1.0INTRODUCTION
The Daniel Model 788DVC Digital Control Valve is a solenoid operated device designed to
TM
provide precise flow rate control and batch delivery of liquid products. It is used in conjunction with
an electronic batch control device such as the Daniel DL8000. The Model 788DVC valve is
automatically controlled by the DanLoad for low flow start-up, high flow rate control, low flow
shut-down, and final shut-off. It also provides for maximum flow meter accuracy by maintaining
a constant flow rate in applications with varying line pressure. The Model 788DVC features an
external pilot control loop that consists of a normally open solenoid pilot, a normally closed solenoid
pilot, strainer and opening/closing speed controls.
1.1Aggressive Products
Some Daniel control valves have been equipped with an “AP” (Aggressive Products) cylinder
assembly. This cylinder assembly may be supplied as a direct replacement for existing units or may
be supplied with the original order. It is designed for all Daniel 2", 3", 4" and 6", 150/300 lb. ANSI,
Series 700 Valves. Spring-loaded Teflon cup-seals are utilized on the main body piston and low
®
swell Nitrile O-rings in static positions. For specific instructions for receipt, installation and
maintenance of Control Valves containing the “AP” Cylinder Assembly reference manual 3-9008-
554. Also contained within this manual are complete instructions for retrofitting existing standard
valves with the “AP” Option package.
If you have questions or need information not contained in this manual, please contact your Daniel
sales representative or the Daniel Measurement and Control service center nearest you.

1.2Principle of Operation
Operation of the Model 788DVC Digital Control Valve is based on a balanced piston principle.
When pressure on both sides of the main valve piston are equal, a spring (located on the top of the
piston) acts as a differential force and closed the main valve piston. As pressure against the bottom
of the piston increases and exceeds the pressure exerted against the top of the piston, plus the force
of the spring, spring tension is overcome and the valve opens. Solenoid pilots are digitally controlled
- full open or full closed - and are used to determine the main valve piston position required for flow
control. Reference Figures 2-1, 2-2 and 2-3 for valve opening/closing positions.
EQUIPMENT DAMAGE
Read the entire recommended procedure for all installation operations and maintenance
procedures before attempting to install or disassemble the valve. Disassembly of this
cylinder assembly is different from previous Daniel Control Valves and requires strict
adherence to the procedures outlined in this manual.
Failure to read and comply with these procedures could result in damage to the equipment and
compromise in the integrity of the operation.

2.0THEORY OF OPERATION
The Model 700B Series Control Valve operates on a balanced-piston principle. When pressures on
both sides of the piston are equalized, a spring located on top of the piston acts as a differential force
and closes the piston. When the pressure against the bottom of the piston exceeds the pressure plus
the force of the spring exerted against the top of the piston, spring tension is overcome, and the valve
opens. See Figure 3-1 for more information.
These valves are normally closed (N.C.) and they will open when both solenoids are energized. The
valves are fail-safe as they close upon loss of power. They use the line product as the source of
hydraulic power to open and close the main valve piston. An electrical supply controlled by an
electronic preset is the source of power for energizing the two solenoids.
These valves are used mainly for batching and they provide a means of reducing the rate of flow on
on startup and before final shut-off of a predetermined delivery. This minimizes surges of pressure
and line shock and assures ± 1/4 gallon shut-off (sizes 2 inch - 8 inch) of the preset volume.
The total system generally consists of three pieces of equipment: (1) a flowmeter, (2) electronic
preset with digital control, and (3) a digital electric control valve. The electronic preset is the device
used to set the predetermined volume of liquid that is to be delivered by the valve.
2.1Operational Sequence
With both solenoids de-energized, the main valve is closed as shown in Figure 2-1. The main valve
can be infinitely positioned anywhere between 0 - 100% open by digital control of the solenoids.
With both solenoids energized, as shown in Figure 2-3, the valve begins to open. It will only open
to the programmed flow rate set in the electronic preset. Normally, the electronic preset is
programmed to digitally control low flow start-up, maximum flow rate, low flow rate before shut-off
and no flow. The electronic preset will automatically energize and de-energize the solenoids to
position the main valve to limit the required flow rate. When the required flow rate is reached, the
solenoids will be as shown in Figure 2-2. This hydraulically locks the main valve piston in position.
Should flow increase, the valve will close slightly to adjust to the required flow rate. All of the
positioning is done by digitally controlling the two solenoids as shown in Figure 2-1, 2-2 and 2-3.
THEORY OF OPERATION2-1
DEC 2012DANIEL MODEL 788DVC DIGITAL CONTROL VALVES
TM
CLOSED POSITION The normally closed solenoid is closed. The normally open solenoid is open. Y-port (P3) to Z-port
(P2) is closed. X-port (P1) and Y-port (P3) pressures are balanced. The main valve spring being the
differential force, closes the piston and keeps it seated.
Figure 2-1. Closed Position
THEORY OF OPERATION2-2
DANIEL MODEL 788DVC DIGITAL CONTROL VALVESDEC 2012

OPEN - CONTROL POSITION The normally closed solenoid is closed. The normally open solenoid is closed. Y-Port (P3) to Z-port
(P2) is closed. X-port (P1) to Y-port (P3) is closed. The product cannot flow to or from the top of
the piston. The piston is hydraulically locked in position until the electronic preset commands the
valve to open or close as required to maintain the desired high flow rate, or low flow rate.
Figure 2-2. Open - Control Position
THEORY OF OPERATION2-3
DEC 2012DANIEL MODEL 788DVC DIGITAL CONTROL VALVES
TM
OPEN POSITION - (no control) The normally closed solenoid is open. The normally open solenoid is closed. Y-port (P3) is open to
Z-port (P2). X-port (P1) is closed off by the normally open solenoid. The pressure on the bottom of
the piston (P1) is greater than the pressure at (P3) plus the spring force; (P1 minus P2) is equal to
or greater than the spring force. Therefore, (P1) pressure pushes the piston open. No flow control
is required.

The main valve is full open when curves B, C, and D intersect Curve A. After they intersect,
continue reading pressure drop curve from curve A. In applications requiring a constant pressure
drop over 40 psid a heavy main valve spring must be used.
Curves A, B, C and D are based on water (specific gravity: 1.0). For liquids having a specific
gravity of 0.8 or greater, multiply the pressure drop shown times the actual specific gravity.
This results in the actual pressure drop. For specific gravities less than 0.8, use 0.8 to get the
corrected pressure drop (curves B, C and D only).

4.0 INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE
The most common application of the Daniel Model 788DVC Digital Control Valve is for truck
loading of petroleum products. The valve may be used with a variety of flow meter types,
including Coriolis and turbine meters, as shown in Figure 4-1. In this installation the DL8000 is
the primary batch and control device. Reference Figure 4-2 and 4-3 for configuration
information.
Flow must be horizontal or vertical up but never vertical down.
4.1Recommended Installation Instructions
As with all control valves, it is most important that proper installation be accomplished if the
valve is to operate as designed. Preliminary set-up should include the following steps:
1.Evaluate the metering system in the process line to determine that criteria pertinent to
digital valve control is met.
•Minimum meter K-factor: 20 pulses/unit
•Minimum meter pulse frequency (low flow): 50 Hz
•Minimum opening time (shut-off to full open): 1.5 seconds
•Minimum closing time (full open to shut-off): 1.5 seconds
2.Reference engineering drawings for proper in-line sequence of all components.
3.Check valve position. The inlet flange has been marked and is to be in the upstream
position.
4.Verify all electrical connections against wiring diagrams and unit specifications.
Reference Figure 4-3 for Control Valve configuration.
INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE4-1

EQUIPMENT DAMAGE
It is recommended that the external pump control be turned to the OFF position when
performing any electrical wiring installation and until initial control valve adjustments
are made in the DL8000.
Failure to comply with these procedures could result in damage to the equipment and
compromise in the integrity of the operation.
5.Flush the line of any and all contaminates.
6.Bleed as much air as possible from the system before start up.
4.2General Considerations as Applied to the DL8000
Upon completion of the preliminary installation of the Digital Control Valve a Start-up
Adjustment Procedure must be administered. Reference “DL8000 Preset Controller Instruction
Manual”, P/N D301244X012.
INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE4-2
DANIEL MODEL 788DVC DIGITAL CONTROL VALVESDEC 2012

5.0CYLINDER DISASSEMBLY AND REASSEMBLY
The following tools will be needed to disassemble and reassemble your control valve:
•socket wrench
•adjustable wrench
•T-handle or extended Allen wrench
•arbor press (may be needed for 4- and 6-inch valves)
•retaining ring pliers
Numbers in parentheses correspond with the item numbers in Table 7-1 and Figure 7-1.
EQUIPMENT DAMAGE
Read the entire recommended procedure for all installation operations and maintenance
procedures before attempting to install or disassemble the valve. Disassembly of this
cylinder assembly is different from previous Daniel Control Valves and requires strict
adherence to the procedures outlined in this manual.
Failure to read and comply with these procedures could result in damage to the equipment and
compromise in the integrity of the operation.
5.1Cylinder Assembly Removal - All Daniel Valves
1.Isolate the Control Valve from the system and bleed off pressure.
2.Loosen and remove the tubing from the cylinder head.
3.Remove the nuts securing the cylinder assembly within the valve body.
4.Tighten the two jack screws provided in the cylinder head until the cylinder assembly has
been freed from the valve body. These screws should be tightened evenly to prevent damage
to the cylinder O-ring and binding the cylinder assembly.
5.Remove the cylinder assembly from the valve body by pulling upward and evenly using both
hands (on smaller valves) or a mechanical device (for larger models).
6.Remove the two jack screws from the cylinder head.

5.2Cylinder Disassembly
Refer to Figure 5-2.
PERSONAL INJURY AND/OR EQUIPMENT DAMAGE
Caution is required when performing any disassembly procedure as the Cylinder head is
bolted to a spring loaded cylinder assembly. Service should only be performed by trained
and qualified service personnel.
Failure to comply with recommended could result in serious injury and/or damage to the
equipment.
1.Position the cylinder assembly in an arbor press with the cylinder head (5) down. Valves
smaller than 6" may not require a press. Larger units may require the use of a spindle or
arbor press to facilitate removal of the piston assembly, in which case, the arbor should be
resting against the cylinder head.
2.Place a metal sleeve over the piston nose to protect the sense line during removal. This can
be fabricated from a pipe section and should have an internal diameter large enough to
encircle the piston nose. The length must be sufficient to accommodate complete spring
compression with allowing the sense line to strike the press plunger.
3.Using EXTREME CAUTION depress the piston against the spring until the rectangular
ports are cleared. Block the piston in the open position, fully compressed, by inserting a
suitable wedge through the port opening. Any wood, nylon or non-marring dowel or handle
that will safely guarantee piston position can be used for this operation. It is recommended
that a brass or other soft metal bar be used for this operation.
4.Remove the retaining ring, sealing ring and O-ring.
5.Using EXTREME CAUTION depress the piston against the spring and remove the piston
blocks. CAREFULLY remove the piston from the cylinder body while maintaining pressure
on the valve spring.

5.3Cylinder Reassembly
Refer to Figure 5-2.
1.Inspect all O-rings for wear and damage and replace as required.
2.If removed, attach the cylinder head to the main cylinder body.
3.Insert the valve spring into the cylinder housing.
4.Inspect and position the piston into the cylinder housing.
5.Insert the fabricated sleeve over the valve piston and spring assembly. Once fully
compressed, block the spring following the procedure used in step 3 of the Disassembly
procedure.
6.Inspect and reposition the seat O-ring.
7.Replace seating and retaining ring. Once the entire retaining ring is in its’ groove, position
a punch or screwdriver over the end of the ring and tap sharply. This will seat the ring.
8.Again, using CAUTION, apply pressure to the valve piston and remove the block. Carefully
relieve the tension on the spring until it is properly resting against the seat ring.
9.Reinstall the cylinder assembly in the valve body being careful to properly seat O-rings and
secure in place using lock nuts.

5.4Cup-seal Replacement on Existing “AP” Option Piston
If your Daniel Valve is being modified to accommodate applications requiring the use of aggressive
products used in petroleum blending operations, the following procedures should be followed in
retrofitting your valve.
Retrofit
5.4.1To Replace Existing Standard Cylinder Assemblies with the Current Daniel “AP” Option:
a. Remove original cylinder assembly as shown in Section 5-1. The cylinder assembly
will be supplied from the factory with or without an indicator (specified on order).
b.Clean and inspect O-ring sealing surfaces in the main valve body. Apply a
lightweight lubricant to these surfaces before installing the new cylinder assembly.
c.Lower the “new” cylinder assembly and cylinder head into the valve body. Align the
bolt holes in the cylinder head with the studs in the main valve body.
d.Fasten the cylinder head into position using retaining nuts. Tighten nuts, alternating
to opposite sides, to assure a uniform seat.
e.Return all tubing and/or valve accessories to their original position.
f.The cup-seals (27) should be protected at all times against damage or distortion of
any kind.
g.Proper installation dictates that cup-seals (27) be installed with the closed ends
facing “in”.

5.4.2To upgrade existing valves having the original “AP” option (received prior to September
1992), the following parts have been supplied as a separate kit:
- washers (29)
- Stat-O-Seals (30)
- one gasket (31)
- three O-rings (replaces existing O-rings (3) and (4) of the same part numbers.)
Reference Figure 7-1 for complete valve part numbers.
5.4.3To upgrade existing “AP” units supplied prior to September, 1992:
a.Follow procedures described in Section 5-1 for general disassembly and Section 5-2
for Aggressive Products Cylinder disassembly.
b.Replace O-rings and install gasket, Stat-O-Seal and washers as required (reference
Figure 7-1).
c.Complete cylinder assembly by installing piston and all component parts through the
top of the cylinder housing.
Do not attempt to install the piston through the seat area. Attempts to assemble through the
seat area will destroy the spring-loaded Teflon cup-seals.
®
d.Secure cylinder assembly to cylinder heads using hand pressure or arbor press for
ease of installation.

equipment.
e.Lower the “new” cylinder assembly and cylinder head into the valve body. Align the
bolt holes in the cylinder head with the studs in the main valve body.
f.Fasten the cylinder head into position using retaining nuts. Tighten nuts, alternating
to opposite sides, to assure a uniform seat.

6.0TROUBLESHOOTING
The most frequent problem encountered with any control valve is the accumulation of sediment,
rouge, scale and other foreign material in the pilot or its supply system. It is, therefore, good practice
to periodically remove the pilot from the valve and inspect it for accumulation of these materials.
The strainer and needle valve in the pilot supply line should also be flushed periodically to avoid
erratic control and slow response typical to obstructed flow. If sub-standard conditions persist after
thoroughly cleaning the system, examine the pilot for swollen o-rings.
Periodic examination of all seal and o-rings for nicks, cuts and wear is recommended. Reference
Section 5, Cylinder Disassembly/Reassembly.
