(see chapter 11.16) 11.15 Rotor 11.15.1 Clearance settings DMN-WESTINGHOUSE valves have been manufactured with great care. To reduce air leakages, internal running clearances are kept extremely small during manufacture and assembly of the valve. CAUTION! Always set clearances as mentioned on the sales order confirmation.
Page 202
Special clearances are to be set with product temperatures of 50°C and higher, ac- cording to special instructions, depending on size and material of the valve. Product characteristics may influence the clearance. If in doubt, please contact DMN- WESTINGHOUSE (refer to chapter Contact information).
IOM MANUAL / ROTARY VALVES: OUTBOARD, 5.0.0 11.15.2 Rotor adjustment standard executions 11.15.2.1 Rotor with fixed blades Fig. 127 Adjustment for axial clearance Instruction The rotor must be adjusted in axial direction (at both sides) with a tolerance between the machined surfaces of the rotor.
