Important Notes

Safety Note

The equipment must only be installed and commissioned by qualified and competent staff.Retrofitting and maintenance work must only be performed by qualified staff who – through adequate training – have achieved a recognised level of competence.

The valve is under pressure during operation. When loosening flanged connections, sealing plugs or stuffing boxes, hot water and steam may escape.The valve becomes hot during operation. This presents the risk of severe burns to hands and arms. Before servicing or retrofitting the valve or loosening flanges, stuffing box connections or sealing plugs make sure that all connected lines are depressurised (0 bar) and cooled down to room temperature (�0 °C).Sharp edges on internals present a danger of cuts to hands. Always wear industrial gloves when replacing the packing, valve seat or valve plug. During operation moving internals can pinch one‘s hands or fingers. Do not touch moving parts! The intermittent valves for removing boiler sludge MPA 46, MPA 47 are remote controlled and can open and close very abruptly.

Danger

Usage for the intended purpose

PA 46, PA 47, MPA 46, MPA 47:Use the rapid-action intermittent valves*) only for removing boiler water containing accumulated nonmetallic sediments from steam boilers within the admissible pressure und temperature ratings.Use only compressed air (at room temperature) or pressurized water (at room temperature) as control fluid for the GESTRA diaphragm actuator in accordance with the specified pressure/temperature ratings.*) Please note: In British English an intermittent valve for removing boiler sludge is referred to as “(intermittent) bottom blowdown valve”. In American English the term “(intermittently operating) blowoff valve” is used, but only in conjunction with a slowopening valve (ASME code).

Attention

The name plate specifies the technical features of the equipment. Note that any piece of equipment without its specific name plate must neither be commissioned nor operated.

Description

Intermittent valves for manual or automatic and programmecontrolled removing of boiler sludge from land or marine installations, particularly if these installations are operated without constant supervision in accordance with TRD 604. Sludge sediments, which are accumulated precipitates from boiler water that settle at the bottom of the boiler, will be removed from the steam boiler with the the aid of valves PA and MPA. These valves give the boiler a short blow at regular intervals, thereby discharging accumulated sludge and sediments.■ PA 46 and PA 47 are designed for manual operation (diaphragm actuator can be retrofitted).■ MPA 46 and MPA 47 feature a diaphragm actuator for compressed air or pressurized water.

The intermittent valves for removing boiler sludge PA 46 and PA 47 are openend by means of a hand lever. A pressure pin forces the springloaded valve plug out of the valve seat. The large cross sectional area of the orifice creates a suction effect, giving a shortterm high water flow which will discharge the precipitated sludge and sediments and if installed move them to a mixing cooler (= blowdown receiver). The intermittent valve for removing boiler sludge must be completely opened for about � seconds with the aid of the hand lever in order to give the boiler a short and highly effective blow.The intermittent valves for removing boiler sludge MPA 46 and MPA 47 are openend by the diaphragm actuator. The guide pin of the diaphragm actuator acts upon the pressure pin, which in turn forces the springloaded valve plug out of the valve seat. The large crosssectional area of the orifice creates a suction effect, giving a shortterm high water flow which will discharge the precipitated sludge and sediments and if installed move them to a mixing cooler (= blowdown receiver). Compressed air (at room temperature) or pressurized water (at room temperature) can be used as control fluid for the diaphragm actuator in accordance with the specified pressure and temperature ratings.The duration of the bottom blowdown, i. e. the time when the valve is open, should be approx. � seconds. The time period when the valve remains closed and hence the frequency of the bottom blowdown must be established as a function of the size and capacity of the steam boiler.The duration and frequency of the bottom blowdown must be established individually by the user as a function of the size and capacity of the steam boiler, the boiler water quality and the corresponding load.

The flanged connections of the PA 46, PA 47, MPA 46, MPA 47 must be permanently bolted and leakproof.After starting up the steam boiler or pressure vessel, the intermittent valve for removing boiler sludge should be completely opened and closed once. The valve must close automatically, ensuring tight shutoff.The stuffing box must be leakproof! Inspect the check hole 4 in order to detect any fluid leakage.If the equipment is mounted in a new and unpurged installation increase the blowdown frequency a little at the beginning.

Duration and frequency of intermittent boiler blowdown

When the GESTRA intermittent valve opens, a localized lowpressure area forms around the blowoff opening and the boiler sludge rushes out at high velocity, giving the steam boiler a short blow. The discharge of sludge and precipitated solids (valve fully open) takes approx. � seconds. In order to ascertain the blowdown frequency, the operating data of the installation have to be taken into account.As ancillary equipment for the intermittent blowdown valves MPA... we recommend the GESTRA ProgrammeControlled Blowdown System TA... To control the salt content (TDS) of the boiler water we recommend the GESTRA Continuous Blowdown Valves BA... or BAE...

Operation

Intermittent boiler blowdown

Simple water treatment processes cannot prevent small amounts of alkaline earths from getting into the boiler water, thereby causing residual hardness. As a consequence chemical treatment for removal of hardness in the steam boiler is necessary. The controlled addition of moderate amounts of excess phosphate ions (’phosphate treatment‘) leads to the precipitation of calcium phosphates and magnesium phosphates. Both substances form fine sludge deposits which settle out on heating surfaces and the bottom of the boiler. These sludge deposits can form an adherent insulating coating on heating surfaces, resulting in an effect similar to that of hard scale. These insulating layers formed in zones of high heat transfer retard the flow of heat and cause overheating, which may result in deformation and ultimately failure of the affected boiler parts. It is therefore essential to remove sludge deposits at regular intervals. Although the use of polyacrylates as complexing agents for removing residual hardness has a dispersing effect, the freeflowing boiler sludge must also be removed by blowdown.Hardness salts and other impurities are kept in suspension by polyacrylates but will eventually over time settle down on the boiler bottom in the form of finely divided sludge particles. These sludge deposits impair boiler safety and should be removed by intermittent boiler blowdown.

Risk of severe burns! The hand lever of the intermittent blowdown valve PA 46, PA 47 is hot during operation. Touching the hot hand lever can cause severe burns.Use thermally insulated and temperature resistant safety gloves when operating the valve.During operation moving internals can pinch one’s hands or fingers, causing severe injuries. Do not touch moving parts.The intermittent blowdown valves MPA 46, MPA 47 are remote controlled and can open and close abruptly.

Emergency operation MPA 46, MPA 47

Risk of severe injuries to the whole body. The intermittent blowdown valves MPA 46, MPA 47 are remote controlled and can open and close abruptly. Make sure that the line for the control fluid of the diaphragm actuator is depressurized (zero bar) and isolated during the emergency operation of the MPA 46, MPA 47.Insert the hand lever for emergency operation only to operate the valve and remove it immediately after operation.

Danger

Fitting hand lever for emergency operation

�. Fit hand lever for emergency operation s, operate intermittent valve for removing boiler sludge.�. Remove hand lever for emergency operation s immediately after operation.

GESTRA intermittent valves for removing boiler sludge PA 46, PA 47, MPA 46 and MPA 47 are usually free of maintenance. Depending on the quality of the boiler water and the operating mode of the steam generating unit the equipment may have to be serviced after one to two years of operation.

Maintenance

If fluid escapes through the check hole 4 the union nut f of the stuffing box must be retightened:�. Observe danger note on page 4.�. Insert pin punch through the opening in the distance sleeve 3 into one of the holes of the union nut

f; carefully tighten it clockwise by hand until no more fluid escapes through the check hole 4.3. Open the intermittent blowdown valve completely. The stuffing box must not leak.4. Check control hole 4 for leaks. If fluid escapes, retighten stuffing box. The valve must close auto

matically without leaking.

Retightening stuffing box

Attention

■ Replace internals of stuffing box if it can no longer be retightened by tightening the union nut f.

■ Loosen the union nut f a little if the force of the spring does not suffice to close the valve automatically. If fluid escapes through the check hole all internals of the stuffing box must be replaced.
