2 Safety instructions
2.1 Intended use
This vakuum valve is used to prevent underpressure in tanks and vessels in plants of the food and
drink industry, pharmaceutical and chemical industries as well as in biotechnology.
2.2 General notes
NOTICE - observe the operating instructions
To avoid danger and damage, the fitting must be used in accordance with the safety instructions
and technical data contained in the operating instructions.
NOTICE
All data are in line with the current state of development. Subject to change as a result of tech-
nical progress.
2.3 General safety instructions
WARNING
Risk of injury by outflowing medium
Dismantling the valve or valve assemblies from the plant can cause injuries.
a) Medias flowing through the leakage drain outlet are to be drained off without splashing into a
discharge arrangement.
b) Carry the disassembling only if when the plant has been rendered pressure-less and free of li-
quid and gas.
WARNING
Functional impairment at low temperatures
Low operating or ambient temperatures may applicable a impairment the function.
a) Therefore, appropriate measures shall be taken for an operation at temperatures below +5°C to
ensure a safe function of the valve.
CAUTION
Damage to the tank
The action of external force on the lever mechanism results in changes in the opening characterist-
ics. This can result in damage to the tanks.
CAUTION
Malfunction due to contamination
Internal or external dirt may impair the function of the fitting or the safety equipment.
ØTherefore the fitting must be operated in a way that protects it from external influences.
a) The fitting must be cleaned internal and external at regular intervals.
b) The fitting must be maintained at regular intervals.
c) The fitting must be checked for its function at regular intervals.
CAUTION
Remove transport insurance before initial operation.

avoid a prolonged storage
INFORMATION
Recommendation for longer storage
We recommend regularly checking the product and the prevailing storage conditions during long
storage times.
• To avoid damage to seals and bearings,
– products up to DN 125 / OD 5 inch should be stored horizontally for maximum 6 months.
– products larger than DN 125 / 5 inch, should be stored in the upright position with the actu-
ator on top.
• Don't store any objects on the products.
• Protect the products for wetness, dust and dirt.
• The product should be stored in a dry and well ventilated room at a constant temperature (op-
timal indoor temperature: 25 C ±5; indoor humidity data 70% ±5%).
• Protect seals, bearings and plastic parts for UV light and ozone.

Operating instruction | KIESELMANN GmbH4 | Function and operation
8 / 21 6164_EN
4 Function and operation
4.1 Description of function
The function of the vacuum valve is to prevent inadmissible pressure shortfalls (≤ 1bar absolute
pressure), in tanks and containers, which can result in damage. At underpressure, the valve opens
to the atmosphere. The pressure in the tank is brought to the atmospheric pressure by the inflowing
air. When the pressures become equal, the valve closes by the force of its weight without any ex-
ternal energy. The flow capacities referred to the relevant underpressure are shown in the capacity
diagram Performance chart [}19]
In addition, the valve can be operated via a pneumatic actuator (see chapter Pneumatic actuator
[}11]). The position of the actuator can be retrieved via sensors which are mounted at a sensor
mounting.
4.2 Commissioning, service and maintenance
4.2.1 Commissioning
4.2.1.1 Installation instructions
Fitting position
• The fitting is generally install vertical, as shown in the picture.
4.2.2 General welding guidelines
Sealing elements integrated in weld components must generally be removed prior to welding. To
prevent damage, welding should be undertaken by certified personnel (EN ISO 9606-1). Use the TIG
(Tungsten Inert Gas) welding process.
CAUTION
Damage and injuries due to high temperature supply
To avoid a distortion of the components, all welding parts must be welded to stress-relieved.
Allow all components to cool before assembling.
NOTICE
Damage due to impurities
Impurities can cause damage to the seals and seals area.
Clean inside areas prior to assembly.
4.2.3 ATEX - Guidelines
For valves or plants/installations that are operated in the ATEX area, sufficient bonding (grounding)
must be ensured (see valid ATEX Guidelines EG).
4.2.4 Service
Maintenance interval
The maintenance intervals depend on the operating conditions "temperature, temperature-intervals,
medium, cleaning medium, pressure and opening frequency". We recommend replacing the seals 2-
year cycle The user, however should establish appropriate maintenance intervals according to the
condition of the seals.

ricants.
RECOMMENDATION
Replacement of seals
To achieve optimal maintenance cycles, the following points must be observed!
a) When replacement of seals, all product-contacting seals should be replaced.
b) Only original spare parts may be installed.
4.2.5 Cleaning
Cleaning
The optimum cleaning is carried out with the tank or pipe cleaning.
4.3 Pressure setting
The vacuum valve is set at the factory, by correspondingly positioning the weight, to an underpres-
sure of 3 mbar. At this underpressure, the valve opens to the atmosphere.
