CLA-VAL 90-01 Owner's manual

The Cla-Val 90-01/690-01 is an automatic control valve designed to
reduce higher inlet pressure to a steady lower downstream pressure
regardless of changing flow rate and/or varying inlet pressure. lt is a
hydraulically operated, pilot-controlled, diaphragm type globe or angle
valve. When downstream pressure exceeds the pressure setting of the
control pilot, the main valve and pilot valve close drip-tight. The control
system is very sensitive to slight pressure changes and immediately con-
trols the main valve to maintain the desired downstream pressure.
Pressure setting adjustment is made with a single adjusting screw that
has a protective cap to discourage tampering.
INSTALLATION
1. Allow sufficient room around the valve assembly to make adjustments
and for servicing.
2. lt is recommended that gate or line block valves be installed on both
ends of the 90-01/690-01 valve assembly to facilitate isolating the valve for
maintenance. At a minimum of one pipe diameter apart.
NOTE: BEFORE THE VALVE IS INSTALLED, PIPE LINES SHOULD BE
FLUSHED OF ALL CHIPS, SCALE, AND FOREIGN MATTER.
3. Place the valve assembly in the line with flow through the valve in the
direction indicated on the inlet plate or by flow arrows. Check all fittings
and hardware for proper makeup and that no apparent damage is evident.
Be sure main valve cover nuts/bolts are tight. As pressure in some applica-
tions can be very high, thorough inspection for proper installation and
makeup is strongly recommended.
4. Cla-Val Valves operate with maximum efficiency when mounted in hor-
izontal piping with the cover UP, however, other positions are acceptable.
Due to size and weight of cover and internal components of six-inch and
larger valves, installation with the cover up is advisable and provides greater
accessibility to internal parts for periodic inspection
5. Caution must be taken in the installation of this valve to insure that
galvanic and/or electrolytic action does not take place. The proper use
of dielectric fittings and gaskets are required in all systems using dis-
similar metals.
OPERATION AND START-UP
1. Prior to pressurizing the valve assembly, ensure that the necessary
gauges to measure pressure in the system are installed as required by the
system engineer. A Cla-Val X101 Valve Position Indicator may be installed
in the center cover port to provide a visual indication of the valve movement
during start-up.
CAUTION: During start-up and test procedures, a large volume of water
may be discharged downstream. Check that the downstream venting is
adequate to prevent damage to personnel and equipment. All adjustments
in pressure should be made slowly while under flowing conditions.
If the main valve closes too fast, it may cause surging in upstream piping.
2. If isolation valves (B) are installed in pilot system, open these
valves (see schematic).
3. Optional Cla-Val CV Flow Controls (C or S) provide adjustable regula-
tion of flow in and out of the main valve chamber to minimize pulsations
that sometime occur at very low flow rates. If CV Controls are installed,
loosen jam nut and turn adjustment screw counterclockwise from closed
position 3.5 turns for an initial setting.
4. Open the upstream gate or block valve just slightly to allow the main
valve assembly and pilot system to fill with liquid.
5. Carefully loosen tube fittings at highest points and bleed air from pilot
control system. Carefully loosen the plug at top of main valve cover to
bleed air from cover. If an indicator is installed, carefully loosen the air
bleed valve at top of indicator. Tighten tube fittings.
6. Open the upstream gate or block valve fully.
7. Slowly open the downstream gate or block valve. Flow should occur
and pressure should remain constant.
8. Adjust the CRD Control to desired pressure. To change pressure setting,
turn the adjusting screw clockwise to increase pressure, counterclock-
wise to decrease pressure. There must be liquid flowing through the valve
during pressure adjustments. When the desired setting has been made,
tighten jam nut and replace cover.
9. To check the operation of the valve, open and close the downstream
gate valve. The downstream pressure should remain constant.
10. If opening and closing speed controls (C or S) are installed in the valve
pilot system, fine tune the opening and closing speed of the main valve
while performing step 9. Turn the CV adjustment screw clockwise on the
opening speed control to make the main valve open slower. Turn the
adjustment screw clockwise on the closing speed control to make the
main valve close slower. When adjustments have been completed,
tighten jam nuts.
MAINTENANCE
1. Cla-Val Valves and Controls require no lubrication or packing and
maintenance, however, should be inspected a minimum of once annually.
2. Repair and maintenance procedures of the Cla-Val Hytrol Main Valve
and pilot control components are included in a more detailed IOM manual.
It can be downloaded from our web site (www.cla-val.com) or obtained by
contacting a Cla-Val Regional Sales Office.
3. When ordering parts, always refer to the catalog number and stock
number on the valve nameplate.
