Important Notes
Usage for the intended purpose
The hydraulically operated loading and unloading system HV 215 is intended solely for filling and draining stationary
and mobile tanks containing pressure liquefied gases.
Its use is permissible only within the allowable pressure and temperature ratings and only if the chemical and
corrosive influences on the equipment are taken into account. Before installing the equipment make sure that the
loading & unloading system is suitable for the intended application and the fluid to be used (corrosion resistance
and chemical suitability).
Modifications to the design may only be made if the manufacturer‘s written permission is obtained.
Any type of use differing from the usage described above must be considered as improper. The resulting risk will
have to be borne by the user alone. The manufacturer hereby expressly rejects any claims for any resulting damage.
The use of external pumps for opening or closing the bottom valves is not permitted.
Safety notes
The loading and unloading system must not be installed or commissioned by anyone other than qualified staff.
Maintenance and service work must only be performed by adequately trained persons who have a recognised
level of competence.
For installation, removal, commissioning, operation and maintenance, every person who works with the loading and
unloading system must have read and understood the complete installation manual. Furthermore, responsibilities
must have been defined clearly and unambiguously and must be adhered to.
The operating company must ensure that, whenever the loading and unloading system is being operated, it is in
perfect condition.
Attention
Working methods that jeopardise safety must not be used!
Danger
If the loading and unloading system is used in an inexpert or improper manner by unqualified staff, it can cause
danger to life and limb for the user or for third parties, possibly resulting in death.
During operation, the bottom valves of the loaded and unloaded tanks are under pressure. During the loading and
unloading procedure all other components are also under pressure. In this condition, screws as well as nuts and
bolts of the loading and unloading system must not be slackened. Liquid or vaporizing fluids might escape and
could cause severe cases of poisoning and environmental pollution.
During the loading and unloading procedure do not leave the installation unattended.
The shut-off valves might be cold during the loading and unloading procedure. Make sure that the operator wears
protective gloves when operating the handwheels.
Any installation or removal work may only be performed when the tank is at zero pressure and completely free of gas.
When carrying out installation and maintenance work, make sure that the tank cannot be operated accidentally.

Important Notes – continued –
Warning
Any use of naked flames is expressly forbidden!
Before perfomring any service work inside the tank make sure that the tank is sufficiently ventilated
and all gases have been completely vented. The rules concerning MAC (= maximum allowable
concentration) values at place of work must be strictly applied!
Legal regulations
The configuration of the loading and unloading system HV 215 mounted to the tank car carrying pressurized
gas meets the requirements of DIN 26026 or of EN 12561-3.
The bottom valves HWV 205/1- DN 80 and HWV 215/1- DN 80 fulfill the legal requirements of the RID / GGVSE section 6, constituting the first inner shut-off as defined in these regulations.

Description
The hydraulically operated loading and unloading system HV 215 is designed for filling and draining stationary
and mobile tanks containing pressure liquefied gases.
It is mainly used in tank cars carrying pressurized gases. These tank cars (TC) require a high degree of reliability,
ease of operation and maintenance and a long service life of the associated valves.
The loading and unloading system consists of the two rapid-action bottom valves, the two operating devices, the
shut-off valves, the rail hook and the tension rope. The connecting lines required for operating the loading and
unloading system are either made of hydraulic tubes and hydraulic hoses or entirely of hydraulic hoses.
The bottom valves type HWV 205/1 - DN 80 and type HWV 215/1 - DN 80 (with control unit) are designed for
installation in the valve-mounting flanges located at the bottom of the vessel. Both bottom valves are always
opened or closed together. A manifold connects the bottom valves directly with the shut-off valves. Both valves
can either be used for the liquid phase or the gas phase.
The operating devices consist of a hydraulic hand pump and one indicating piston for the liquid phase and one
for the gas phase. They are attached to the left and right hand side of the tank car, which means that the bottom
valves can be opened from either side of the tank car by actuating the respective operating device.
During the loading/unloading process the rail hook connected to the tension rope keeps the bottom valves in the
open position. In the event of an emergency, e. g. emergency shut-off or inadvertent moving of the tank car, the
rail hook is disengaged from the rail and the bottom valves close instantaneously (rapid-action closing).

Function
The loading and unloading system HV 215 is designed for filling and draining tanks that contain pressureliquefied gases.
One bottom valve opens for the liquid phase and the other opens for the gas phase. Both opening processes
always take place simultaneously.
The operating device of the tension rope (e. g. rail hook VZ 10) engaged to one of the rails provides the required
tension of the rope. This tension keeps the ball valve of the control unit of the hydraulic system closed.
The hydraulic hand pump of the operating device BV 110 can then be used to apply pressure to the hydraulic
system. The pressure acts on the actuating cylinders of the bottom valves, forcing the piston to go up and thereby
causing the bottom valves to open.
The current lift position of both bottom valves is indicated separately by the indicating cylinders of the operating
device BV 110.
When the rail hook is disengaged, i. e. when the load on the tension rope is reduced, the hydraulic system opens,
leading to the rapid-action closing of the bottom valves within less than 1 second.
The non-return valve integrated in the operating device BV 110 prevents the premature closing of the bottom
valves caused by leaking fluids in the hydraulic hand pump and the pressure-reducing valve.
