Description

Scope of Manual

This instruction manual includes installation, maintenance, and parts information for the Fisher GX control valve and actuator system.

Do not install, operate or maintain a GX valve and actuator system without first D being fully trained and qualified in valve, actuator and accessory installation, operation and maintenance, and D carefully reading and understanding the contents of this manual. If you have any questions about these instructions contact your Emerson Process Management sales office before proceeding.

The GX is a compact, state-of-the-art control valve and actuator system, designed to control a wide range of process gases, vapors, and fluids.

The GX is rugged, reliable, and easy to select. It requires no actuator sizing -- the actuator selection is automatic once the valve body construction is selected.

The GX meets the requirements of both EN and ASME standards. It is available with a complete accessory package, including the FIELDVUE DVC2000 Series integrated digital valve controller.

Valve Installation

WARNING

Always wear protective gloves, clothing, and eyewear when performing any installation operations to avoid personal injury.

Personal injury or equipment damage caused by sudden release of pressure or bursting of pressure retaining parts might result if service conditions exceed those for which the product was intended. To avoid injury or damage, provide a relief valve for over pressure protection as required by government or accepted industry codes and good engineering practices.

Check with your process or safety engineer for any additional measures that must be taken to protect against process media.

If installing into an existing application, also refer to the WARNING at the beginning of the Maintenance section in this instruction manual.

CAUTION

This valve is intended for a specific range of pressures, temperatures and other application specifications. Applying different pressure and temperatures to the valve could result in parts damage, malfunction of the control valve or loss of control of the process. Do not expose this product to

service conditions or variables other than those for which the product was intended. If you are not sure what

these conditions are you should contact your Emerson Process Management sales office for more complete specifications. Provide the product serial number (shown on the nameplate, figure 2) and all other pertinent information.

WARNING

If you move or work on an actuator installed on a valve with loading pressure applied, keep your hands and tools away from the stem travel path to

3. Use accepted piping practices when installing the valve in the pipeline. Use a suitable gasket between the valve and the pipeline flanges.

4. If continuous operation is required during inspection or maintenance, install isolating valves on either side of the control valve with a bypass valve to control the flow while the control valve is receiving maintenance.

WARNING

Personal injury could result from packing leakage. Valve packing is tightened before shipment; however the packing might require some readjustment to meet specific service conditions.

Maintenance

GE01296-99

WITH SPRING INFORMATION

Figure 2. Fisher GX Nameplate Examples

avoid personal injury. Be especially careful when removing the stem connector to release all loading on the actuator stem whether it be from air pressure on the diaphragm or compression in the actuator springs. Likewise take similar care when adjusting or removing any optional travel stop. Refer to the relevant actuator Maintenance Instructions.

If hoisting the valve take care to prevent people from being injured in case the hoist or rigging slips. Be sure to use adequately sized hoists and chains or slings to handle the valve.

1. Before installing the valve, inspect it to be certain that the valve body cavity is free of all foreign material. Clean out all pipelines to remove scale, welding slag and other foreign material.

2. The control valve assembly may be installed in any orientation unless limited by seismic criteria. However, the normal method is with the actuator vertical above the valve. Flow through the valve must be in the direction indicated by the arrow cast on the valve.

WARNING

Avoid personal injury or property damage from sudden release of process pressure or bursting of parts. Before performing any maintenance operations:

D Do not remove the actuator from the valve while the valve is still pressurized.

D Always wear protective gloves, clothing, and eyewear when performing any maintenance operations to avoid personal injury.

D Disconnect any operating lines providing air pressure, electric power or a control signal to the actuator. Be sure the actuator cannot suddenly open or close the valve.

D Use bypass valves or completely shut off the process to isolate the valve from the process pressure. Relieve the process pressure from both sides of the valve.

D Depending on the actuator construction, it will be necessary to manage the pneumatic actuator loading pressure and any actuator spring pre-compression. It is essential to refer to the relevant actuator

Instruction Manual

GX Valve and Actuator

instructions in this manual to ensure safe removal of the actuator from the valve.

D Use lock-out procedures to be sure that the above measures stay in effect while you work on the equipment.

D The valve packing box may contain process fluids that are pressurized, even when the valve has been removed from the pipeline. Process fluids may spray out under pressure when removing the packing hardware or packing rings, or when loosening the packing box pipe plug.

D Check with your process or safety engineer for any additional measures that must be taken to protect against process media.

Note

Whenever a gasket seal is disturbed by removing or shifting gasketed parts, install a new gasket during reassembly. This ensures a good gasket seal because the used gasket may not seal properly.

Actuator Maintenance

The following sections provide procedures for actuator maintenance. Refer to figures 18, 19, 20, and 21.

The actuator soft parts may require periodic replacement. This includes the diaphragm (key 10), actuator rod bushing (key 19), and the actuator rod seal (key 20).

February 2009

Note

Older GX actuator nameplates do not contain spring configuration information. If you require replacement springs or wish to switch to an optional actuator construction, consult your Emerson Process Management sales office.

Note

When the GX actuator is equipped with the integrated FIELDVUE DVC2000 Series digital valve controller (figure

1), additional considerations may be required. Refer to the FIELDVUE DVC2000 Digital Valve Controller Mounting section of this manual for additional instruction.

Actuator Disassembly (For Air-to-Open Constructions - see figures 18 or 19)

1. Connect a separate air supply to the lower diaphragm casing via the air supply connection on the yoke (as shown in figure 18 or 19) and apply sufficient air pressure to raise the valve plug/stem off the seat to mid-travel.

2. Remove the stem connector nut half (key 23), stem connector bolt half (key 24), and travel indicator (key 26).

3. Push the valve plug/stem (key 3) down until it contacts the seat.

4. Loosen the locknut (key 28) and thread the stem adjustor nut (key 27) down until it clears the top of the valve plug/stem (key 3).

5. Shut off the air pressure and disconnect the separate air supply to the lower diaphragm casing (as shown in figure 18 or 19).

WARNING

If the actuator stroking direction (air-to-open or air-to-close) is unknown, refer to the nameplate on top of the actuator casing and figure 2.

There are several optional actuator constructions, depending on supply pressure. Refer to the nameplate on the top of the actuator to determine the construction installed. Refer to figure 3 and table 2 for proper spring configuration.

To avoid personal injury or property damage due to actuator springs (keys 12 and 82) being under compression, remove the long cap screws (key 16) last.

The upper actuator casing may remain fixed to the diaphragm and lower casing during disassembly, even if the casing cap screws have been loosened. If this happens, the actuator

springs are still under compression. The upper casing could suddenly come loose and jump, due to the compressed energy of the springs. If the upper casing is stuck to the diaphragm and lower casing when you begin loosening the casing cap screws, pry the casings apart with a prying tool. Always ensure that the springs are dispersing energy and the upper casing is moving against the long bolts during disassembly.

6. Remove the short actuator casing cap screws and hex nuts (keys 17 and 18) first. Once these have been removed from the actuator assembly, carefully remove the long actuator cap screws and hex nuts (keys 16 and 18), alternating between them to gradually release the spring energy (compression).

7. Remove the upper diaphragm casing (key 9) and the actuator springs (key 12 and/or 82).

8. Lift off the actuator stem/diaphragm assembly (includes keys 22, 11, 10, 14, 13, and 15) and remove the cap screw (key 14), actuator spacer (key 13), actuator rod (key 22), and washer (key 15).

9. Replace the diaphragm (key 10), actuator rod bushing (key 19), and actuator rod seal (key 20), as needed.

Actuator Disassembly (For Air-to-Close Constructions - see figure 20 or 21)

1. Remove the stem connector nut half (key 23), stem connector bolt half (key 24), and travel indicator (key 26).

FIELDVUE DVC2000 Digital Valve Controller Mounting

This section provides instruction on mounting the FIELDVUE DVC2000 Series digital valve controller to the GX control valve. For further detail on the operation and maintenance of the DVC2000, refer to the DVC2000 instruction manual.

The FIELDVUE DVC2000 Series digital valve controller mounts directly to an interface pad on the GX actuator yoke leg, eliminating the need for mounting brackets (see figure 1). Internal passageways in the actuator route the pneumatic output to the actuator casing, which eliminates the need for external air supply tubing in the air-to-open (spring-to-close) constructions. (The GX will also accommodate other valve positioners, using the NAMUR mounting pads on the side of the yoke legs.)

POLE PIECES

M8 MOUNTING BOLTS

The DVC2000 features linkage-less position feedback when mounted to the GX control valve. There are no touching parts between the controller and the valve stem, which simplifies controller installation. If maintenance is required, the DVC2000 can be easily removed from the valve.

In the air-to-open (spring-to-close) configuration, the air signal to the actuator casing is supplied through the air supply connection on the GX actuator yoke leg (see figure 18 or 19). In the air-to-close (spring-to-open) configuration, the air signal is supplied to the actuator through the air supply connection on the top of the actuator casing (see figure 20 or 21).

For an air-to-open construction, a DVC2000 will mount to the actuator (figure 18 or 19). The air signal is transmitted to the lower casing through the pneumatic passageway marked “air supply connection” in figure 18 or 19.

For an air-to-close construction, DN 15 through DN 100 (NPS 1/2 through 4) only: in the actuator

design (figure 20 or 21), the pneumatic signal is connected directly to the air supply connection in the upper actuator casing. The yoke is symmetrical and the air passageways serve as a vent, whereby the DVC2000 can be easily moved from one side of the valve to the other without rotating the actuator.

DVC2000 Mounting Procedures

Steps A and B of the following instructions apply to the actuator construction shown in figures 18, 19, 20, and 21.

A. Mounting the DVC2000 to an air-to-open GX actuator (spring-to-close) (see figure 4 and figure 18 or 19):

1. Attach the magnetic feedback array (supplied with the DVC2000) to the valve stem connector using the alignment template (supplied with the mounting kit) for accurate alignment.

2. Remove the plug (R1/8) from the back of the DVC2000 housing (Port B in figure 4). This pneumatic output port on the DVC2000 lines up with the integral GX actuator air supply connection (see figure 18 or 19).

1. Attach the magnetic feedback array (supplied with the DVC2000) to the valve stem connector using the alignment template (supplied with the mounting kit) for accurate alignment.

2. In the air-to-close configuration it is required that an R1/8 plug be installed into the integral mount pneumatic port on the back of the DVC2000 housing (Port B of figure 4).

3. Remove the digital valve controller’s cover.

4. Using a 6mm hex wrench, attach the digital valve controller to the GX actuator mounting pad.

Note

The O-ring seal and G1/4 or 1/4 NPT plugs (supplied in the mounting kit) are not used with this actuator construction.

5. Check for clearance between the magnet assembly and the DVC2000 feedback slot. The magnet assembly should be positioned such that the index mark on the pole pieces (back of the controller housing) is between the marks on the magnet assembly throughout the range of travel. (See figure 4.)

6. Install tubing between the external pneumatic output connection of the DVC2000 (Port A of figure 4) to the air supply connection (see figure 20 or 21) on top of the actuator casing.

When changing actuator action:

When field converting a GX actuator from air-to-open to air-to-close closed (or vice-versa), you will need to change the plugs for the pneumatic passages in the DVC2000 housing.

D To convert from air-to-close to air-to-open (spring-to-close), remove the R1/8 pneumatic plug on the back of the DVC2000 housing and install an O-ring (Port B of figure 4). Plug the external pneumatic output with a 1/4 NPT or G1/4 plug (depending on the housing version). (Port A of figure 4.)

D To convert from air-to-open to air-to-close (spring-to-open), remove the external pneumatic plug (1/4 NPT or G1/4 plug, depending on the housing version from Port A of figure 4). Install an R1/8 plug on the back of the DVC2000 housing (Port B of figure 4). Install tubing between the pneumatic output connection of the DVC2000 (Port A) to the air supply connection on top of the actuator casing (see figure 20 or 21).

Packing Maintenance

Key numbers refer to figures 15, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, and 23.

Packing Adjustment

For spring-loaded single PTFE V-ring packing (figure 15) or for Graphite ULF packing (figure 16), the Belleville spring pack (key 34) maintains a sealing force on the packing. If leakage is detected around the packing follower (key 29) check to be sure that the packing follower (key 29) is tight. Using a wrench, tighten the packing follower (key 29) in 1/4 turn intervals until the leakage is stopped. If leakage cannot be stopped in this manner, proceed to the Replacing Packing section in this manual.

Replacing Packing

This section provides instruction on replacing packing in standard bonnets, extension bonnets, and bellows extension bonnets.

Isolate the control valve from the line pressure, release pressure from both sides of the valve body and drain the process media from both sides of the valve. Shut off all pressure lines to the actuator and release all pressure from the actuator. Use lock-out procedures to ensure that the above measures stay in effect while you work on the equipment.

1. For air-to-open constructions:

a. Connect a separate air supply to the lower diaphragm casing via the air supply connection on the yoke (as shown in figure 18 or 19) and apply sufficient air pressure to raise the valve plug/stem off the seat to mid travel.

Instruction Manual

GX Valve and Actuator

b. Remove the stem connector nut half (key 23), stem connector bolt half (key 24), and travel indicator (key 26).

c. Push the valve plug stem (key 3) down until it contacts the seat.

d. Loosen the locknut (key 28) and thread the stem adjustor nut (key 27) down until it clears the top of the valve plug stem (key 3).

e. Shut off the air pressure and disconnect the separate air supply to the lower diaphragm casing (as shown in figure 18 or 19).

2. For air-to-close constructions, as shown in figure 20 or 21, remove the stem connector nut half (key 23), stem connector bolt half (key 24), and travel indicator (key 26).

WARNING

February 2009

to the extension bonnet (key 39). Loosen these nuts approximately 3mm (1/8 inch).

4. Then loosen the valve-to-yoke gasketed joint by either rocking the actuator yoke or prying between the valve and actuator yoke. Work the prying tool around the actuator yoke until it loosens.

WARNING

If there is evidence of process fluid under pressure leaking from the joint, retighten the valve body/joint nuts and return to the Warning at the beginning of the Maintenance section to ensure proper steps have been taken to isolate the valve and relieve process pressure.

5. If no fluid leaks from the joint, loosen the packing follower (key 29) two turns to relieve the packing compression load.

To avoid personal injury or property damage by uncontrolled movement of the actuator yoke (key 8), loosen the body/yoke nuts (figures 18, 19, 20, and 21, key 7) or bonnet/yoke nuts (figures 22 and 23, key 46) by following the instructions in the next step. Do not remove a stuck actuator yoke by pulling on it with equipment that can stretch or store energy in any other manner. The sudden release of stored energy can cause uncontrolled movement of the actuator yoke.

Note

The following step also provides additional assurance that the valve body fluid pressure has been relieved.

3. For standard bonnet constructions (figures 18, 19, 20, and 21), body nuts (key 7) attach the

actuator yoke (key 8) to the valve body (key 1). Loosen these nuts approximately 3mm (1/8 inch).

For extension and bellows bonnet constructions, bonnet nuts (key 46) attach the actuator yoke (key 8)

6. For standard bonnet constructions (figures 18, 19, 20, and 21), remove the body nuts (key 7) completely.

For extension and bellows bonnet constructions (figures 22 and 23), remove the bonnet nuts

(key 46) completely.

CAUTION

To avoid property damage, place the actuator yoke on a protective surface, as described in the following procedure.

7. Carefully lift off the actuator yoke and set it on a protective surface to prevent damage. For standard bonnet constructions, if the bonnet (key 4) together with the valve stem plug assembly has a tendency to lift with the actuator yoke, ensure it does not drop from the actuator. For extension and bellows constructions, ensure the bonnet (key 4) does not lift with the actuator yoke. For DN150 balanced constructions, if the bonnet, guide sleeve, or valve stem assembly have a tendency to lift with the actuator yoke, ensure they do not drop from the actuator.

Instruction Manual

GX Valve and Actuator

Refer to figure 10.

CAUTION

To protect the valve plug seal ring (key

37) and to ensure it seals properly, be careful not to scratch the surfaces of the ring groove in the valve plug or any of the surfaces of the replacement ring.

1. With the valve plug (key 3) removed according to the Disassembly portion of the Valve Trim Maintenance procedure, proceed as appropriate:

The seal ring (key 37) cannot be reused because it is a closed ring which must be pried and/or cut from the groove. Once the seal ring is removed, the elastomeric backup ring (key 38), which is also a closed ring, can be pried from the groove.

To install a new backup ring and seal ring onto the valve plug, apply a general purpose silicone-base lubricant to both rings (keys 38 and 37). Place the backup ring over the valve plug (key 3) and into the groove. Place the seal ring over the top edge of the valve plug (key 3) so that it enters the groove on one side of the valve plug. Slowly and gently stretch the seal ring and work it over the top edge of the valve plug. The PTFE material in the seal ring must be permitted time to cold-flow during the stretching procedure, so avoid jerking sharply on this ring. Stretching the seal ring over the valve plug may make it seem unduly loose when in the groove, but it will contract to its original size after insertion into the bonnet.

2. Install the seat ring, valve plug/stem, bonnet and actuator yoke into the valve body by completing the assembly according to steps 1 to 3 of the section Assembly of Unbalanced Trim.
