Design and principle of operation
3 Design and principle of oper-
ation
Î Refer to Fig.3
The regulator are closed when relieved of
pressure. They open when the upstream
pressure rises above the adjusted set point.
The Type44-4, Type44-7 and Type44-8
Excess Pressure Valves mainly consist of the
valve (1) with seat (2) and plug (3) as well
as the actuator with operating diaphragm
(6.1), set point spring (8) and set point adjuster (10).
The excess pressure valve is used to maintain
the pressure upstream of the regulator to an
adjusted set point.
The process medium ows through the regulator between seat and plug in the direction
indicated by the arrow on the body. The position of the valve plug determines the ow
rate and, as a result, the upstream pressure.
The upstream pressure p
transmitted over the control line (11) to the
operating diaphragm (6.1) where it is converted into a positioning force. This force is
used to move the valve plug according to the
force of the set point spring (8). The spring
force can be adjusted at the set point adjuster (10).
The Type44-8 Safety Excess Pressure Valve
additionally has a second backup diaphragm (6.2). Upon failure of the rst operating diaphragm (6.1) the regulator contin-
ues to function using the backup diaphragm (6.2). In this case, the regulator
functions as a safety valve when the upstream pressure rises too far and opens the
to be controlled is

valve. Diaphragm failure is indicated by a
red mark in the diaphragm rupture indicator
(12) (point of response at approx. 1.5bar)
or medium escapes at the test connection.
The Type44-4 Safety Excess Pressure Valve
additionally has a second backup diaphragm (6.2). Upon failure of the rst operating diaphragm (6.1) the regulator is fully opened. Diaphragm failure is indicated by a
red mark in the diaphragm rupture indicator
(12) (point of response at approx. 1.5bar)
or medium escapes at the test connection.

5.2 Additional ttings
Strainer
!
NOTICE
Do not install a strainer upstream of
Type44-4 and Type44-8 Safety Excess Pressure Valves.
A strainer installed upstream in the ow pipe
holds back any dirt or other foreign particles
carried along by the medium. For example,
the SAMSON Type1NI Strainer is suitable
(uT1010).
The following points must be observed
during installation of the strainer:
− Install the strainer upstream of the
Type44-7 Regulator.
− Allow sufcient space to remove the lter.
− Observe the ow direction.
− In horizontal pipelines with gases or liq-
uids, the lter element faces downward.
The lter element faces sideways in applications with steam.
− Install strainers in vertical pipelines with
the medium owing upward with the
drain plug facing upward.
Note
Check the strainer at regular intervals and
clean it, if necessary.
Shut-off valve
Install a hand-operated shut-off valve both
upstream of the strainer and downstream of
the regulator (see Fig.5). This allows the
plant to be shut down for cleaning and
maintenance, and when the plant is not used
for longer periods of time.
Pressure gauges
Install a pressure gauge both upstream and
downstream of the regulator to monitor the
pressures prevailing in the plant (see Fig.5).

springs
!
DANGER
Risk of personal injury due to preloaded
springs.
Regulators in combination with preloaded
set point springs are under tension. These
regulators can be identied by the red warning label on the actuator's set point springs.
− Before starting any work on the springs,
relieve the compression from the preloaded
springs.
− Only use the SAMSON disassembly tool
(1280-4052).
!
NOTICE
Risk of regulator damage due to excessively
high or low tightening torques.
Observe the specied torques on tightening
regulator components. Excessively tightened
torques lead to parts wearing out quicker.
Parts that are too loose may cause leakage.
Observe the specied tightening torques.
!
NOTICE
Risk of TÜV approval (based on AGFW
worksheet FW506) for Types44-4 and
44-8 becoming void.

8 Malfunctions
The malfunctions listed in Table5 are caused
by mechanical faults and incorrect regulator
sizing. In the simplest case, the functioning
can be restored following the recommended
action. Special tools may be required for repair work.
Exceptional operating and installation conditions may lead to changed situations that
may affect the control response and lead to
malfunctions. For troubleshooting, the conditions, such as installation, process medium,
temperature and pressure conditions, must
be taken into account.
SAMSON's After-sales Service department
can help during troubleshooting. Further information is available in section10.1.
We recommend removing the regulator from
the pipeline before repairing it.
