qualiedpersonnelonly;theacceptedindustrycodesandpracticesareto
be observed. Make sure employees or third parties are not exposed to any
danger.
− All safety instructions and warnings given in these mounting and operating
instructions, particularly those concerning installation, start-up, and mainte-
nance, must be strictly observed.
− According to these mounting and operating instructions, trained personnel
refers to individuals who are able to judge the work they are assigned to
and recognize possible dangers due to their specialized training, their
knowledge and experience as well as their knowledge of the applicable
standards.
− The devices comply with the requirements of the European Pressure Equip-
ment Directive 2014/68/EU. Devices with a CE marking have an EU decla-
ration of conformity, which includes information about the applied conformi-
ty assessment procedure. This EU declaration of conformity can be provided
on request.
− To ensure appropriate use, only use the regulator in applications where the
operatingpressureandtemperaturesdonotexceedthespecicationsused
for sizing the regulator at the ordering stage.
− The manufacturer does not assume any responsibility for damage caused by
external forces or any other external factors.
− Any hazards that could be caused in the valve by the process medium, op-
erating pressure or by moving parts are to be prevented by taking appropri-
ate precautions.
− Proper transport, storage, installation, operation and maintenance are as-
sumed.

The differential pressure across the regulator
is used as auxiliary energy to operate the
valve. To open the regulator, this pressure
must be at least as high as the minimum dif-
ferentialpressure∆pminspeciedinTable1.
The attached pilot valve (acting as a pressure
reducing valve) determines the function of
the regulator.
Risk of uncontrolled excess pressure in the
plant.
Risk of bursting
If necessary, a suitable overpressure protec-
tion must be installed on site in the plant sec-
tion.
WARNING
!
2.1 Transportation and storage
The device must be carefully handled, trans-
ported and stored. Protect the regulator
againstadverseinuences,suchasdirt,
moisture or temperature outside the ambient
temperature range.
Do not remove the protective caps from the
valve ports until immediately before install-
ing the valve into the pipeline.
When regulators are too heavy to be lifted
by hand, fasten the lifting equipment to a
suitable place on the valve body.
Do not attach lifting slings or lifting equip-
ment to mounting parts, such as control
line, pilot valve etc.
The valve can fall or mounting parts may be
damaged.
Securely fasten slings or lifting equipment to
the valve body and secure against slipping.

Design and principle of operation
3 Design and principle of oper-
ation
See Fig.1 and Fig.2.
Themediumowsthroughtheglobevalve
(1) in the direction indicated by the arrow.
Thepositionoftheplugdeterminestheow
rate across the area released between plug
(3) and seat (2). The travel position of the pi-
lot valve (5) determines the pressure condi-
tions across the valve.
The forces created by the upstream pressure
p1acting on the plug surface and by the
control pressure pSacting on the balancing
bellows (4) or balancing diaphragm (11)
and the force of set point spring (3.1) are
compared.
IntheType2333PressureReducingValve,a
rise in downstream pressure p2causes the
pilot valve to close. The control pressure pS
increases and the plug of the main valve
starts to close. When the pilot valve is closed
(pS= p1), the pressure reducing valve (main
valve) is also completely closed.

Togetherwiththepilotvalve,thexedre-
striction(8)ortheVenturinozzle(6)create
the control pressure pS.
If the downstream pressure p2falls again be-
low the set point, the pilot valve opens. The
control pressure pSfalls as a result. The force
resulting from the upstream pressure p1act-
ing on the plug surface causes the valve to
open.
To ensure proper functioning, the minimum
differentialpressure∆pmin listed in Table 1
mustbeavailableasspecieddependingon
theeldofapplication.
The regulator version for steam is only avail-
able with valves balanced by a bellows. This
version has a compensation chamber (10)
alreadyttedinthecontrolline.Theneedle
valve (9) is open and lead-sealed. A com-
pensation chamber and needle valve are ad-
ditionally required for the version for steam
invalvesizesDN65to100.

berwithwateratthetoplleropening.

Installation
4 Installation
See Fig.3.
Select the installation location making sure
that the regulator is installed at a distance of
at least six times the valve size (DN) away
frompipettingsorinstrumentsthatcause
owturbulence(e.g.pipebends,manifolds,
pressure measuring points or other valves).
Theycanchangetheowconditionswhich
may lead to an instable control process es-
pecially in applications with gases, air or
steam.
Contact SAMSON to obtain the
TV-SK17041 documentation which contains
more details on installation requirements.
4.1 Notes on installation
Install the ready-assembled regulator in hori-
zontal pipelines.
− Flush and clean the pipeline thoroughly
before installing the regulator. Other-
wise, impurities in the pipeline may im-
pair the proper functioning of the valve,
above all the tight shut-off.
− Thedirectionofowmustmatchthedi-
rection indicated by the arrow on the
body.
− Install the regulator free of stress. If nec-
essary, support the pipeline near the
connectinganges.Donotattachsup-
ports directly to the valve or actuator.
− Install a strainer upstream of the regula-
tor.
− Protect the regulator from icing up when
controlling media that can freeze. If nec-
essary, depressurize and drain the regu-
lator and remove it from the pipeline
while the plant is shut down.
The side on which the operating elements
(hook-up of the pilot valve) are located var-
ies depending on whether a valve balanced
by a bellows or a diaphragm is used.
Mounting orientation
Observetheowdirection.
Valve balanced by a bellows
− Bellows including
housing suspended downward.
Valve balanced by a diaphragm
− Balancing diaphragm (diaphragm sec-
tion) pointing upward
Insulation ·Toinsulatecoldsystems,we
recommendrstllingtheplantandcarefully
rinsingit(seesection5.1).Theregulator
must not be insulated until the set point is
adjusted.
− Start up the plant and adjust the set
point. Shut down the plant again and let
it heat up until the condensation water
has dried off.
− Afterwards, insulate the regulator and
pipes conveying the process medium
using insulation material with a water
vapor barrier. If the pilot valve has a
spring, it must must be protected by a
sleeve to allow it to move. The spring-
loaded actuator stem must not touch the
insulation.
Note


10 EB 2552-1 EN
Installation
Thermal insulation
Do not insulate the pilot valve as well in ap-
plications with medium temperatures above
80°C.
Pipeline routing
The inlet and outlet lengths vary depending
on several variables and process conditions
and are intended as recommendations.
Contact SAMSON if the lengths are
signicantlyshorterthantherecommended
lengths.
To ensure that the regulator functions proper-
ly, proceed as follows:
ÎObserve the inlet and outlet lengths (see
Table2).ContactSAMSONiftheregula-
tor conditions or state of the medium
process deviate.
ÎInstall the regulator free of stress and
with the least amount of vibrations as
possible.
ÎFor media with a tendency to conden-
sate, install the pipeline with a slight
downward slope on both sides so that
the condensate can drain properly. If the
pipeline upstream and downstream of
the regulator run vertically upwards, an
automatic drainage is required.
ÎInstalltheregulatorallowingsufcient
space to remove the actuator and valve
or to perform service work on them.
Note
Pressure testing of the plant·Thepressure
must not exceed the maximum permissible
pressure of the regulator and plant on testing
the pressure of the plant when the regulator
is already installed. An excessive test pres-
sure can damage the balancing bellows or
diaphragm. If necessary, remove the regula-
tor from the pipeline or isolate the regulator
in the pipeline and install a bypass.
4.2 Strainers
Installastrainer(e.g.SAMSONType1/
Type2)upstreamofthepressurereducing
valve.
− Thedirectionofowmustcorrespondto
the arrow on the body.
− Do not use the strainer to permanently
ltertheprocessmedium.
− Thelterelementmustbeinstalledto
hang downwards or sideways for appli-
cations with steam.
Remember to leave enough space to remove
the lter element.
4.3 Shut-off valve
Install a hand-operated shut-off valve both
upstream of the strainer and downstream of
the regulator. This allows the plant to be shut
down for cleaning and maintenance, and
when the plant is not used for longer periods
of time.
