Process gas
Illustration2: P&ID LT71
The intended use of the Pressure regulator LT71 is pressure relief of a gas from an inlet pres-
sure to a fixed or adjustable outlet pressure.
This pressure reduction is performed by the pressure regulator. It is equipped with a pressure
gauge to show the outlet pressure. The outlet pressure is set to the desired value by turning the
of the handwheel on the pressure regulator and must not exceed the defined maximum value
given on the label.
In the case of the single-stage pressure regulation present here, the set outlet pressure does
not remain completely constant and instead rises slightly as the inlet pressure decreases (e.g.
caused by a draining cylinder).
4.3 Technical data

Familiarise yourself with the necessary work steps (see "Installation work [}14]") and prepare
the necessary tools.
5.2 Installation work
5.2.1 Connecting the incoming and outgoing lines
All lines must be connected in accordance with the applicable standards and specifications and
tested with purge gas (pressure test and leak test). The specifications on dimensioning of the
connections are described in the "Design" chapter.
1. Connect the process gas input of the pressure regulator to the gas source or the process
gas line. Do not use an adapter between the gas source valve and the cylinder or bundle
connection of the pressure regulator!
Observe the identification of the inputs (IN) and outputs (out) or the arrow for the flow direc-
tion.
2. Connect the process gas output of the pressure regulator to the process.
3. Connect the waste gas outlet of the pressure regulator to the waste gas lines, if necessary.
5.3 Checking the armature
Check all connections for leakage.

Spectron Gas Control Systems GmbH Commissioning | 6
GES_LT71_1122 15
6 Commissioning
6.1 Preparations for commissioning
Purge the armature prior to initial commissioning! It is imperative to adhere to the direction of
the gas flow when doing this! You must not purge counter to the usual direction of flow (from the
tapping point to the process gas source), as this can flush debris resulting from the installation
work, for example, back into the armature.
The connecting threads and connecting surfaces of the gas source valves as well as the sealing
rings must be checked to ensure that they are in perfect condition.
Always turn shut-off valves as far as the stop when opening or closing them.
Valves and ball valves must always be moved slowly and by no means abruptly.
Make sure that:
– the fittings are marked for the corresponding gas type,
– all protective caps have been removed,
– the assembly has been correctly carried out and a pressure test has been performed,
– all ball valves and valves are closed (the red marking is visible in the handwheel window)
and
– the pressure regulator has been depressurised (if possible),
– the on-site exhaust gas system (if present) is functional at all times and is in operation,
– all shut-off armatures are checked for loose connections and
– the controller (if fitted) is in operation.
6.2 Procedure for commissioning
Flushing in the entire line network to the process must be implemented via a waste gas valve on
the process. To do this, refer to the system documentation for the consumer.
1. Close all valves and fully depressurise the pressure regulator by turning the of the hand-
wheel anticlockwise as far as it will go.
2. Open the process gas source valve and, if necessary, the downstream valves. Ensure that
the pressure regulator is not subjected to a pressure surge.
3. Slowly set the pressure regulator to the required outlet pressure. The process source pres-
sure and the gas type properties are to be taken into account here.
During regular operation, the system will be in supply mode.
For interrupting the supply or decommissioning, close all valves and fully depressurise the pres-
sure regulator by turning of the handwheel anti-clockwise as far as it will go.

7 | Operation Spectron Gas Control Systems GmbH
16 GES_LT71_1122
7 Operation
7.1 Exchanging the process gas source
NOTICE
Penetration of ambient air into the system
Each time you change the cylinder, ambient air gets into the connecting parts of the system. To
prevent the gas and the entire system from being contaminated, the connection must be purged
before gas is drawn from the cylinder again. In the case of non-toxic, non-corrosive gases, this
can be done by means of multiple pressure purges with process gas. In the case of corrosive or
toxic gases or gases that are hazardous in some other way, purging must be carried out with in-
ert gas.
WARNING
Gas source exchange
If a gas source exchange is performed incorrectly, gas leakage and poisoning of persons may
occur.
a) The gas source exchange are to be carried out by trained specialist personnel and never
unattended.
b) A pressure test must be conducted after each gas source exchange.
c) For each gas source exchange, a new seal suitable for the used gas is to be used.
d) Wear the personal protective equipment prescribed in the risk assessment.
With each exchange of the gas source, check the connection for leaks. We strongly recommend
replacing the sealing every time the gas source is exchanged. Always turn the shut-off valves
slowly and as far as the stop when opening or closing them!
Removing the empty process gas source:
1. Close the process gas source valve.
2. Briefly open the venting valve or decrease the pressure via the process.
3. Ensure that the pressure gauges indicate 0 bar and thus that the pressure regulator is fully
relieved.
4. Fully release the adjustable pressure regulator.
5. Disconnect the process gas source connection.
6. Mount the sealing nut on the gas source valve and protective cap on the process gas
source.
7. Identify, secure and remove the empty process gas source.
Connecting the new process gas source:

Spectron Gas Control Systems GmbH Operation | 7
GES_LT71_1122 17
8. Provide new process gas source, position in front of the bracket and secure using the safety
chain.
9. Remove and retain the protective cap and screw plug.
10. Check the port thread and gasket; a new gasket must be used each time the gas source is
exchanged.
11. Screw the process gas connection onto the gas source valve by hand and tighten it gastight
with a spanner.
12. Open the process gas source valve, build up pressure, and close it again. Check using leak
test spray whether the process gas port is leak-tight.
13. Slowly open the gas source valve.
The pressure regulator is ready for supply.
