YARWAY MODEL 20 PNEUMATIC DIAPHRAGM ACTUATOR
INSTALLATION, OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
ACTUATOR/DESUPERHEATER DISASSEMBLY 
(SEE FIG. 6 AND 7)
Before any maintenance operation on the 
Yarway Desuperheater fitted with a Yarway 
actuator model 20 - 55/20 - 90, please 
carefullyfollow these instructions:
• Isolate or bypass the steam supply.
• Check steam line is cooled down and 
pressure free.
• Shut-off Desuperheater water supply.
1. Cut-off the air supply to the positioner 
via the air filter regulator. Disconnect the 
pneumatic connections and the electrical 
connections of the positioner on the 
network. Disassemble on the actuator side 
the pneumatic connections to the positioner.
2. Disconnect the lever of the positioner from 
the stem coupling (mechanical linkage).
3. Slightly supply the actuator to lift the 
Desuperheater piston from the seat. 
Disassemble the upper and lower 
couplings(27) (see fig. 6 and 7) through 
the screws. Cut-off the air on the 
diaphragmcasing.
4. Unscrew the lock nut (see Installation, 
Operation and Maintenance Manual of the 
A.T.-Temp Desuperheater) and lift the entire 
actuator from the Desuperheater.
DISASSEMBLY
This operation is only needed for:
• To change the diaphragm.
• To change one or several springs.

Make sure that the identification number (indicated on the nameplate) is verified and specified when ordering spare parts.
Diaphragm exchange
• Cut-off the air supply to the positioner via the 
air filter regulator. Disconnect the pneumatic 
connections and the electrical connections of 
the positioner on the network. Disassemble 
on the actuator side the pneumatic 
connections to the positioner.
• Remove all short bolts (18), rings (21) and 
nuts (20) on the bolt circle. Progressively 
unscrew the 4 long bolts (19), located on 
a quadrangle on the circle, to unload the 
springs. After having released the 4 bolts, 
take the upper casing (1) away.
• Unscrew plate bolt (3) whilst avoiding 
the actuator stem (10) rotation by using 
the square located on the half upper 
coupling(27). Take diaphragm plate (4) 
away. Withdraw diaphragm (5) and replace 
it by a new one. Tighten diaphragm plate by 
applying160 Nm on bolt (3).
• Reassemble the upper casing by using the 
4 bolts (19), load the springs until complete 
tightening of the diaphragm and complete the 
short bolts circle in a clockwise, criss-cross 
pattern with a max. torque of 40 Nm.
Exchange of one or more springs
• Same instructions as for diaphragm 
exchange, except spring plate (6) has to 
betaken away.
• Change damaged springs (7/8) and 
reassemble in the opposite way.
