    Safety instructions and measures

    Responsibilities of the operatorOperators are responsible for proper operation and compliance with the safety regulations. Operators are obliged to provide these mounting and operating instructions as well as the referenced documents to the operating personnel and to instruct them in proper operation. Furthermore,operatorsmustensurethatoperatingpersonnelorthirdpartiesarenotexposedto any danger.

    Responsibilities of operating personnelOperating personnel must read and understand these mounting and operating instructions as wellasthereferenceddocumentsandobservethespecifiedhazardstatements,warningsand caution notes. Furthermore, operating personnel must be familiar with the applicable health, safety and accident prevention regulations and comply with them.Theoperatorisadditionallyresponsibleforensuringthatthelimitsfortheproductdefinedinthe technical data are observed. This also applies to the start-up and shutdown procedures. Start-up and shutdown procedures fall within the scope of the operator's duties and, as such, are not part of these mounting and operating instructions. SAMSON is unable to make any statements about these procedures since the operative details (e.g. differential pressures and temperatures) vary in each individual case and are only known to the operator.

    Referenced standards and regulationsTheregulatorscomplywiththerequirementsoftheEuropeanPressureEquipmentDirective2014/68/EU.RegulatorswithaCEmarkinghaveanEUdeclarationofconformity,whichincludes information about the applied conformity assessment procedure. This EU declaration ofconformityisincludedinthe'Certificates'section.AccordingtotheignitionriskassessmentperformedinaccordancewithEN 13463-1:2009,section 5.2, the non-electrical regulators do not have their own potential ignition source even in the rare incident of an operating fault. As a result, they do not fall within the scope of Directive2014/34/EU.

    Î Keep all relevant markings and inscriptions on the device in a constantly legible state.

    Î Immediately renew damaged, missing or incorrect nameplates or labels.

    Risk of hearing loss or deafness due to loud noise.The noise emissions depend on the valve version, plant facilities and process medium.

    Î Wearhearingprotectionwhenworkingnearthevalve.

    Risk of personal injury due to pressurized components and process medium being discharged.Incorrect opening of pressure equipment or mounting parts may lead to the process medium escaping to the atmosphere.

    Î SeeFig. 3-1TheType 33-7ExcessPressureValve(SEV)consists of the main valve with actuator and the pilot valve attached to it.Thesafetyexcesspressurevalveisusedtomaintain the pressure upstream of the main valve to a set point adjusted at the pilot valve.Thesafetyexcesspressurevalveopensastheupstream pressure p1 rises.Whenthesafetyexcesspressurevalvestartstoopen,theprocessmediumfirstflowsthrough the pilot valve (8) before the main valve(1)opens.Duringwhich,theforcesacting on the plug in the main valve are eliminated by the balancing bellows (5).The upstream pressure p1 is fed through the control line (10) to the pilot valve (8). The pilot valve (8) creates a control pressure pS. It functionsasanexcesspressurevalveandcontrols the main valve (1).The control pressure pS is transferred through the control line (12) and acts on the operat-ing diaphragm (6).The control pressure pS drops when the upstream pressure p1 rises. The force resulting from the control pressure pS acting on the operating diaphragm (6) and the forces created at the positioning springs (7) fall below the force of the prevailing upstream pressure p1. The main valve (1) opens.

    A decrease in upstream pressure p1 causes the control pressure pS to rise. As a result, the control pressure pS gradually reaches the same level of the upstream pressure p1 causing the main valve (1) to be closed by the positioning springs (7).Upon failure of the operating diaphragm (6), thesafetyexcesspressurevalveopensandthe pressure falls below the adjusted pres-sure p1.

    To ensure proper functioning of the regulator, the minimum differential pressure Δpmin must correspond to the pressure specified in Table 3-1.

    Pressure gaugesInstall a pressure gauge at a suitable point to monitor the pressures prevailing in the plant (3 and 5).

    Any impurities carried along by the process medium may impair the proper functioning of the regulator. We recommend installing a strainer (e.g. SAMSON Type 2 NI) upstream of the excess pressure valve (u EB 1015).

    Shut-off valvesWerecommendinstallingashut-offvalve(1and 6) both upstream of the strainer and downstream of the regulator. The shut-off valves ensure that the entire plant does not need to be shut down for service and repair work on the regulator.

    InsulationRegulators can be insulated to reduce heat energy transfer.Refer to the instructions in the 'Installation' section.

    Leakage classThe soft-seated regulator has the leakage classIVaccordingtoIEC 60534-4.

    Note

    Type testThe device has been typetested as a safety excesspressurevalve(SEV)bytheGermanTechnicalInspectorate(TÜV)accordingtotherequirementsstipulatedintheAGFW(Ger-manDistrictHeatingAssociation)documentFW504(seeTable3-1).The test mark is available on request.

    Temperature rangeDependingonhowtheregulatorisconfig-ured and the process medium used, it can be useduptotemperaturesof150 °C(seeTa-ble 3-1). The minimum temperature is limited by the accessories used and the actuator's diaphragm material (u T 2551).

    Noise emissionsSAMSON is unable to make general state-ments about noise emissions. The noise emis-sions depend on the regulator version, plant facilities, process medium and operating conditions.

    Dimensions and weightsTable 3-4 provides a summary of the dimen-sions and weights. The lengths and heights in the dimensional drawing are shown on page 3-7.

    The work described in this section is only to be performed by personnel appropriately qualifiedtocarryoutsuchtasks.

    4.1 Accepting the delivered goods

    After receiving the shipment, proceed as fol-lows:1. Check the scope of delivery. Check that

    thespecificationsonthevalveandactua-tornameplatematchthespecificationsinthe delivery note. See the 'Markings on the device' section for nameplate details.

    2. Check the shipment for transportation damage. Report any damage to SAMSON and the forwarding agent (refer to delivery note).

    3. Determinetheweightanddimensionsofthe units to be lifted and transported in order to select the appropriate lifting equipment and lifting accessories. Refer tothetransportdocumentsandthe'De-sign and principle of operation' section.

    4.2 Removing the packaging from the regulator

    The tested regulator is delivered as an as-sembled unit.Proceed as follows to lift and install the regu-lator:

    Î Donotopenorremovethepackaginguntil immediately before lifting to install the valve into the pipeline.

    Î Leave the regulator components in its transport container or on the pallet to transport it on site.

    Î Donotremovetheprotectivecapsfromthe inlet and outlet until immediately be-fore installing the valve into the pipeline. They prevent foreign particles from enter-ing the valve.

    5.4 Testing the regulator

    Risk of bursting due to incorrect opening of pressurized equipment or components.Regulators and pipelines are pressure equip-ment that may burst when handled incor-rectly. Flying projectile fragments or the re-lease of process medium under pressure can cause serious injury or even death.Before working on the regulator:
