Use & Applications
Malema Excess flow valves are used as safety devises to shut-off the flow of hazardous and expensive fluids in the event of rupture caused in downstream piping
Applications: Various fluids used in Oil & Gas, Petrochemical industries, Chemical industries

How It Works
• Poppet position is set for a given flow rate by adjusting the set screw.
•During normal operation poppet is open thereby allowing flow through seat.
•During the excess flow condition the poppet is closed due to suction effect and the fluid is held back.

A Typical Installation:By-pass Line Configuration
A reset valve is installed on a by-pass line
To Reset a closed excess flow valve:
•Close the isolation valve and
•Open valve in bypass line to equalize pressure in the main line

Additional Accessories Excess valve OPEN/CLOSE indication can be
provided with a use of differential pressure gauge.
Remote OPEN/CLOSE contact signal can be provided with a use of differential pressure switch. Useful for integrating with safety shutdown systems and other control strategies.
A combination of built-in reset with above features is also available as an option.

Operation
Confidential
16
As the fluid (liquid or gas) enters the valve, the pressure differential across the piston creates a venturi effect, accelerating the flow through the valve.
At a preset flow rate, when the differential exceeds the magnetic attraction between the piston magnet and the adjusting screw magnet, the piston travels instantaneously over towards the output port, thereby shutting off the flow.
When the pressure is equalized between both sides of the valve, the piston automatically returns to its previously adjusted flow set-point.
The shut off set point is field adjustable and this is achieved by turning the adjusting screw.
Various Options: Bleed to Atmosphere
Manual Rest option for non Hazardous medium

17
Excess Flow Valve with Intrinsic Reset Option
Suitable for hazardous fluid applications where even a small amount leak to the atmosphere during reset is not permissible.
Confidential
18
Bleed to Sample container
Suitable for costly and hazardous liquids where bleed during reset is directed towards a customer provided container. The integral bleed valve helps achieves this function.

M-VF FOR GAS CHROMOTOGRAPHS
M-VF can be used in the hydrogen carrier lines which helps hydrogen leaksInto atmosphere in the event of accidental line rupture.
