1 Safety instructions and measures
Intended use
Thepressurelimiter(PL)withType2401-2PressureElementandsafetypressurelimiter(SPL)
withType2401-1PressureElementareusedtolimitthemaximumpressureinheatgenera-
torsorheatexchangersbyclosingandlockingamountedvalve.Whenequippedwithaty-
petested control thermostat or safety thermostat, the device is also used to limit the tempera-
ture.
Thedeviceisdesignedtooperateunderexactlydenedconditions(e.g.operatingpressure,
process medium, temperature). Therefore, operators must ensure that the device is only used
inoperatingconditionsthatmeetthespecicationsusedforsizingthedeviceattheordering
stage. In case operators intend to use the device in applications or conditions other than
thosespecied,contactSAMSON.
SAMSON does not assume any liability for damage resulting from the failure to use the de-
viceforitsintendedpurposeorfordamagecausedbyexternalforcesoranyotherexternal
factors.
ÎRefertothetechnicaldataandnameplateforlimitsandeldsofapplicationaswellas
possible uses.
Reasonably foreseeable misuse
Thedeviceisnotsuitableforuseoutsidethelimitsdenedduringcongurationandbythe
technical data. Furthermore, the following activities do not comply with the intended use:
− Use of non-original spare parts
− Performing service and repair work not described
Qualications of operating personnel
Thedevicemustbemounted,startedup,servicedandrepairedbyfullytrainedandqualied
personnel only; the accepted industry codes and practices must be 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hazardsduetotheirspe-
cializedtraining,theirknowledgeandexperienceaswellastheirknowledgeoftheapplica-
ble standards.

Safety instructions and measures
Personal protective equipment
Werecommendcheckingthehazardsposedbytheprocessmediumbeingused(e.g.
uGESTIS(CLP)hazardoussubstancesdatabase).
ÎProvide protective equipment (e.g. safety gloves, eye protection) appropriate for the pro-
cess medium used.
ÎCheck with the plant operator for details on further protective equipment.
Revisions and other modications
Revisions,conversionsorothermodicationsoftheproductarenotauthorizedbySAMSON.
Theyareperformedattheuser'sownriskandmayleadtosafetyhazards,forexample.Fur-
thermore, the product may no longer meet the requirements for its intended use.
Warning against residual hazards
To avoid personal injury or property damage, operators and operating personnel must pre-
venthazardsthatcouldbecausedinthedevicebytheprocessmediumandoperatingpres-
sure by taking appropriate precautions. Plant operators and operating personnel must ob-
serveallhazardstatements,warningandcautionnotesinthesemountingandoperatingin-
structions, especially for installation, start-up and service work.
Wealsorecommendcheckingthehazardsposedbytheprocessmediumbeingused(e.g.
uGESTIS(CLP)hazardoussubstancesdatabase).
ÎObservesafetymeasuresforhandlingthedeviceaswellasrepreventionandexplosion
protection measures.
Responsibilities of the operator
Operators are responsible for proper use and compliance with the safety regulations. Opera-
tors are obliged to provide these mounting and operating instructions as well as the refer-
enced documents to the operating personnel and to instruct them in proper operation. Fur-
thermore,operatorsmustensurethatoperatingpersonnelorthirdpartiesarenotexposedto
any danger.
Responsibilities of operating personnel
Operating personnel must read and understand these mounting and operating instructions as
wellasthereferenceddocumentsandobservethespeciedhazardstatements,warnings
and caution notes. Furthermore, operating personnel must be familiar with the applicable
health, safety and accident prevention regulations and comply with them.

Safety instructions and measures
Referenced standards, directives and regulations
The devices comply with the requirements of the European Pressure Equipment Directive
2014/68/EU. Devices with a CE marking have an EU declaration of conformity, which in-
cludes information about the applied conformity assessment procedure. The EU Declaration
of Conformity is available on request.
Referenced documentation
The mounting and operating instructions of the mounted valve apply in addition to these
mounting and operating instructions.
1.1 Notes on possible severe personal injury
DANGER
!
Risk of bursting in pressure equipment.
The valve and pressure element are pressure equipment. Improper opening can lead to
device components bursting.
In the installed state, the spring in the operating element is preloaded. Incorrect dis-
mantling will release a high amount of energy, which may lead to serious injury.
ÎDo not dismantle the device.
ÎContact SAMSON's After-sales Service for support concerning maintenance or re-
pairworkorwhenmalfunctionsordefectsarise(seesection9).
1.2 Notes on possible personal injury
WARNING
!
Risk of personal injury due to residual process medium in the valve.
Whileworkingonthevalve,residualmediumcanowoutofthevalveand,depend-
ing on its properties, cause personal injury, e.g. (chemical) burns.
ÎIf possible, drain the process medium from all the plant sections affected and the
valve.
ÎWearprotectiveclothing,safetyglovesandeyeprotection.

8 EB 2519 EN
Safety instructions and measures
WARNING
!
Risk of burn injuries due to hot or cold components and pipelines.
Depending on the process medium, valve components and pipelines may get very hot
or cold and cause burn injuries.
ÎAllow components and pipelines to cool down or warm up to the ambient tempera-
ture.
ÎWearprotectiveclothingandsafetygloves.
1.3 Notes on possible property damage
NOTICE
!
Risk of valve damage due to contamination (e.g. solid particles) in the pipeline.
The plant operator is responsible for cleaning the pipelines in the plant.
ÎFlush the pipelines before start-up.
ÎObservethemaximumpermissiblepressureforvalveandplant.
Risk of valve damage due to unsuitable medium properties.
Thevalveisdesignedforaprocessmediumwithdenedproperties.
ÎOnlyusetheprocessmediumspeciedforsizingtheequipment.
Risk of leakage and valve damage due to excessively high or low tightening
torques.
Observethespeciedtorqueswhentighteningvalvecomponents.
Excessivetighteningtorquesleadtopartswearingoutmorequickly.Partsthataretoo
loose may cause leakage.
ÎObservethespeciedtighteningtorques.
Risk of device damage due to incorrectly attached lifting equipment.
ÎDo not attach lifting equipment to mounting parts (e.g. capillary tube).

Design and principle of operation
3 Design and principle of
operation
TheType2401-1orType2401-2Pressure
Element is used in combination with
Type2111,Type2119andType24221)
Valves to form a pressure limiter (PL) or
safety pressure limiter (SPL) respectively.
TheType2401-1/-2PressureElementwith
its connecting element (8) is connected to the
bottom section (4) of the valve using the cou-
pling nut (7).
The medium passes through the strainer (13)
and the capillary tube (12) to an operating
bellowsintheType2401-1/-2PressureEle-
ment (9). It is converted here into a position-
ing force which is compared to the force of
the set point spring.
The spring force depends on the limit
adjustment(10).Whenthepressurereaches
the adjusted pressure limit, the spring
mechanism in the connecting element (8) is
triggered. The spring mechanism moves the
pin (6) and the plug stem (5) attached to it,
closing and locking the valve (1).
Additionally,theType2401-1SafetyPres-
sure Limiter closes the valve when the mea-
suredpressurefallsbelow0.8bar(gauge
pressure).
TheType2401-1/-2PressureElementcan
only be reset and put back into operation
with a suitable tool (lever with order no.
1490-7399) after the fault has been reme-
died and the pressure has fallen below the
limit.
1) FormerlyType2114
Assembly tool
An assembly tool (0230-3752) to mount the
safety pressure limiter is included in the
scope of delivery.
Type test
TheType2401-1andType2401-2Pressure
Elements have been tested in conjunction
withavalvebytheGermantechnicalsur-
veillance association TÜV. More details on
the type test are available on request.
3.1 Versions
(Safety) thermostat
Additionally, a thermostat or safety thermo-
stat to regulate or limit the temperature can
bettedtotheconnectingelementwith
spring mechanism (8).
Electric signal transmitter
An additional electric signal transmitter for
remote transmission of the plant state can be
attached to the operating element with
springmechanism(seesection5.4.2).
