How do you adjust a CLA valve?
Turn the CV adjustment screw clockwise on the opening speed control to make the main valve open slower. Turn the adjustment screw clockwise on the closing speed control to make the main valve close slower. When adjustments have been completed, tighten jam nuts.
Does valve control flow rate?
Flow control valves control the volumetric rate of the fluid that flows through them. Generally, changing the size of the orifice is how the flow rate is set and adjusted. A tapered needle moving in and out of an orifice or opening and closing the gap inside a ball valve changes this rate.
How do you test a control valve?
Low pressure closure test
- The test flange must be installed at one side of the valve, one side will be injected with pressure air and the other side will be filled with test liquid.
- The valve must be closed fully.
- Air pressure must be injected into the valve after that snoop at the inlet point of the valve.
What does a CLA valve do?
A Cla-Val “Modulating” Pilot Control will allow the valve to automatically compensate for line pressure changes. When pressure in the cover chamber is relieved to a zone of lower pressure, the line pressure at the valve inlet opens the valve, allowing full flow. A Hydraulic actuator is built into every Hytrol.
How does an altitude valve work?
An altitude valve is a pilot-operated valve that opens and closes to fill a high-level tower or tank hydraulically. The valve performs this function by sensing the static level of water in the tower. In these instances, water is vented from the chamber, making the valve open to re-fill the tank.
How do you calculate the flow of a control valve opening?
The volume flow rate for liquids can be calculated by multiplying the fluid velocity times the flow area. Thus, Cv is numerically equal to the number of U.S. gallons of water at 60°F that will flow through the valve in one minute when the pressure differential across the valve is one pound per square inch.
What does a flow check valve do?
Flow check valves are controls that prevent hot or chilled water from circulating in the heating or cooling system at certain times. We offer flow check valves (or boiler check valves) that provide positive shutoff when the circulator is not running, preventing the flow of water to radiation units.
What is the use of flow control valve?
A flow control valve adjusts and controls the volume flow of air within a pneumatic system. They can often be used to adjust the speed of operation of an actuator. They should not be confused with pressure controllers, or regulators.
What is the allowable leakage rate of a surface safety valve?
The maximum permissible leakage rates shall be 1.5 standard cubic feet (0.042 cubic meter) of gas per hour per inch of nominal pipe size.
What are the different types of CLA-Val flow control valves?
Cla-Val Flow Control Valves are available in various configurations including the ubiquitous Model 40-01 Rate of Flow Control Valve, Model 43-01 Combination Rate of Flow Controller and Shut-Off Valve, and Model 49-01 Combination Rate of Flow and Pressure Reducing Valve.
What is a 100-01 valve used for?
The Model 100-01 is the basic valve used in nearly all Cla-Val automatic control valves. It is the valve of choice for system applications requiring remote control, pressure regulation, solenoid operation, rate of flow control, liquid level control or check valve operation.
What are the applications of automatic control valves?
A typical application for this type of automatic control valve is as a pressure type filter effluent control valve where a constant flow rate is maintained despite variation in head loss through the filter, or anywhere a constant rate of flow is desired.
