Electrical Connections and Commissioning Test Procedures for Tuchenhagen PMO Valve Type M-C/2.O Test procedure 2 The methology behind test procedure 2 is to allow the Regulatory Inspector to manually force open the seat opposite to the valve housing which is part of an active CIP circuit to ensure that proper control system interlocking is in place.
Cleaning and Passivation Cleaning Cleaning and Passivation Cleaning All parts in contact with product must be cleaned at regular intervals. Always observe the safety data sheets issued by the cleaning agent manufacturers. Only use cleaning agents which do not cause damage to the seals and inner valve parts. During pipe cleaning, the cleaning fluid also flows through the valve housings and cleans them.
Cleaning and Passivation Passivation We recommend that the cleaning parameters for the system should be defined during the test phase in order to save cleaning medium. To optimize seat cleaning, spot checks on the valve are performed after cleaning to ascertain whether the valve seats and the sealing surfaces are clean.
Malfunctions Malfunctions In the event of malfunctions immediately deactivate the valve and secure it against inad- vertent reactivation. Malfunctions may only be remedied by qualified staff, who must observe the safety instructions. Malfunction Cause Remedy Valve does not work Fault in the Check the system configura- tion control system...
