VAG Shut-Off Valves with Brake-and-Lift Cylinder
Application
- Safety valve in case of pipe breaks (high-speed shut-off valve)
- Pump check valve
- High-speed opening valve
- Turbine inlet safety valve
Product features
- Closing and opening of a valve by way of a brake-and-lift cylinder with adjustable moving speed after electrical or mechanical activation of the hydraulically locked actuator.
- Connection console with integrated oil tank
- Lifting drive with hydraulic piston pump
- Separate hand pump
- Cylinder with mounted-on common control block
- Adjustable opening and closing times
- Stepped closing time with final position damper unit
- Position switch to signal the closed and open positions of the valve
- Terminal box housing all electrical connections
- Switching cabinet (optional)
- Option mounting units:
- Bypass tap for manual operation (initiate closing by hand)
- Oil-level switch
- Thermostat in the oil tank
- Oil filter with soiling indicator (mechanical or electrical)
- Float actuation
- Accumulator with pressure switch
- Tripping device for pipe break device
- Second motor pump (redundant drive)
- Additional position switches for intermediate positions
- Angle-of-rotation transducer for analogue position indicator
- Enhanced corrosion protection (screwed connections of hydraulic lines made of stainless steel)
Required design specifications
- Valve type (EKN butterfly valve, RKV plunger valve, KHW ball valve)
- Area of application and/or place of installation (e.g.: pipe break device)
- Nominal diameter, pressure rating
- Maximum differential pressure
- Maximum flow velocity
- Arrangement of the actuator (e.g. in flow direction on the right)
- Moving direction of the brake-and-lift cylinder (e.g. falling against the direction of flow)
- Motor voltage / frequency and degree of protection
- Voltage and type of solenoid valve e.g. closed-circuit current – idle open
- Closing time / opening time
