4.2 Thermomechanical The UDV 146 has a thermomechanical controller. The valve stem is equipped with a bifilar heating coil and is heated according to the heater voltage applied. The Regulation resulting deformation in extension is added to the set basic adjustment of the valve (→...
4.3 Operation at Low Gas When operating the valve at gas flows ≤10 mbar l/s, the orifice can be contami- nated by condensable vapors. Adsorbed vapors can be removed by baking the Flows valve in open position (at approx. 200 °C for 30 minutes). Such adsorption can be prevented by heating the valve during operation, for example with a heating jacket (→...
