1. General Terms

This operating manual should be read carefully by the competent
operating and maintenance personnel.

We point out that we will not accept any liability for damage or
malfunctions resulting from the non-compliance with this
operating manual.

Descriptions and data given herein are subject to technical changes.

2. Safety Instructions

Danger!

- The line and cleaning system must be depressurized before any
maintenance of the valve.

UK

- Electric and pneumatic connections must be separated.

- Do not reach into the open valve ball!

Risk of injury by sudden valve operation!

- Observe service instructions to ensure a safe maintenance of
the valve.

- Dismantle the actuator before the exchange of seals.

- During valve operation, operating leakages spirt out the drain
pipe to the bottom.

- If the cleaning connection is not used,it must be sealed by a
plug or operating leakages must be discharged.

3. Mode of operation

The DKRT 2 double-seat ball valve was particularly developed for
the use in applications in which product safety against intermixing
is of highest priority.

Low tank outlet heights through compact constructions, unreduced
flow capacities through pipe diameter - sized balls and double-seal
technology guarantee a safe and product-gentle function.

- Actuation of the pneumatic turning actuator with air connection at
(A) drives the valve into the position "open".Reset into the limit
position "closed" by spring force.

- In closed position two line sections with different liquids (B and C)
are separated by two independently acting seals.
The intervening leakage chamber is open to the atmosphere
through the free drain (D).

- In open position the liquid flows through the free opening cross
section of the smooth valve passage.No inversion of the liquid
flow in the valve area.

UK

- In closed and open operating position cleaning liquid can be
injected at the CIP connection at (E) to clean the leakage chamber.

- During the operating process, operating leakages bleed from the
leakage drain (D) downwards.If a cleaning line is not connected,
the cleaning connection (E) must be sealed by a plug or operating
leakages must be discharged.

- The cleaning connection (E) can be used to vent the leakage
chamber for a faster emptying or to sterilize the leakage chamber
with steam.

5. Cleaning

Cleaning recommendation for the DKR valve
in the beverage industry

cleaning step CIP - spraying

pre - flushing 2 x 10 sec.
caustic flushing 80° C 3 x 10 sec.
intermediate flushing 2 x 10 sec.
acid flushing 3 x 10 sec.
subsequent flushing 2 x 10 sec.

- The flushing times refer to a cleaning pressure of p = 3 - 5 bar.

- The flushing times indicated for the individual cleaning steps are
standard values. In specific applications these times must be
adjusted depending on the product, the pressure ratio and the
degree of soiling.

- The flushing quantity per CIP spraying cycle amounts to
about 1 litre at a cleaning pressure of 3 - 5 bar.

6. Installation

- The valve must be installed in horizontal position at the tank bottom.
Fluids and operating leakages are, therefore, freely drainable to the
bottom and the leakage chamber drains off.

- With several valves being parallely connected with one pipeline,
a passage of the operating leakage to the cleaning connection of
adjacent valves must be avoided.
Installation of a shut-off device or a check valve in front of the
cleaning connection is required.

- Cleaning connection with hose 8 x 1.

- Attention: Observe welding instructions.

6.1 Welding Instructions

DKRT

- Before welding of the valve, the welding flanges must be dismantled
from the housing. Tacking or adjustment of the valves should only
be undertaken with screwed down welding flanges.

- The welding of the mating flanges must be undertaken in such a
way that deformation does not occur.

- Welding should only be carried out by certified welders (EN 287-1).
(Seam quality EN 25817 "B").

- TIG orbital welding is best!

- The preparation of the weld seam up to 3 mm thickness can be
carried out as a square butt joint without air. (Consider shrinkage!)

- After welding of the mating flanges and after work at the pipelines,
the corresponding parts of the installation or pipelines must be
cleaned from welding residues and soiling.If these cleaning
instructions are not observed, welding residues and dirt particles
can settle in the valve and cause damage or can be transfered to
other parts of the installation.

UK

- Any damage resulting from the non-observance of these welding
instructions is not subject to our guarantee.
