Valves with electro-mechanical actuatorsfor quick opening or closing action

4/97

Normally closed shut-off valves are used inburner system fuel supply lines on industrial boilers,furnaces, ovens, kilns, and other heating processes.All valves are designed to shut-off fuel automaticallyand instantly with an interruption in the electric powersupplied through your safety circuit.

These valves are also used for the manual ormotorized opening or closing of pipe lines carryinggases and liquids commonly used in industrial proc-esses. Normally closed valves cannot be opened untilthe interlocking safety control circuit is proven andresulting electrical power is supplied to the shut-offvalve.

Motorized automatic valve actuators are usedwhere remote access or unmanned applications areneeded.

NOTE: Valve motors and solenoids are protectedagainst thermal overload. If the valve duty cycle isexceeded, the motor and/or solenoid must be allowedto cool before the internal thermal protection willautomatically reset.

Manual reset actuators require operating person-nel to be physically present to actuate the valve fromits at rest position.

Normally open vent valves are most often usedas the bleed valve in a block-and-bleed pipe train,sometimes required by insurance authorities. Theyare designed to open a vent line automatically andinstantly upon an interruption in the electric powersupply through your safety control circuit.

These normally open valves are also used inprotective atmosphere systems and other gaseousand fluid service requiring quick opening or by-passpurging action.

Like the normally closed versions, both automaticand manual reset actuators are available for remoteaccess locations, or when operating personnel'sphysical presence is preferred.

All Maxon valves feature one-piece cast iron orcast steel bodies with micro-lapped seats and discs.Straight-through flow path minimizes pressure dropthrough full open swinging gate or rising stem (guillo-tine action) bodies.

Valve Body Design Details

To provide fuel shut-off in your process service lines, Maxonuses two different styles of valve bodies:

Rising stem (guillotine action) bodies are frequently usedin normally closed and normally open gas valves. The micro-lapped, spring loaded guillotine disc gets a pressure assist fromthe flowing gases to seal against the downstream micro-lappedmetal seat ring. The carefully machined seal surfaces andextremely close tolerances of the valve body operating mecha-nism promote positive closing action. Frequent cycling actionconstantly shears accumulated dirt or residue from the disc andseat to insure instantaneous and reliable sealing.

The location of the port in the disc is the basic differencebetween normally open and normally closed valve bodies. Bothvalves function by the top assembly mechanism driving the stemand disc down into the valve body, opening (or closing) the flowpath. Both valves trip to their rest position when their topassembly's compression spring is released to pull the stem andconnected disc up out of the body.

Swinging gate bodies are frequently used as normallyclosed oil valves and for some special service gas applications.This design provides the same seal capabilities, but in a slightlydifferent operating mode. The hard faced micro-lapped seat nutis threaded into the one-piece valve body. The free-floating, hardfaced, spring loaded circular disc swings across the seat. Linepressure also assists in sealing the disc to the downstream seat.

Here again, frequent use and cycles actually helps to keepyour valve clean. Since the free-floating disc is swinging acrossthe circular seat nut on the arc created by the disc carrier, thedisc rotates slightly on every cycle. This provides a fresh, cleansurface area for sealing off the flow lines.

Maxon valve bodies have special service trim optionsavailable to meet your particular fluid service requirements.

Table 2: Normally open valve bodiesTable 1: Normally closed valve bodies

Each complete valve assembly must include one ofthese valve bodies, regardless of ultimate seriesdesignation.

Flows through the valve body and resulting pres-sure drops may be estimated by inserting yourspecific conditions into the following formula andusing C

v flow factors given for each valve body.

Gases: Q = (1360) x (Cv) x (P1+P2) (P1–P2)

G Tf 2

Liquids: V = (Cv) x (P1–P2)

Gf

Where:G = Gas specific gravity (air = 1.0)G

f= Specific gravity @ flowing temperature °F

P1

= Inlet pressure PSIA (14.7 psi + psi gauge)P

2= Outlet pressure PSIA (14.7 psi + psi gauge)

Q = Cubic feet per hour @ 14.7 PSIA and 60°FT

f= Flowing temperature absolute (460° + °F)

V = Flow in U.S. gallons/minute of water

x

NOTE: Typically, pressure drop for gas flows should notexceed 10% of inlet pressure; however, for 2" and smallervalves, the drop should not exceed 5 PSIG, and for 2-1/2"and larger valves, must not exceed 2.5 PSIG.Select valve size on basis of the lower of these parametersto avoid critical flow conditions.

To select a valve forYOUR application, useeither C

v factor calcula-

tions, or this graphshowing approximatepressure drop at variousflows of #2 oil.

Typically, pressuredrop for fuel flowsshould not exceed 10%of inlet pressure.

For preheated #5 or #6 oil, multiplythe required flow rate in GPH by thefactor given in the table at right, thenselect a valve based upon thatequivalent flow of #2 oil and theallowable drop.

Rising Stem Body/Trim Specifications

All Maxon Rising Stem Gate Valves carry a two-parttrim identification (for example, Trim 1-1).

The first digit (a 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5 before the hyphen)identifies valve body and bonnet material as shown inTable 1 below.

The second digit (a 1, 2, or 3 after the hyphen)identifies the specific internals used, as described inTable 2 and identified in the sketches at right.

Internal trim -1 is normally suitable for clean fuelgases (for example, natural gas, propane, butane,clean atmosphere gases).

Internal trim -2 may be required for clean gasesthat require Viton seals or such gases as coke oven,refinery, town or off-gas, or #1 and #2 fuel oils.Contact Maxon with specific fuel analysis for pricesand/or availability.

Internal trim -3 is designed for more corrosiveenvironments such as digester gas, sour natural gasand landfill gas. Contact Maxon with specific fuelanalysis for prices and/or availability.

Normally closed and normally open threaded andflanged body versions are identical in materialspecifications.

The drawing at right carries item numbers matchingthose in Tables 2, 3 & 4. This information is fur-nished for identification only, not for ordering parts.

WARNING: Do not attempt field repair of Maxon valvebody or electro-mechanical actuator. Any fieldalterations void all warranties.

Swinging Gate Body/Trim Specifications

Trim identification of Maxon Swinging Gate Shut-Off Valves is two-part. The first digit before the hyphenis a number (1, 2, 3 or 4) identifying body material asshown in Table 1 below. The second digit after thehyphen identifies a trim utilizing the materials indicatedin Table 2 below.

Standard sanctioned valves incorporating a cast ironbody will normally be identified by trim 1-B or 1-D.Sanctioned valves with steel body will normally betrim 2-D.

Non-sanctioned services or unusual applicationsmay require upgrading of internal trim. Contact Maxonwith specific fuel analysis for price and availability.

The drawings shown carry item numbers matchingthose in Table 2. This information is furnished foridentification only, not for ordering parts.

WARNING: Do not attempt field repair of Maxon valvebody or electro-mechanical top actuator. Any fieldalterations void all warranties.

Electrical Datafor normally closed valves

Good practice normally dictates that auxiliaryswitches in valves used for safety shut-off functionsshould be used for signal duty only, not to operateadditional safety devices.

Signal switch designations:VCS (Valve Closed Switch) is actuated at the end

of the closing stroke. VCS-1 is SPDT; VCS-2 is 2SPDT switches mounted side by side.

VOS (Valve Open Switch) is actuated at the end ofthe opening stroke. VOS-1 is SPDT; VOS-2 is 2SPDT switches mounted side by side.

Switch amp ratings are shown on the schematicwiring diagram below.

DO NOT EXCEED rated amperage or total loadshown.

GeneralAll Maxon shut-off valves are electrically actuated

from a power source, normally through the flamesafeguard and/or safety control circuits.

Standard valve assemblies include an internalholding solenoid for 115 volt 50/60 hertz AC power.(230 volt 50/60 hertz available upon request.)

The solenoid is energized whenever the valve ispowered. The motor operator on automatic resetversions is powered only during the opening stroke.

Switch wiring diagram (reproduced below) is partof each valve assembly, summarizing electrical dataand a full complement of optional signal switches.

Diagram shows valve in its normally closed (at rest)position. The indicated internal wiring is present onlywhen the appropriate auxiliary switches are specified.Automatic reset valves always include a VOS-1 SPDTvalve open motor limit switch.

NOTE: Total VA of solenoid (manual reset valves) or solenoid and motor (motorized valves) must not exceed the limits shown.

Auxiliary Signal Switches

All Maxon NI Valves may be equipped with inter-nally-mounted hermetically-sealed signal switch(es) toprovide a proof-of-open or proof-of-closure valveposition indication. Auxiliary signal switches indicate

when valve is open or closed and are normally con-nected electrically into your control panel lights orwarning device circuit(s).

For normally closed valves:VCS hermetically-sealed (Valve Closed Switch) is

actuated when valve is fully shut. It is the upper,inverted snap-switch mounted on rear on switchbracket. VCS-1 is an SPDT (single-pole, double-throw) switch. VCS-2 is (2) SPDT switches mountedside by side. All contacts are available for externalcircuitry.

VOS hermetically-sealed (Valve Open Switch) isactuated when valve reaches full-open. It is the lower

snap-switch mounted on front of switch bracket. VOS-1 is an SPDT switch. On automatic reset valves, itsnormally closed contact serves as a motor limit switchand is not available for external circuitry. On manualreset valves, normally closed contact is available forexternal circuitry. VOS-2 is (2) SPDT switchesmounted side by side, used in lieu of VOS-1 foradditional contacts.

tory groups require the use of a double-valve or"block-and-bleed" system, but manual operation ispreferred to the use of automatic reset valves, opera-tion can be simplified by adding a tandem arrange-ment to a pair of Maxon manual reset shut-off valves.

A linkage overtravel spring in the tandem arrange-ment latches the blocking valve just before the mainvalve is latched, assuring latching of both valves.

Overhead wheel and chain assembly allowsoperation of a manual reset valve in an otherwiseinaccessible overhead location. A wheel is mountedonto the handle of the valve. The attached chain isweighted on one end and has a paddle handgrip onthe other.

Once the valve is electrically energized, pullingdown on the paddle will open normally closed ver-sions or close normally open versions.

Maxon valve's free-handle design permits valve totrip to its rest position on any power interruption.

Wheel and chain assembly includes a length ofchain to position the paddle handgrip slightly belowpipe centerline. A standard length of 7 feet of chain isincluded with CP and larger valve sizes and 5 feet isincluded with all other valves. Extra chain (in one footincrements) may be specified to fit your specificlocation.

NOTE: Overhead wheel & chain can only be mountedon swinging gate valves with the top assemblyposition TO.
