking the diaphragm In order to verify if the diaphragm has suffered any damage simply proceed as follows: a) slowly close the upstream and downstream gate valves; b) close all the ball valves of the circuit; c) completely open the air vent valve from the position indicator, if the latter is not present the fitting of the isolation valve on the chamber;...
  • Page 18 XLC 470 The clogging can be located between the seat and obturator if the indication rod is in closed position and the flow continues, or between the sealing seat and cap if the valve does not reach the complete opening. Before proceeding to dismantling the cover, it is suggested to do some manual opening and closing operations putting the main chamber under pressure and discharging it.
  • Page 19 XLC 470 Disassembly As mentioned before make sure that the gate valves upstream and downstream of the valves have been properly closed and set tight. Relieve the pressure of the main chamber simply by closing the isolation valves of the circuit and opening one of its fittings.
  • Page 20 XLC 470 Reassembly To reassemble do the reverse of the disassembly procedure positioning the main shaft back into the grip along with all the pieces. It is very important not to forget the O-Ring (21) and to set the nut tight (10) to assure a proper torque between the diaphragm and the plane gasket. Please be extremely careful with this step because a nut not properly tight may engender movements making the mobile block unstable, therefore affecting the valve’s performance.
