McCANNA CryoSeal Ball Valves FCD MMENIM2007-01-AQ – 04/15 ® Introduction 1.1 Purpose This Installation, Operation and Maintenance Manual explains how to install and maintain McCANNA CryoSeal ball valves. Information on installation, disassembly, reassembly, lubrication, and parts ® is provided. 1.2 User Safety Safety notices in this manual detail precautions the user must take to reduce the risk of personal injury and damage to the equipment.
Installation 2.1 General McCANNA Cryoseal valves may be installed up to 45° from the vertical position. These valves are unidirectional due to the need for cavity relief and must be installed in the correct orientation. Installation methods and procedures should follow good industry practice, such as contained in MSS-SP-92, or similar document.
McCANNA CryoSeal Ball Valves FCD MMENIM2007-01-AQ – 04/15 ® 2.3.2 If necessary, valves may be welded in line without disassembly, however special precautions must be taken. The valve should be in the open position during welding and remain open until it cools to ambient temperature.
McCANNA CryoSeal Ball Valves FCD MMENIM2007-01-AQ – 04/15 ® Periodic Inspection and Adjustment 3.1 General 3.1.1 Good operating and maintenance procedures include periodic inspection of valves and other piping system components to ensure that they are operating properly. Inspection schedules must be determined by individual user, but as a minimum should consist of visually examining valves for external leakage, and making adjustments as necessary.
McCANNA CryoSeal Ball Valves FCD MMENIM2007-01-AQ – 04/15 ® 3.3 Bonnet Gasket Bolting Re-tightening 3.3.1 Bonnet gasket leakage must be stopped immediately to avoid damage to the valve body/ bonnet joint surfaces, and contamination of the surrounding area. Tighten bonnet bolting to the torque values specified (in Table 3) following the sequence shown in Figure 6.
McCANNA CryoSeal Ball Valves FCD MMENIM2007-01-AQ – 04/15 ® Disassembly 4.1. Dissassembly a WARNING: Do not attempt any maintenance of these valves while in operation or under pressure. Actuated valve air and/or electrical power supplies must be locked off and isolated prior to any maintenance work.
4.2.2 Damaged or badly worn parts should be replaced using only parts or repair kits supplied by Flowserve. Valve parts considered for repair should be evaluated by an Authorized McCANNA Repair Center to determine if repair is possible. NOTE: Body seat surfaces are lapped flat, and must be checked for flatness and cleanliness before reassembly.
McCANNA CryoSeal Ball Valves FCD MMENIM2007-01-AQ – 04/15 ® Reassembly Refer to CryoSeal Parts Identification (Figure 3) for this section. NOTE: Lubricating this valve during assembly is recommended as described in preceding steps 4.2.3 and 4.2.4 Assembly will be easier, the valve operating torque will be lower, and the valve seal will be tighter.
