Product description

Type-examination tested safety valves type LFA . DB…E according to Pressure Equipment Directive 2014/68/EU are pilot-operated 2-way cartridge valves in seat design with set relief pressure setting pmax.

The complete valve generally consists of one cartridge valve (1) for installation bores according to ISO 7368 and one respective control cover (2) with integrated sealed pressure limitation unit (4).

The factory nozzle fitting (9) ("X", "F") as well as the installed compression spring (10) must not be changed.

The installation position ("D") is not fitted. The cartridge valve (1) is designed as seat valve without area difference. The relief pressure effective at port A is directed to the spring chamber (6) of the cartridge valve (1) and to the pressure limitation unit (4) via channel X (5). The piston sealing (7) prevents an internal leakage from the spring chamber (6) to port B and thus increases the operational safety by avoiding gap filtration. Under the pressure value set at the pressure limitation unit (4), the spool (3) is pressure-compensated and remains closed in a seat-tight manner due to the spring force of the compression spring (10). The pressure equilibrium at the spool (3) is only changed when the relief pressure at port A is reached, namely by opening the pressure limitation unit (4), so that excessive hydraulic fluid directly flows to

channel B via the spool (3) and the pressure in A is limited to the set pressure value.

The pressure limitation unit (4) is optionally available with rotary knob. This allows for a manual reduction of the pressure adjustment without changing the relief pressure setting. This simplifies a regular functional test.

Valve mounting set (separate order)

Notices:

• For reasons of stability, exclusively the specified valve mounting screws may be used.

• The specified tightening torques were calculated with total friction coefficient μtotal = 0.09 ... 0.14; adjust in case of modified surfaces.

• The specified tightening torques stated are guidelines when using screws with the specified friction coefficients and when using a manual torque wrench (tolerance ± 10%).

Information

Safety instructions

• When selecting a type-examination tested safety valve, it must be observed that for the desired response pressure p the maximum flow possible lies below the admissible flow qVmax . According to the Pressure Equipment Directive 2014/68/EU, the increase in the system pressure due to the flow must not exceed 10 % of the set response pressure (see type key, component marking).

• The maximum admissible flow specified in the component marking qVmax must not be exceeded!

• Discharge lines of safety valves must end in a risk-free manner. Fluid must not accumulate in the discharge system (see data sheet AD2000 A2).

• Safety valves with adjustment type “1” (rotary knob) may only be unloaded in case of maintenance. Operation outside the specified pressure ranges is not admissible.

Always observe application notes:

The response pressure with a flow of 12 l/min and a hydraulic fluid viscosity of 46 mm2/s specified in the component marking is set by default. Within the admissible viscosity range, the response pressure may vary by +3 % (230 mm2/s) to -3 % (12 mm2/s).

• The maximum flow stated in the component marking applies for applications without counter pressure in the control line (port Y).

• By removing the lead seal at the safety valve, the approval according to the Pressure Equipment Directive becomes void.

• The nozzle fittings installed at the factory as well as the main spool compression spring must not be changed.

• Basically, the requirements of the Pressure Equipment Directive and of data sheet AD 2000 A2 have to be observed.

• In order to prevent unauthorized assembly, the valve assembly can be additionally secured by means of the valve mounting set (sealing) (separate order, see “Dimensions”).
