INTRODUCTION : At Reliance Jamnagar Model 1815/1830, Daniel make digital set stop valves have been used for

r loading operation control and accurate product filling in truck tankers and wagons. Digital set stop valve has many benefits compared to normal on/off or plug type control valves. These are, FEATURE Positive shut off Smooth transition Adjustable opening speed Adjustable closing speed Low pressure drop Tight piston seal All seals PTFE ( Teflon ) Bonnet can be rotated Piston cylinder fill and drain port Seal cleaning integral strainer Easy service Fail safe operation Internal thermal relief BENEFIT Prevents leaks, product loss From closed to initial flow or vice versa prevents slamming and low flow chatter With rampup prevents static charge buildup as flow starts With rampdown prevents hydraulic line shock ( water hammer effect ) save energy, allows using a smaller pump means valve will hold position without electrical signals for maximum wear protection and wide application of the valve to match flow direction and wide application of the valve allows collected water, air and debries to be flushed out no maintenance, uses aerodynamic shape for total cleaning because design allows access to internals without removing valve from line Internal spring assures that valve will cose if line pressure and/or electrical power is lost, or for emergency shutdown ( ESD ) service Valve design provides inherent downstream thermal relied to upstream at no extra cost.

Typical Applications : Typical applications include : Loading / Unloading at terminals truck, rail, pipeline, storage, tankers/barges Pipeline flow control hydrocarbons, paints, resins, solvents, breweries, power plants, paper, marine and other industries Skid mounted metering/control units Blending and mixing Emergency shutdown (ESD ) Hi- level shutdown to prevent overfill Material of construction : DESCRIPTION Valve body Valve cover Valve seat Spring, stem, stem nut Poppet, poppet guide Poppet seal MATERIAL Cast steel Cast steel Cast steel Stainless steel Aluminium Graphic impregnated Teflon ( PTFE )

Model 1815/1830 Valve Operation : The Daniel Model 1815/1830 valve is intended for use with liquids only ( no gases ) . It must be hydraulically packed at all times with positive pressure at the upstream inlet; it is not designed to operate on the suction or negative pressure side of the pump. It should be installed on the discharge side of a pump for proper operation and/or downstream of a meter so that the meter will be kept full of product for best metering accuracy. For maintenance and safety, manual isolation valves should be installed upstream and downstream of the model 1815/1830 valve, strainer, air eliminator, and/or meter. All equipment must be installed and used in accordance with all applicable codes and regulations, including NFPA # 30 and 70. The valve closes securely when a Teflon valve disc seals against the seat machined in the valve body. A tapered cone extending below the sealing surface has scooped out scallops which alter the flow pattern just as the valve closes or initially opens. They provide a smooth transition between flowing and non flowing conditions and eliminate chatter of the valve at very low flow rates.

Installation : In order to insure safe, accurate and efficient operation of the DSSV, the following list of checkpoints and procedures should be followed when installing the valve. 1. Make a careful visual inspection of the valve to insure that there has been no damage to the external piping, fittings or controls. Check that all fittings are tight. 2. Thoroughly flush all interconnection piping of chips, scale and foreign matter prior to mounting the valve. 3. Install the valve in line according to the flow arrow marked on the inlet flange. The arrow should point downstream flow direction. 4. Allow sufficient room around the valve for ease of adjustment and maintenance. 5. Both needle valve should be in fully open position.

Maintenance : The DSSV requires no lubrication and minimum maintenance. However a peridic inspection should be established to determine how the fluid being handled is affecting the efficiency of the valve. Valve interior inspection is recommended to check the foreign patricals on valve seat anf PTFE gasket. This may lead to leakage through valve piston. In all case this warn out parts should be replaced with new one. Pl. refer Maintenance check sheet for checking all the valve accessories.

Troubleshooting : PROBLEM Valve opens too slowly,or will not open SOLUTION DSSV needle valve adjustment 1. Counter clockwise will speed valve opening 2. Clockwise will slow down the valve opening 3. Needle valve in fully closed condition will not allow valve to open. DSSV needle valve adjustment 1. Counter clockwise will speed valve opening 2. Clockwise will slow down the valve opening 3. Needle valve in fully closed condition will not allow valve to open. Recommended spares required before opening the valve No clicks form the solenoids Ball seal damaged or wore Check highflow, lowflow parameters Down stream Normally closed SOV not holding Close downstream needle valve and check if leak stops Teflon disc on poppet bottom is damaged Ball seal, valve disc, Teflon seal Body top gasket Check connections Check the resistance values of SOVs.
