2.2 Applications and purpose of use injury. Flowrox PVEG is made for processes involving pressure CAUTION! resistance, abrasion, corrosion and aggressive slurries. In open position, the PVEG valve is at full bore with no flow CAUTION indicates a hazard with a low level of risk restrictions.
2.3 General description Principle of operation Flowrox PVEG valve is built with a corrosion resistant and light-weight plastic body and a rubber sleeve as a standard structure. Removable sleeve means no parts of the body are in contact with the process medium.
2.4 Technical data Actuators Standard actuators: • Manual • Pneumatic Manual valves are closed by turning the hand wheel clockwise. Pneumatic actuators are with a fixed stroke and do not require external controls. The pneumatic actuator is designed for a nominal supply of 6 bar (90psi). Use correct sized pneumatic hoses to ensure sufficient air flow.
When storing used valves, wash the valve with fresh water and follow the steps above. For storage periods greater than 36 months, please contact Valmet as the rubber parts need to be changed before use. Lifting equipment must be used for valves weighing over 25kg.
4 INSTALLATION WARNING! Crushing hazard. Do not put your hands or fingers inside the sleeve when the valve cycles. Do not energize the actuator before the valve is properly attached to the pipeline. Disconnect and de-energize the actuator before installation and maintenance work. High pressure injection hazard.
The pipeline flanges are parallel, concentric and with Bolt/hex nut torques over 30 Nm may cause damages to correct distance. the Flowrox PVEG body. Never “pull” the whole pipeline • The flange connection bolts size is correct. with flange bolts to get the flanges tight.
6 MAINTENANCE 6.3 Spare parts To ensure correct and quick delivery of spare parts, the order 6.1 General maintenance and checks must contain at least the following information: WARNING! • Valve type • Serial number Unexpected start-up hazard. • Spare part name and quantity (example: Sleeve, 1 piece) De-energize actuators before maintenance.
6.5 Troubleshooting Table 7. Troubleshooting. Problem Possible reason Action Flange connection is loose Tighten the flange connection bolts to correct torque Leakage from flange connection Pipeline flanges and valve are misaligned Check that the flanges are parallel and concentric with the valve Damaged valve body Check valve body for scrapes and sharp edges and change if damaged Unsuitable sleeve material for process...
