FUNCTIONAL PRINCIPLE Because of the ELASTIC SEALING SYSTEM, the KLINGER Ballostar® KHE ball valve is absolutely leak tight at high, but also at extremely low pressures. The required contact forces between sealing ring and ball are created by the differential pressure in the ball valve. For the FLOATING BALL sealing principle it is important that the shut-off device is freely moveable. The sealing rings perform two functions at the same time: They guide the ball and absorb bearing forces.

FORCE FLOW The forces which are absorbed by the sealing rings increase with larger nominal diameters (DN, NPS). Therefore the floating ball design is only used for small sized ball valves. To achieve a high service life and to reduce the operating torques for pivot movements, the floating ball design is only used for sizes up to DN 125. For larger sizes lower costs in production face the significant higher costs for increasing the moment of force to surmount the high operating torques. The increased amount of friction caused by high loading pressures additionally leads to a low service life and a poor number of shifting cycles.

wT 2575/11 Page 4

MODE OF OPERATION The sealing system of the bore consists of:

- A pre-stressed elastic sealing element made of stainless and acid resistant steel with a KFC-sealing ring (Standard) and a U-Sleeve made of K-Flon located at the pitch of the body and the flange end piece.

- An inelastic sealing ring located in a chambered groove in the body - The ball between sealing element and sealing ring

Basically KLINGER Ballostar® KHE ball valves can be pressurized in both directions. In consequence of the different design of the two sealing components two operating conditions depending on the mounting direction are possible: 1.) The elastic sealing element respective the flange end piece is mounted upstream: The fluid pressure presses the ball against the downstream located sealing ring. At the same time, the upstream located sealing element is pressed against the ball. Because of the elasticity of the KLINGER sealing system two sealing areas are permanently available in the bore. For standard applications KLINGER recommends this situation of installation as preferred mounting direction. This recommended direction is additionally marked with an arrow on the valve body.

Occurring forces: F1…Fluid force acting on ball

F2…Fluid force acting on

sealing element

Fv…Spring force of sealing

element

F1+F2+Fv…Total force, which

acts onto the sealing ring

wT 2575/11 Page 5

2.) Inelastic sealing ring respective body flange is mounted upstream: The fluid pressure acts against the preloading force of the elastic sealing element located downstream. If the force of the fluid pressure is higher than the preloading force, the ball lifts from the sealing ring and only the downstream located sealing element performs the primary sealing function. Due to the fact that this condition occurs at high differential pressures the surface pressure between sealing element and ball is high enough to enable an effective sealing. At high differential pressures the preloading force of the elastic sealing element is high enough to press the ball against the upstream located sealing ring. A second primary sealing area is created, which enables an outstanding effective sealing!

High differential pressures: FV-F1 < F1 …ball lifts from upstream located sealing ring Low differential pressures: FV-F1 > F1 …upstream located sealing ring is in full function KLINGER Ballostar® KHE ball valves are basically maintenance free and can be pressurized in both flow directions. The U-sleeve which is drawn onto the supporting ring is completely chambered and seals the pitch flange against the outside. Additionally ball valves of type KHE have secondary graphite sealing between body and flange end piece.

Fv…Spring force of sealing

Fv-F1…Total force, which acts

onto the sealing ring and

wT 2575/11 Page 6

THE EXTERNAL SEALING SYSTEM The sealing of the shifting shaft (operating stem) is carried out by a belleville washer supported stuffing box. This type of sealing is almost maintenance free and has just little set-off behaviour. Only small tightening forces are required for leak tightness. The arrangement of the belleville washer ensures that a constant contact pressure acts against the stuffing box to compensate alternating temperature- and pressure changes.

WELT OF SEALING RING The grove in the body prevents floating of the sealing ring in radial direction (1) against the back side (2) and the bore (3). The ball presses against the sealing ring (4). Therefore the sealing ring can not set down or flow, because it is surrounded on each side.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR TREATMENT KLINGER Ballostar ball valves are delivered in OPEN position. To protect them against dirt contamination and damage the flange ends are covered with plastic caps. We recommend removing the caps not until you want to install the valve. KLINGER valves should be stored in closed rooms with non-aggressive ambient atmosphere and where they are protected from moisture and dirt. Furthermore the maximum temperatures and pressures, specified in the P/T-diagrams, should not be exceeded during operation. Just under these specified conditions mentioned before our warranty for the determined duration is valid. Please notice, this warranty does not include valve components that are subjected to corrosion, erosion and wear during operation If cover- or shrink foils are used, you have to have to make sure, that the atmosphere within the foil is free of condensation. For storage in dusty rooms appropriate protective measures are recommended. To avoid confusion we suggest to name and store parts according to their shipping documents. The temperature in the storage areas should range between -20° C and +50° C. Fast changes of temperature should be avoided (creation of condensation- and perspiration water). Instructions for treatment and application are part of the shipment and should therefore be stored next to the goods. This makes sure that all necessary information and documentation are passed on. Changes in documentation which belong to the storage of KLINGER products are timely forwarded by circular letters. Damages which can result from inappropriate storage absolve KLINGER from obligations deriving from guarantee, warranty and product liability.

wT 2575/11 Page 8

KLINGER ball valves are basically MAINTENANCE FREE! During long periods of non-operating, the valves have to be drained. In case of leakage the screws of the body have to be retightened. Please check table No.1 for the required torque values! KLINGER recommends operating the valve minimum six times a year to increase the service life!

Assembly is done in reversed sequence (6-5-4-3-2-1) Please Remember: Screw bolts have to be tightened crosswise! Check the table 1 (page 7) to get the correct torque values and wrench sizes.

wT 2575/11 Page 16

INSTALLATION OF VALVE Although KHE ball valves can be pressurised in both flow directions, KLINGER recommends a preferred mounting direction. The correct mounting direction is marked with an arrow on the valve body. This ensures that the flange end piece (respective the elastic sealing element) of the ball valve is positioned upstream. ATTENTION: Make sure, that you use the metal part of the hand lever and not the plastic cover to bear or lift the valve.

MOUNTING OF ACTUATOR Preparation: Type and Dimension of the actuator is determined by the required torque for operating the ball valve. The torque values of valve and actuator can be taken from the torque tables. Attention should be paid to the operating conditions.

A type plate is not standard Direct mounting of actuators (as shown on the picture above) is only recommended for temperatures beneath 80°C. KLINGER recommends to use mounting kits with bracket and coupling, if the connection-holes of actuator and valve do not match or high operating temperatures occur. Installation: • Turn both valve and actuator into “OPEN”-position. • Install actuator in the correct position (ATTENTION: valve closes with counter clock wise rotation).

Make sure, that the 90° rotation precisely complies with the end positions “OPEN” respective “CLOSE”.

• Perform an operational test

Take notice of the actuator position! (Remember: the actuator has to be in “OPEN”-position during the assembly)

INITIATING OPERATION After installation and before initiating operation make sure to: • Remove solid parts from the pipeline, which are not components of the fluid. • Perform a functional test • Perform a pressure test Please notice that damages, which are caused by impurities or solid parts in the fluid/medium, are excluded from warranty!

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

In general the usage and operation of these valves is without any risks. But remember yourself to act with caution and care: ● Make sure, that you choose the correct type of ball valve which meets the requirements of your application and operating conditions. Take care of the safety instructions and pressure/temperature limits. Use the product catalogue to select the best suitable material for your field of application • Before installing and dismounting the valve the line is drained and not pressurized. • Do not loose any screws on parts which are under pressure, unless this task is specified in the

mounting and treatment instructions. • The assembling and service tasks should be performed only by qualified people. • Make sure that all connections are duly tightened, after the dismantling process. • Do not open any screws, bolts or nuts by force.

• ATTENTION when opening drain cocks – DANGER fluid is released. • ATTENTION – take care of moving/movable parts! Especially if ball valves are equipped with

electric or pneumatic actuator. This mounting and treatment instructions have to be referred to those employees who are operating or maintaining these types of ball valves!
