Gas safety train
| No. | Component description | Standards and Docuthek |
|---|---|---|
| 010 | Manual isolating valve, e.g. manual valve AKT | |
| 020 | Filter, e.g. gas filter GFK
|
|
| 030-040 | Pressure gauge, e.g. pressure gauge with capsule element KFM or pressure gauge with Bourdon tube RFM with pressure gauge valve DH or MH | |
| 050 | High gas pressure protection, e.g. pressure switch for gas DG
The max. pressure switch setpoints to be adjusted depend on the installation location and the process conditions.
|
|
| 060 | Low-pressure cut-off, e.g. pressure switch for gas DG
The min. pressure switch setpoints to be adjusted depend on the installation location and the process conditions.
Our tip: pressure switches should be installed preferably with horizontal or vertical diaphragm. Ensure that no dirt or moisture can penetrate the open ventilation ports. |
|
| 070 | Automatic shut-off valve, e.g. solenoid valves for gas VAS
|
|
| 080 | Gas pressure switch, e.g. Type DG
|
|
| 090 | Valve proving system, e.g. tightness control TC 410
The standard EN 746-2 stipulates a tightness control for capacities over 1200 kW. |
|
| 100 | Relief valve, e.g. solenoid valves for gas VAS
Auxiliary valve to assume the function of the leak tightness device in multiple burner systems. Vents the downstream pipeline into a safe area.
|
Our tip: at maximum flow rate, filters should show a pressure loss of no more than 10 mbar.Application
Main gas train to EN 746-2. This is a part of the gas distribution system of the industrial thermoprocessing equipment (IThE), e.g. for downstream multiple burner systems.
Function
If the main shut-off valve (010) is open, the gas flows through the filter (020). Any dirt in the gas or pipe system will be retained.
The automatic shut-off valve (070) is part of the protective system, as are the low-pressure cut-off (050), the high gas pressure protection device (060) and the valve proving system (090). These compulsory safety devices are actuated separately by the process control system. In the case of insufficient or excessively high gas flow, the process control system will receive a signal and shut off the gas supply safely by closing the valve (070). Another valve, which must be installed directly upstream of the burner, will also be closed. Before each commissioning or after switching off the system, the valve proving system (090) checks the functioning of these valves. Here, the gas volume enclosed between the valves must be channelled off to a safe area by opening the venting valve (100).
The inlet and outlet pressure will be displayed on the pressure gauges (030/040).
