Consequently the foree of the spring (12) moves the diaphragm assembly (15) ‘downwards and by means ofthe lever system (16) adjusts the positon ofthe valve plug (5), thus resetting the pressure andthe flow ratetothe required values. The reverse occurs whea the flow rate demarcd decreases. Atzero flow, rate the egolator guarantees full ihtness Shut-off Valve Operation ‘The regulators als fted with relief valve built into the diaphragm holder assembly (15) which, calibrated by means ofthe spring (13), serves to discharge externally, trough the vent (10), possible overe pressure created in the cbambers 14 and 18, ‘The capacity ofthis valve is limited, Regulator Calibration ‘The regulator is supplied with albration values specified inthe order. Ifa different outlet pressure is required, select the eomect spring to ‘obtain tis set pressure. (Once the suitable spring (12) is installed, proceed as follows: +o increase the outlet pressure value: rolate in a clockwise direction the serewing ring (11) until the required value is read on the downstream manometer, + to reduce the outlet pressure val proceed likewise but rotate the sewing ring in an anticlockwise Girection. It is recommended to proceed slowly waiting for dhe pressure 10 stabilize ater each movement ofthe secewing rng ‘These operations canbe done either with the regulator in operation or with the downstream stop valve closed (ensuring a small vets open downstream to give a small flow). Operating Principle of the Shut-off Valve The pressure regulator canbe ited with an independent shut-off valve ‘consisting ofa shut-off valve easing (21) anda diaphragm assembly (5), which controls a mechanical ball system enabling the release of | the valve. ‘The shutoff valve is iggered when the pressure value inthe chamber (22) increases or decreases beyond the calibration values established and thus moves the entire assembly (29) from a balanced position, The ‘tem (27), which ia connostod tthe valveplug (19)io wiggoredd under the force ofthe spring and comes immediately ito contact with the orifice (2), cutting automatically the flow of the fluid. Forseries 3211 the shutoff valve operates only forover-pressure shut- ‘off for series 3212 it operates for both over and low-pressure shut-off. Calibration OF The Shut-off Valve Ifthe setvalues ofthe shut-offare to be modified, proced a follows: (A) overspressure shut-off operation : rotate th outside shut-off screwing rng in a clockwise direction to increase the pressure values, or anticlockwise to reduce i (B) low-pressure shut-off operation : likewise but on the central shutoff serewing ring. Figg. abd Resetting of the Shut-off Valve ‘Theshut-offvalve musthe reset only afer verifying the reasons forthe intervention and after having re-established normal operating condi tions, proceeding as follows: (A) close the dovmstream stop valve; (B) remove the cover (25), unscrewing it (see fg. a); (C)screwitupside down into the stom (23) unt iteomes into contact with the cover (see fig. b); (D)continuetoserew itslowly;thiscausesthe valvetoopenstowly and pressure fills the downstream pipe pice; (8) pull the cover outwards to permit seating ofthe balls on the sta: this operation ensure resetng (see fig. ¢); After these operations, sorew the ever to is housing (se fig. ) and ‘open slowly the downstream valve (Caution: or saieiy seasons, the Cover must absolutelso be ) Serene to is housings shown n he hetatc section.Installation Procedure ‘Before installing the regulator its important ‘clean the upstream pipe; itis recommended to instal a cartridge ‘ker upstream of the apparatus (B) check thatthe regulator has not been visibly damaged during ‘tanspor. ‘When installing the regulator (©) check tha the flow ofthe gas corresponds to the arrow moulded on the body ofthe regulator. (D) to obrain proper operation ofthe regulator, it s essential for its ‘mplse intake to be connected on the downstream pipe; the pressure intake, according to the installation scheme, must be connected to @ siraight piece ofthe downstream pipe. For hispurpose tis recommended: )t0 weldihe pressure intake nwo ‘he upper par of the downstream pipe to avoid impurities 2) to avoid ay poiats on the impulse line where impurities could collect. | good engineering practice. The installation mustalso comply with | ational andor international relations snd standards ( Caution: in addition, the regulator must be installed according, i > (©) instalation Installation Scheme (D) Installation => Start-up Instruction After installing the regulator, check that: (1) the stop valves (1), downstream (11) and the bleed cock (9) are closed; {@) the gas pressure is not higher than the allowable limits; (@) ifthe apparatus i fited with a shut-off valve, the shut-off valve ‘must be closed “After verifying the above mentioned points, proceed a follows: (A) open the upstream stop valves (1) slowly and just enough to ensure avery smal low of gas; check the upstream pressure Enuge Os (2) re i sn ve ne aR east valve") (© cbeck thatthe downstream pressure is sing slowly on the manometer (10) + the downsieam pressure should stop atthe required pressure value or ata value a ite higher, {) when the upstream pressures also stabilised, slowly open the ‘stream stop valve (1) ta fll open position; () then slowly open the downstream sop valve (1).
