YARWAY A.T.-TEMP CRYOGENIC DESUPERHEATER

InstallatIon and MaIntenance InstructIons

Before installation these instructions must be fully read and understood

Particular care should be taken when removing
the A.T.-Temp Cryogenic desuperheater
from its packing and your special attention is
required to check carefully that no damage has
occurred to flange faces, threading, actuators,
connecting pipes, etc. (see figure 1).
Hoist the unit with straps around the body as
depicted, do not lift the unit by the hoisting lug
on the actuator.

INSTALLATION OF THE A.T.-TEMP
CRYOGENIC DESUPERHEATER

Before installation, check the A.T.-Temp
Cryogenic desuperheater, actuator and
accessories for any visible damage.
Check that the information on the
documentation, identification plate and
tag number complies with the order
specification. Remove the A.T.-Temp Cryogenic
desuperheater carefully from its packaging,
lifting by means of straps around the body, or
use the hoisting lug if provided. Do not use the
water inlet connection, yoke, actuator or any
of its accessories for lifting. Leave the flange
covers in place during transportation, until
ready to install in the pipework.
When installing the A.T.-Temp Cryogenic
desuperheater use gaskets and bolting

UNPACKING

The A.T.-Temp Cryogenic desuperheater is
packed with the greatest of care in wooden
boxes or cartons for protection during handling
and transit to site. After hydrostatic testing,
the unit is flushed through with a high grade of
preservative to protect machined and internal
surfaces from corrosion. If it is found, however,
that damage has occurred during shipment,
then this should be reported immediately to
your forwarder or Yarway representative.

material in accordance with the relevant piping
code, for example ASME/ANSI B31.3 or EN.
Place the gasket onto the mounting flange and
carefully insert the nozzle into the branch pipe.
Ensure that the spray cylinder is pointed in the
direction of the gas flow before tightening the
mounting bolts (seefigure2).

Note: the A.T.-Temp Cryogenic desuperheaters
should be installed free of ‘forces, moments
and torques’.

YARWAY A.T.-TEMP CRYOGENIC DESUPERHEATER

InstallatIon and MaIntenance InstructIons

The A.T.-Temp Cryogenic desuperheater is
provided with a lower body length, as specified
in the contract drawing and the mounting
branch for the process pipework must be
manufactured to suit.
The length of this branch should be such, that
the centerline of the spray cylinder is located
onthe centerline of the process line (± 5 mm).
The mounting branch nominal bore and pipe
schedule (check the applicable process piping
code), should be verified and in line with the
dimensions mentioned on the certified drawing.

FIGURE 1

Check for damages

FIGURE 2

LIQUID FLANGE POSITIONS

The minimum pipe run, required downstream
of the A.T.-Temp Cryogenic desuperheater,
varies with each individual application and
would be specified by Yarway at the enquiry
stage. This straight run is needed to prevent
erosion due to impingement of droplets against
pipewalls, valves and fittings and is normally
in the order of 2 to 3 meters for hydrocarbons,
as a minimum (no upstream straight length is
normally required).

Check for damages

The distance from the A.T.-Temp Cryogenic
desuperheater to the temperature sensor is
nominally 6 to 7 meters, although the distance
specific to the application would be advised by
Yarway at the enquiry stage. Longer distances
will ensure that full evaporation will take place
at lower velocities.
The temperature sensor should be located in
the upper half of the pipe, avoid branching of
the process pipework between the A.T.-Temp
Cryogenic desuperheater and the sensor
(seefigure 4).

Pipe bends should always be of the long radius
type to assist in keeping the liquid droplets in
suspension, until complete evaporation has
taken place. Installation may be in vertical or
horizontal piping, but the direction of liquid
injection should always be with the process
gasflow.
The A.T.-Temp Cryogenic Desuperheater may
be mounted at 90° to the process pipe, for
all flow orientations, but avoid installation in
the vertically downwards position, wherever
possible (seefigure 5).

FIGURE 5

Yarway supplies the A.T.-Temp Cryogenic
desuperheater as follows:
Identification number:
xx. 37. xxxxx - Fabricated type with

non-balanced stem.

xx. 47. xxxxx - Fabricated type with

semi-balanced stem and
oversized trim all with the spray
cylinder tack welded tothe body
extension pipe.

Note: horizontal orientated A.T.-Temp
Cryogenic desuperheater has to be installed
with a support for weight compensation.

The liquid supply should be of a good quality;
clean and filtered, and should have a constant
pressure as specified in the order documents.
Each liquid supply line should be protected with
its own individual strainer with a maximum
element perforation size of 0.1 mm (0.4 mm
acceptable for nozzles ‘E’ size and up).
Where there are positive shut-off components
in the liquid supply (including electric actuators)
then a safety relief valve of an approved type
should be fitted. As in the case of the process
pipework, use gasketing and bolting in
accordance with the relevant piping code. Flush
out the liquid line before connecting to the
A.T.-Temp Cryogenic desuperheater mounting
flange (see figure 6).

START-UP

Ensure that all components are installed
correctly. Connection of electrical supplies and
instrument air piping should be in accordance
with the manufacturer’s instruction manual.
Verify and adjust, if necessary, set points for
filter regulators and valve positioners, following
the manufacturer’s recommendations.
Similarly, calibrate the temperature
transmitter/controller, verifying automatic
response to temperature changes.
Check the liquid pressure at the A.T.-Temp
Cryogenic desuperheater. Verify the operation
of the temperature transmitter and controller
by manually increasing and decreasing the
output signal and observing indicated and
recorded temperatures.
When satisfactory coordination between
instrument signals and temperature are
attained, adjustment of the set point can be
made and the system transferred to automatic
operation.
It is recommended to record the various
process coordinates, over a sustained period, to
verify operation, adjusting where necessary.

MAINTENANCE

Note: maintenance of the A.T.-Temp

Cryogenic desuperheater is straight forward
and does not require any special tools or
training. Care should be taken during any
maintenance operation, particularly when
working with grinders, compressed air and
rotating machinery. It is imperative that safety
glasses and protective workwear are used in
accordance with Standard Safety Procedures.
In case of doubt, consult your Supervisor or
Safety Officer before commencing any work
onthe equipment.

Removal

Before removing the A.T.-Temp Cryogenic
desuperheater from the system, ensure that
both the process -and injection liquid pipework
are pressureless and vented.
Isolate any electrical supplies to the actuator
and/or ancillaries, prior to disconnection.
Vent and remove instrument air supply piping.
Loosen process flange and liquid flange bolting,
but vent connections before complete removal.

The A.T.-Temp Cryogenic desuperheater
may now be removed from the system. It is
recommended that the A.T.-Temp Cryogenic
desuperheater is transported to a convenient
workshop which has a workbench and vice. Lift
the unit by means of straps around the body.
Do not attempt to lift the A.T.-Temp Cryogenic
desuperheater by the yoke, actuator or any of
its accessories.
Depending upon the type of actuator fitted,
various stem couplings are used. Measure
accurately, and record the dimensions
A and B (see figure 7) for reassembly
purposes. Also record positions of any levers
or specials fixings, sketching if necessary,
prior to removal. If any work is required on
the actuator, then please refer to the actuator
manufacturer’smanual.

Disassembly (see figure 8)

The A.T.-Temp Cryogenic desuperheater can
be disassembled, most easily when in the
horizontal position with the body extension
section clamped firmly in the vice. Grind off
the nozzle tack welds, using any standard type
of angle grinder. Make sure that the weld is
removed sufficiently to allow rotation of the
fastener ring, without fouling.
Unscrew the fastener ring by rotating
anticlockwise. Note that the threading on the
body extension is right handed. Tapping the
fastener ring with a hammer may facilitate
removal. Note that the threading on the
spray cylinder is left handed. If difficulties are
encountered with the removal of the fastener
ring, then this item may be removed by grinding
through at two diametrically opposite points.
Please be careful not to damage the body
andspray cylinder threading.

Spray cylinder

Once removed, inspect the condition of the
cylinder internally, using a flashlight. Scratches
and blemishes may be removed by either
polishing or honing.
The cylinder bore should not exceed 32 mm
(model 37) with a maximum eccentricity
of 0.25mm. Debris can be removed from
the nozzles by blowing through with
compressedair.
Inspect the nozzle atomizer outlet holes.
These should not show any undue elliptical
wear, roughness or damage or this will have a
detrimental effect on the A.T.-Temp Cryogenic
desuperheater performance. Carefully clean
the cylinder threading, dressing where
necessary, with a small file.

Body extension

Examine the threading on the body extension,
dressing where necessary, with a small
file. Ifcare is exercised, during routine
maintenance, the valve body extension should
never require any repair work. If this threading
does become accidentally damaged, however,
then weld repair may be possible. It should be
noted that this job is for a specialist welder and
filler materials must be compatible with both
the base material and the service conditions.
Inthe event that such work is necessary, please
consult Yarway or Emerson for further advice.

Stem assembly

Withdraw the stem with piston. The piston
and stem are always supplied as a complete
assembly.
In case desuperheater is designed with piston
rings, replace as a matter of course, any time
that the unit is disassembled. Take care not to
overstress the piston rings when fitting. The
rings are marked ‘top’ and should always point
in the direction of the stuffing box, for proper
functioning.
If the piston (PFTE version) shows no signs of
wear and tear, then it may be re-used.
Examine the condition of the stem, where it
runs in the stuffing box, remove any packing
material with a fine grade emery cloth,
polishing in the longitudinal direction.

Stuffing box

Remove all rings, springs and packing material
from the valve body. Clean the stuffing box
carefully, using a rotating wire brush and/or
honing device. Cleanless of the packing area is
vital for proper valve sealing. Do not use grease
or lubricants in combination with PTFE Chevron
type packing! The actual packing design is
mentioned on the project related valve drawing.

Reassembly

Before reassembling the valve, lubricate all
threads with a suitable anti-seize compound
such as Nickel based compounds. Do not use
grease or other oil based lubricants as these
may lead to dismantling problems later.
Reassemble the spray cylinder onto the body
extension. Use a fine grade polishing paste
to lap the seating area of cylinder and body
extension. The seal is metal to metal so a
concentric seat area is vital. Always use a new
fastener ring. Set the spray cylinder into the
correct orientation (the liquid spray should
always be in the same direction as the gas flow)
and tighten the fastener ring.

Tack welding

After reassembly, the spray cylinder should
be tack welded for security. It is essential that
this welding is carried out by a competent
welder. A Welding Procedure Specification
is available from Yarway, upon request. Both
TIG and ARC welding methods are acceptable
and the recommended electrode material
is ER NiCrMo3. A minimum of 4 (Model 37)
or8(Model 47) 8 mm long tacks are required,
diametrically opposite, with one weld securing
the fastener ring to the body extension, the
other securing the spray cylinder to the
fastener ring. After welding, use a suitable
dye penetrant method to check the weld. No
cracks are permitted. If necessary, grind-off,
re-check until a satisfactory weld is obtained
(see figure10).

Before re-installing the A.T.-Temp Cryogenic
desuperheater, make sure that the connecting
flange faces are cleaned thoroughly and any
gasket material removed. Insert the A.T.-Temp
Cryogenic desuperheater into the pipework
and check that the nozzle is orientated
correctly with the spray with the direction
of the gas flow. Apply a suitable lubricating
compound to the bolts and nuts and tighten
evenly, in accordance with the manufacturer’s
recommendations. Before connecting the
liquid line, flush through and check for any
contamination or restriction in the supply.
Follow the procedure for ‘start-up’, as detailed
earlier in the installation instructions. Check
the flange and stuffing box tightness. Do not
overtighten the stuffing box packing gland as
this may prevent proper A.T.-Temp Cryogenic
desuperheater operation. In the event of
persistent leakage through the stem packing,
the unit should be removed to the workshop,
for further examination. Experience shows that
providing the stuffing box, packing and stem
are clean and score, leak-free tightness can be
achieved. Tighten stuffing box by evenly turning
the nuts compressing the springs.

SPARE PARTS

Make sure that the identification number
(indicated on the nameplate) is verified and
specified when ordering spare parts. For
cross-sectional drawings and part lists,
seethenext page.

Re-installation

Refit the actuator onto the A.T.-Temp
Cryogenicdesuperheater, referring to the
notestaken during disassembly, for re-setting
the stem position.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE

Spray nozzle assemblies (1) and (2), fastener
rings (5), piston (4), piston rings (32) shall
be considered wear parts. The materials
selected are such that they do cope with the
conditions as found on applications in liquid/gas
environments of cryogenic conditions. Thermal
cycling does occur and users should realize
that the temperature differentials at Cryogenic
desuperheaters can be significant.
It is recommended to check the spray nozzle
assembly, with the integrally vacuum brazed
injection nozzles, fastener ring and tack-welds
after the first year of service.
At the inspection, by use of dye check or fluor
penetrant investigation, these parts shall be
checked for cracks. Parts with hair crack
indications shall not be re-used. ‘Defect free’
heads in such installations shall be inspected
once per 2 year of operation.
It is advised to replace the above mentioned
components at least once per 5 years
ofservice.
Taking these precautions has historically
proven to give reliable service.
Note: spray nozzle assemblies may have been
made specifically for the specification. Delivery
time of such components will be 8 weeks.

Check the information contained on
the identification plate-tag plate and
documentation and return the unit to its
packing with protective covers in place.

For short term storage, up to 6 months
duration, no additional preservation
measures are necessary. Retain the unit
in its original packing in a clean, dry indoor
location. If outdoor storage is unavoidable,
then the packing case should be enclosed in
awaterproof covering.

For long term storage use only a dry indoor
location. Ensure that the A.T.-Temp Cryogenic
desuperheater is dry and free from moisture.
Retain A.T.-Temp Cryogenic desuperheater in
its original packing and inspect at 3 monthly
intervals to ensure that no deterioration
hasoccurred.

Before placing the A.T.-Temp Cryogenic
desuperheater into service, stroke valve
spindlea few times and inspect other
components, such as actuator, seals, etc.,
toensure correct functioning.
Follow the procedure for installation as
detailed in the operating and maintenance
instructionmanual.

STORAGE PROCEDURE

Upon receipt, check both the A.T.-Temp
Cryogenic desuperheater and the packing case
for any transit damage. Any damage to the
A.T.-Temp Cryogenic desuperheater should be
reported immediately to Yarway or their local
agent. Any damage to the packing container
should be rectified to prevent the ingress of
dust or water, prior to placing the equipment
into storage.

Note: materials and data of units supplied may
deviated from this Instruction Manual. Please
consult order documents in case of doubt.

A.T.-Temp Cryogenic desuperheater is
