Important Notes
Usage for the Intended Purpose
The control valve, series ZK 313, is intended solely for cutting off and/or regulating the flow of
fluids consisting of water, steam, or steam condensate.
Its use is permissible only within the allowable limits of pressure and temperature and only if
the chemical and corrosive influences on the pressure equipment are taken into account.
Before installation and operation, a check must be performed to ascertain that the valve is
resistant to the medium in the operational conditions that will exist.
Opening of the valve body and/or structural changes may be performed only 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.
Safety Note
The control valve ZK 313 must not be installed, removed, commissioned, operated or
maintained by anyone other than qualified staff.
"Qualified staff" are persons who are familiar with the procedures for installation, removal,
commissioning, operation and maintenance of the product, and who have qualifications
appropriate for their work, for example staff who have received the following:
Training as specialists.
Training or instruction in the use of appropriate safety procedures in accordance with the
standards of safety engineering.
Training or instruction in first aid and in accident prevention regulations.
For installation, removal, commissioning, operation and maintenance, every person who
works with the control valve must have read and understood the complete installation
instructions. Furthermore, responsibilities must have been defined clearly and unambiguously
and must be adhered to.
In addition to these installation instructions, the documents issued by the manufacturers of
the actuators, and in particular the safety information contained in these documents, must be
observed.

Important Notes
Warning
Danger
If the control valve 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 control valve ZK 313 is under pressure. In this condition,
screws, nuts or bolts must not be slackened. Hot water or steam could flow out
and could cause severe scalding over the entire body.
During operation, the valve might be hot. If the valve is touched when in the
operational condition, severe burns are possible. It must be ensured that,
when handwheels are being operated, the operator wears gloves.
Any installation or removal work may only be performed when the equipment
is at zero pressure and has cooled down. When such work is to be done, the
pressure in the pipes upstream and downstream of the valve must have been
reduced to zero and the valve must have cooled down sufficiently. It must be
ensured that, during the work, the system section in which pressure has been
reduced to zero cannot be accidentally put back into operation. The shut-off
valves needed for this purpose must be separately secured and marked.
In addition, it must be ensured that the actuators of the valve are not in the
connected state. The connection to the energy supply (electric, pneumatic,
hydraulic) must be disconnected and must be secured to prevent it from being
operated accidentally. One or more warning notices, for example containing
the text "DO NOT SWITCH ON", must be displayed in a clearly visible manner
at each operating element.

Description
The control valve ZK 313 is used to reduce large differential pressures. It is used mainly in
industrial plants and power stations in which ease of maintenance and high resistance to
wear are required.
The valve consists of the valve body, a yoke suitable for the various actuators, and a ZK
radial stage nozzle with valve plug integrated in the valve body to act at the control element.
The valve body comes in two different sizes: The small size DN 25 - DN 80 is available as
straight-through (ZK 313-D/...) or angle (ZK 313-E/...) version. For larger flowrates open-die
forged bodies DN 80 - DN 150 in Z shape (ZK 313-Z0/...) or as angle versions (ZK 313-E0/...)
are also available.
The control valve can be operated by means of various actuators, e.g. electric rotary
actuators, pneumatic actuators and lever actuators, or by means of a handwheel.

Explanatory Notes
Function
Every control valve is equipped with a ZK radial stage nozzle.
This is a system comprising several sleeves nesting within one another and containing radial
orifices drilled in them. By rotation of the sleeves, the orifices are shifted relative to one
another, thus forming a large number of throttling points in parallel, with turbulence chambers
(expansion chambers) in between.
The throughput through the ZK radial stage nozzle is set by means of the valve plug.
Depending on its position, this valve plug opens up the individual orifices partially or
completely, thus producing different flow rates.
As a result of this design, the pressure drop is reduced in steps and the medium flowing
through is split up into many partial flows. This ensures high resistance to wear and reduces
the noise level.
The control valve ZK 313 is also equipped with a dual (tandem) shut-off. At the moment of
closing and at the beginning of opening the flow velocity at the valve seat is zero, which
means that wire drawing and wear on the seating surfaces is prevented. The lift difference
between the control piston and the leading valve plug is balanced out by disc springs.

Operating Procedure
Installation
It is highly advisable to have the installation work done by qualified staff in the manner
described by these installation instructions. The manufacturer will not accept liability for
damage resulting from improper installation.
In addition, the installation instructions issued by the actuator manufacturers must be
observed.
During installation, it must be ensured that the installation space surrounding the valve is
large enough for the purposes of installation, removal, operation and maintenance.
Please check whether the weight of the valve makes an additional support necessary.
In the case of installation with a horizontal valve-spindle and a pneumatic actuator, the weight
of the actuator must be supported separately.
For the installation work, hoisting gear must be chosen which is designed for the weights
concerned.
The control valves may only be hoisted by the body and/or by the yoke of the valve.
During hoisting, damage to the actuator, the stuffing box and the lubricating device must be
avoided.
The control valve ZK 313 is welded into place directly into the pipe or is mounted between
flanges, depending on the connection facilities that are present.
In the case of welding-connections, the statutory and industrial rules for welding-connections
must be observed. Before welding, the welding locations must be cleaned.
Important
The valve is welded into place in the assembled state; any heat treatment that
is necessary for the welded joints can likewise be performed in the assembled
state. It must be ensured here that the region affected by the heat is limited to
the welded joints.
After the valve has been welded into place, it is recommended that it should
then be opened fully and flushed with water.
Flushing with caustic agents may only be performed if approved by the
manufacturer.
In the case of flange connections, precise positioning of the seals between the flanges must
be ensured. Before installation, the sealing surfaces must be cleaned.
Before the control valve is installed, all transportation packaging and all coverings of
connections must be removed.

Operating Procedure
(continued)
Installation
(continued)
Important
Attention must be paid to the direction of flow. It is indicated by an arrow on the
body.
Basically, the valve can be installed with any orientation. As viewed in the direction of flow,
the normal installation orientation of the control valve is horizontal with the spindle vertical
and the stuffing box pointing upwards.
In the case of angle valves, flow takes place over the valve plug.
In the case of units with actuators, the installation rules issued by the actuator manufacturers
must be observed.
Commissioning
The task of commissioning the control valve is performed when the valve is put into operation
for the first time, and also after repairs.
Commissioning may only be carried out by qualified staff who have read and understood the
installation instructions.
For the actuators, the additional documents issued by the manufacturers must be observed.
Before commissioning, a check must be performed to ensure that all fastenings have been
securely tightened.
Commissioning does not require any additional work on the valve.
Unless agreed otherwise, the control valve is delivered in the closed state. The travel
distance of the valve plug is stated on the name plate.
During the task of commissioning, all connections and seals on the valve must be checked for
leaks. Any leaks must be corrected immediately. In the case of flanged connections, this is
done by tightening the nuts; it can also be done on the valve by tightening the stuffing box if
necessary.
In the case of pipes at high temperatures, the valves should not be suddenly exposed to the
high temperatures. Here, slow warming-up should be performed.

Operating Procedure
Operation
The control valve ZK 313 may only be operated by qualified staff who have read and
understood the installation instructions. Additional installation instructions issued by the
manufacturers of the actuators must be observed.
Danger
During operation, the control valve ZK 313 is under pressure. In this condition, if
flanged connections, sealing plugs or the stuffing box is slackened, hot water or
steam will flow out and could cause severe scalding over the entire body. There
is danger to life and limb for the user or for third parties, possibly resulting in
death.
During operation, the valve is hot. If the valve is touched when in the
operational condition, severe burns are possible. It must be ensured that, when
handwheels are being operated, the operator wears gloves.
During operation, the spindle is moved. The moving parts of the control valve
and of the actuator must definitely not be touched; otherwise, your hands might
be crushed.
