OPERATION
Flow through the check valve overcomes the
spring force to open the main check valve
element. When the disc lifts in response to
an increase in main flow, the bypass flow is
decreased as the port openings in the disc stem
begin to close. Conversely, as the pump flow is
reduced, the check disc moves downward and
at a designated point starts to uncover the disc
stem ports allowing bypass flow to begin.
The sizing of the main check/trim is such that
the bypass flow starts before the main flow
drops below the minimum pump flow specified.
The combined main and bypass flows provide
a total greater than the minimum pump flow
requirement.
Bypass flow enters the disc stem passage
through the slots and the round ports and
around the annulus in the bypass bushing. It
then continues through the bypass where the
helix element conditions the flow at the valve
bypass outlet. The recirculation flow rate is
controlled by the disc slot sizing. Occasionally
higher pressure applications may require the
use of a Back Pressure Regulator (BPR) in the
bypass line for proper pressure letdown.
GENERAL
These sizes in the 9200 ARC®(Automatic
Recirculation Control) valve series are designed
to provide protection for low to moderate
pressure (ASME/ANSI 150 and 300 Class)
centrifugal pumps against overheating and
possible unstable operation during low load
periods. The valve functions simultaneously
as (1) a check valve - to prevent reverse flow
through the pump and as (2) a bypass control
valve - to maintain the minimum required
pump flow and provide pressure letdown.

OPERATIONAL CHECK
When the valve is properly installed the
combined main and bypass flows should equal
or exceed that of the specified minimum pump
flow. If operational checks indicate a deviation
from the original specifications and field
adjustments are necessary, contact Yarway
for additional information.
INSTALLATION (REFER TO FIGURE 1)
The 9200 Series valve is sized and configured
based on specifications provided by the user.
Make certain that these conditions are still
applicable. Changes in pressure, temperature,
normal main flow and minimum flow
requirements could result in unsatisfactory
performance. If operating conditions have
changed, contact Yarway; modifications
mayberequired prior to installation.
Remove all packing material. Place the valve
on wooden blocks with the flow arrow pointed
down. Push the disc from its seat and flush
away any packing materials with compressed
air or high pressure water. The disc should
move freely (against the spring load) through
the entire stroke length until contacting the
upper stop. This may not be practical on
larger sizes.
The valve may be installed with the main flow
direction either horizontal or vertically up.
Thedirection of bypass flow may be selected
tosuit the installation.
VALVE MAINTENANCE
Except for periodic operational checks the
valve requires little maintenance. The disc
assembly, spring, bypass bushing and flow
conditioner should be inspected coincident
withother annual inspections. Make certain
that all pressure is relieved and the pipeline
is securedagainst pressurization before
attempting disassembly for inspection
purposes.

6. The bypass bushing (6) is press fitted
in place. This is not considered a field
replaceable component. If excessive wear
is apparent, please consult with factory
forrepair.
7. If the flow conditioner (5) shows excessive
wear it can be removed by pencil grinding
the tack welds and lifting the worn part
fromthe body (1). A replacement flow
conditioner can then be installed and
re-tack welded in place using ER-309
weldwire.
CAUTION
Do not attempt to lift these valves using a strap
or chains around the webs on the upper stop(2).
These screws (19) will not support the valve
weight. Lift these valves using eye hooks in
theholes provided for the flanged connection.
If it becomes necessary to handle this valve
from the bypass side, do not attempt to lift these
valves using a strap through the helix on the flow
conditioner (5). The tack welds are not intended
tosupport valve weight. Lift these valves using
eyehooks in the tapped holes provided for the
flanged connection.
DISASSEMBLY AND INSPECTION
(REFER TO FIGURE 2)
1. Remove the valve from the line and orient
the main vertically up.
2. Evenly unfasten the upper stop jacking
screws (10) relieving spring compression
until the upper stop is free. Remove the
upper stop, inspect and replace gasket (8)
and snubber seal (9).
3. Remove the spring (7) and inspect for
damage.
4. Lift the disc assembly until it clears the
valve body. Inspect the disc stem, slot
surfaces and snubber seal (9) for damage
orexcessive wear.
Note: if substantial flow and pressure
related damage is found on the disc, special
attention should also be given to the bypass
bushing during inspection to assure it is
undamaged.
5. Examine the check valve seat for evidence
of wear. This surface can be reconditioned
by lapping the disc to the body. First use
180grit (medium-coarse) followed by
360grit (fine). The finished surface should
be 360 degrees and a minimum of ½ the
available seat width. Clean thoroughly
aftereach lapping operation.
REASSEMBLY (REFER TO FIGURE 2)
Reassemble the valve by reversing the above
disassembly procedure taking care not to
damage the snubber seal when lowering
theupper stop into the disc.
Inspect the condition of all the sealing
surfaces. It is recommended that all O-rings
and seals be replaced at each disassembly.
Use an appropriate O-ring lube for the
specified elastomer taking care not to pinch
orsheartheseals during installation.
